Thanks ladies. 65% of women favor stricter gun laws; only 44% of men do

Green, where did I ever say you were making more women want gun control laws with your post?

I am pointing out the hypocrisy of libertarians being "anti-collectivism," and then you posting this and ignoring individuals. It's a media hit piece that directly divides the sexes - and your sarcastic title "thanks ladies," doesn't exactly help, either.

Believe what you want, and I will believe I want about you :)

If I didn't believe in majority of the positions held by a man (Ron Paul), I wouldn't be here. So I guess if men and women do truly think differently, I am a fool. :D

This post just made me groan. Women.

Ha ha, threadwinner! Not entirely fair or accurate as to get that ratio you have to look at Republicans only, but still, very skillful.

I wonder if we took the entire Senate, and saw what proportion of women vs. men supported the filibuster what our picture would look like?

I think it's good to look at the whole picture, you're right and do have a point. Another thing I'd like to take a look at is how many female presidents actually signed off on any federal gun control regulations.
 
Where is Annie Oakley when you need her?????????? What's strange is that women generally appear obsessed with abortion, but have no problem condemning an inanimate tool like a gun or rifle.

So do men.

Women didn't have the vote yet when the Federal Reserve Act was created and passed. Good job fellas--thanks for that!

Decent comparison. Men can be suckered just as much as women. They do tend to get suckered in different ways, though. Men actually supported the Federal Reserve Act trying to protect their own interests, pun intended, they just got sold a bill of goods. Women are much more likely to get suckered into a cause for compassionate reasons that they see as being helpful to others. Again that is a collectivist statement of the group as a whole, there are outstanding and many exceptions. Women are more likely to be the "moral, do-gooder tyrants" that C.S. Lewis referred to.

They are both wrong. I think you will be much more likely to see a man support a subsidy that he himself benefits from, and a woman more likely to acknowledge that is not fair and is a form of theft. But I think women are much more likely to play Robin Hood and support bad things if they perceive it as charitable, helping the underprivileged etc. and my experience has been it is VERY difficult to move them from that position to understand that respecting property rights has to trump a "good cause".

I think that's one of the most fair posts in these "blame game" threads.

In my ultimate opinion, everyone who's paid a cent of taxes to prop all of this up is to blame, and that means all of us. Male/female, left/right or otherwise.
