This study has come to my attention and I think it explains a lot about what has been happening throughout the past 15 years.

The study depicted a game being played by volunteers. Two players were chosen to be punished. One followed the rules and the other cheated. The study then measured the brain activity of the men and women who were observing the punishments taking place and were aware of who played fairly and unfairly.

The findings of this study is that both men and women had an equal amount of sympathy for when the fair player was punished. However, when the rule-breaker was punished, only the women felt sympathy. The men, on the other hand, not only didn't feel sympathy for the rule-breaker but felt a sense of reward as they felt that justice has been served.

What do you think?

totally makes sense.

woman loves dark triad personality traits.

why do you think ted bundy got that many marriage proposals and woman that defended him when he was at jail?

[Snakeyes7]

It's true, I think women love men who stand up for themselves but it just so happens that the only men who are able to are also assholes. The ones who wouldn't be are taught that self-defence is toxic-masculinity and too many buy it.

I remember that woman killer ironically named Wade Wilson had tons of women sending him love letters to him.

[aceleon]

actually standing up for yourself kinda means being a violent asshole in an evolutionary perspective.
you talking your way down in an argument is kind of the same thing you showing your canines and growl, eliminating a percieved threat via dominance, animals uses fear to eliminate you pursue a more sophisticated kind of show of dominance.

[Snakeyes7]

I guess, but unless you maliciously spin the story to make the person you "stood up to" to be the bad guy but you were the one who started it, I don't really see it as being a violent asshole, as it implies that you are violent towards the innocent. I'd say it's meek, as the word originally meant someone who is capable of great violence but only choose to use it for good.

If you are religious at all, the Bible says that those are the people who will inherit the Earth (Matthew 5:5).

religious yes, not a christian though, quranist muslim.

Fair enough

[Mike_Hum]

It certainly tracks with society today. The woman's capacity for empathy has been hijacked by commies.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Shows that many men are a**holes, but I've known it for DECADES !!!

[Snakeyes7]

Not wanting cheaters is being an asshole? Explain.

[beefcakebradybatson]

NOBODY wants a cheater, but too many men eschew empathy.

[Snakeyes7]

Why show empathy for a cheater being punished for cheating? The idea is to discourage cheating.

Seems legit.
