Gender Gap Watch, 5/13

Daniel A. Cox, Beatrice Lee, Dana Popky write,

Nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of college-educated women believe it is more important to prioritize protecting the environment even at the cost of slower economic growth and some job loss, a view held by less than half (45 percent) of men without a college degree. Rather, a majority (51 percent) of men with no college education say we should prioritize economic growth and job creation, even if the environment suffers to some extent.

. . .Less than half (48 percent) of men without a college degree say they have an unfavorable view of Trump. College-educated women are much more likely to express a negative opinion of the former president: Nearly three-quarters (73 percent) have an unfavorable view of Trump. Fifty-nine percent of college-educated women have a very unfavorable view of Trump.

Later,

Patterns of physical attraction are considerably different across generations, especially among women. Three-quarters (75 percent) of young men say they are attracted to only women, compared to 91 percent of senior men. The generation gap is even larger among women: 56 percent of young women report being attracted to only men, compared to 83 percent of senior women.

And,

Nearly half (47 percent) of men report that they think about sex most days or every day. In contrast, only about one in five (19 percent) women report thinking about sex this frequently.

Are you allowed to say this? It makes the evolutionary psychologists sound correct.

‘Nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of college-educated women believe it is more important to prioritize protecting the environment…’

And who have never gone hungry, never had to go without, struggle, live in some grotty, tiny, dank apartment with three or four kids, and unable to find a job.

I am gaining some sympathy with Pol Pot’s idea to drive the educated and intellectuals out of the cities to work in the fields and know what subsistance, hard work and hunger is about.

This seems drastically low. Throws the whole study into question!
