WEBVTT - Why Are Women More Liberal than Men? | Male/Female Hour 0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:07.480 Life Audio on today's episode of Timeless Wisdom. 0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.680 Why is it that women tend to be more liberal 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:12.840 in their politics than men? 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:15.600 You were talking in the last segment. One of the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:18.279 comments that you made made me made me really think 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:23.120 about something, and that was that, you know, generally women 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:28.080 tend to look at things from the viewpoint of more 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.319 individual and you know, yeah, how. 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.920 Does that affect How does that affect me and my family? 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:34.400 Go ahead? 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.519 Well, right, and growing up, you know, in a family 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.440 that has both of those points of view, you know, 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.040 you're going to tend to absorb. I think you're going 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.280 to tend to absorb the point of view of the 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:46.239 people that raise you. 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.479 That's coming up on Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager. Welcome 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:54.800 to Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager. Here thousands of hours 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.160 of Dennis's lectures courses in classic radio programs had to 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:03.120 purchase Dennis Prager's rational by wells. Go to Dennisprager dot com. 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.720 I am old fashioned. I like two sexes. I don't know. 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.280 I think all of a sudden, I don't like being 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:09.880 married to one is known as a new woman. 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.160 I want a wife, not a competitor, competator. 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.040 Competitor talk about a bit, this crying in the morning thing. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.160 It's depression, you know, let's get that fixed. 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:19.440 That's what men think, isn't it. 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:23.280 What unless you've got the answer, unless you can say, oh, 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.319 I know this bloke in the Essex road call fix 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.399 that and there's no point bothering. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.320 How do you write women so well? 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.360 I think of a man and I take away reason 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:34.640 and accountability. 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.520 I love him, I love him and I don't care 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.880 what you think. I love him for the for the 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.880 man he wants to be, and I love him for 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.160 the man that he almost is. 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.320 What do people have rows about him? Money? It's sex 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.480 sex money he wants, she doesn't. 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.720 Want, she wants, he doesn't want women. I've always been 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.560 a big problem to met uspend. 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.680 Yes, yes, yes, go on, gone. 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.960 Hi everybody. This is Dennis Prager. Welcome to the Male 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:17.000 Female Hour. Although it is right before the national election, 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.639 we are having the male Female Hour, but I am 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:24.680 tying it into the time in which we live, and 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.160 then we will shortly, that is, within two weeks, go 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:33.680 back to pure male female hour. But I'm not postponing it. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:37.600 It's still the male female Hour. And the issue today 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:43.080 which does obviously strongly impinge on our nation's future, and 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.799 on for that matter, on humanity future, but certainly our 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.640 nations and on elections. Why is it that women tend 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.400 to be more liberal in their politics than men? That's 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.600 the question. Why, or if you wish to pose it 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.200 the other way, why are male and less liberal in 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:06.400 their politics than women are? And the issue here is 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.760 not right or wrong that I do on all the 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:12.200 other hours, this one. I mean, you all know where 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.760 I stand. I would say ninety nine percent of you do. 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.040 But that's not the point here. The point is to 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:21.800 be as clarifying as possible. Again, keeping with my model, 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.720 I prefer clarity to agreement. Let's try to figure out 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:30.600 why it is that women tend to be more liberal 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.080 in their politics. And I would like to offer some 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.720 thoughts on this and then get your reactions. Simple as 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:45.080 that well, not necessarily in order of importance, but absolutely 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.080 tied for first with whatever else it is tied with, 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:55.240 is the fact that women think when they think as women, 0:03:55.800 --> 0:04:00.320 in other words, when when they their natural tenets see 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:05.400 is to think in terms of the micro more than 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:10.960 the macro, the personal, the individual, rather than the broad 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:17.000 social questions. That is, more masculine thinking more feminine thinking 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.800 is the individual. And there's a great example that will 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:27.039 give you a perfect understanding of this difference without taking 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:32.320 any position on which is better or worse. I and 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:38.240 the example is the study that I read about having 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:43.600 men and women witness the same car crash. The women 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:49.520 who witnessed the car crash were far more likely to 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.880 focus on the suffering of those hurt in the crash 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.800 when they gave their reports to reporters and police. The 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.760 men were far more more likely to report who hit 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:08.760 whom and how the crash took place. Now Here is 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.240 a perfect example of where you need both feminine and 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.799 masculine attitudes. It's one of my biggest beliefs in life 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.200 is that we need the feminine the masculine. It's one 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.480 of the reasons that I most believe that it is 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.440 ideally that it's best for a child to have start 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:30.120 out life with a mother and a father, to have 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.000 this yin and yang, as they put it in Asia, 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:41.599 in one's life. Now the woman, the woman's concentration on 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.520 the suffering of the individuals and the car crash is 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.960 critical for society's survival because somebody has to take care 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.600 of these people and be preoccupied with the suffering of 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.599 the individual. I mean, women are far more likely to 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.440 hear the cries of the baby at night, not even cries, 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.960 you know, when they turn over in their bed or 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.960 their crib, and women marvel at us guys, being able 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.680 to sleep through whatever the kid is going through. I mean, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:18.359 I can only imagine how many kids might die for 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.880 that matter, if it was only the male ear that 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:30.760 we could rely on. So there is clearly a balance 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.360 here that if you believe is just the way evolution 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.800 wanted it, If you believe, as I do, the way 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.240 God made the world, that doesn't matter to me, but 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:45.360 that's the way it is. The masculine and the feminine 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:51.920 natural mode of thinking, they are just different with the 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:57.160 male is more macro and the female is more micro. 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.440 The individual that has a very very big impact. Remember, 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.520 the subject of today's Male Female Hour is why are 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.840 women more likely to be liberal voters than men are? 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:15.160 Because the liberal politics, liberal social policy is very much 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:20.840 geared toward the individual what will help that individual. Men 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.960 are more likely to ask, or masculine thinking is more 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:30.120 likely to ask what is better for society, whereas the 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.760 women going to vote is more likely to ask what 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:40.840 benefits me and my loved ones. That's the way now, 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.400 whether they come to the right conclusions or not as 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.560 a separate issue, but that is the way in which 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.960 they think. Number two, so first is micro background. Number 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:54.680 two is compassion versus standards and an idea that I 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.160 have brought to your attention over the course of so 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.880 much time. Women in thinking. And it doesn't mean men 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.800 don't have feminine thinking. A lot of men have exactly 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.200 this thinking, and a lot of women have masculine thinking 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:11.720 on political subjects. But this is the natural way in 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.640 which they will think. Women again, would be more compassion 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:21.320 oriented in social policy, men more standards oriented. The I 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.200 mean any number of examples. I'll give you two that 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.200 I know you're familiar with if you've listened to me 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:33.200 over the course of time at all. Same sex marriage 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:39.400 is a great example where feminine thinking is how does 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:44.360 this impinge upon the life of a gay person? Does 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.880 it hurt them? Is it fair to them? Etc. Etc. 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.520 The male masculine thinking is wait a minute, there is 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:58.160 a standard for defining marriage, and that is man woman 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.880 And that is the thing that society has to ask, 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:08.120 how do we maintain the standard, rather than how does 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.960 it affect every single given individual who happens to be 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.959 gay and wants to get married? And so they are 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.040 both coming from a good place, and they are both 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:24.640 coming to opposite conclusions. Another compassion versus standards example, and 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.480 they are all over the place, would be with regard 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.240 to the mess we have had with regard to the 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:38.280 housing market. Feminine thinking is compassion and therefore liberal, and 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:43.800 that is, let's lower the standards for giving loans to 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.440 poor people so that they can also have a house. 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.160 We can't be so strict in our standards that we 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:54.439 deny these people loans. So let's change and lower the 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:59.480 standards so we can do that. The masculine is and 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.240 the non liberal is. Hey, wait a minute, if we 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:07.240 lower the standards for giving out loans, a lot more 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.959 people are going to default on their homes and we 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.880 will be in terrible shape. And so once again you 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:21.400 have a liberal conservative feminine masculine difference one eight Prager 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.360 seven seven six one eight p R. A. G. E 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.880 Er seven seven six. Why women tend to be more 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.600 liberal in their voting? Interestingly, of course, as you know, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:37.920 as women become married and have children, they do, they 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:42.600 do become less liberal. The least liberal women in their 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.640 politics I'm talking not in their personal lives. Are those 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:51.440 who are married with children. Now that's that's in and 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.320 of itself a story to be talked about, and we 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:59.880 will talk about it. But in the meantime, I have 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.000 been focusing. And then I will take your calls and 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.720 we come back on two big ones macro versus micro 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:13.360 men macro masculine macro feminine micro and the other one 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:22.360 feminine compassion and masculine standards.

We have very intimate topics often 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.199 on the Male Female Hour. We continue when I return. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.960 This episode of Timeless Wisdom. We'll continue right after this. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:59.720 Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom. 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:07.400 All right, to everybody. Dennis Prager here, Male Female Hour, 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:13.840 talking to you in this electoral season, just a week 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.800 before the elections, in fact, about the question of male 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:22.160 female differences politically. Why are women more liberal than men 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.320 in their voting habits, and in their outlook. And I've 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.760 given two reasons why masculine and feminine thinking are different. 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:35.680 Masculine macro feminine, micro masculine standards, feminine compassion. These are generalizations. 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.320 And for those of you who went to college and 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:42.280 were taught not to think clearly and therefore to reject 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:46.840 all generalizations, please understand that generalizations are the only way 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.080 to understand the world. They may be wrong, any given 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.640 generalization just may be wrong, but the idea of generalizations 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.480 is a very important one, and I believe that these 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:00.920 generalizations are true. Secondly, for all generalizations are just that 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.880 there are surely women who have a more masculine thinking 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.880 in these matters and men with feminine thinking. Otherwise there 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.559 would be no male liberals and no female conservatives. Obviously, 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.880 but these are very big factors. They are not the 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.719 only ones, as we will see from our callers. One 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:25.040 A prager seven seven six. And let's see here, it's 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:29.319 an interesting question from here in Ohio where I am today, 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:35.320 and that is Adrian in Mentor, Ohio. How you enjoying 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:35.680 the weather? 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:37.920 Hi? Hi, Dennis. I'm doing all right. A little bit 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:38.880 chilly today. 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:43.439 Well, a little bit chilly. I mean it was hailing 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:49.880 when I walked into the studio. Anyway, I'm sorry. 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:51.880 It's warmer than seventeen degrees. 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.040 So you're right, you see, it's everything. This is truly 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.360 an example of everything is relative. When you come from 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.840 southern California, this is like the Arctic, but for you, 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.200 it's a it's it's a bombing day, all right, go. 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.640 Ahead, okay. When you were you were talking in the 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.560 last segment, one of the comments that you made made 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.400 me made me really think about something, and that was that, 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.840 you know, generally women tend to look at things from 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:23.720 the viewpoint of more individual and you know, how. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.320 Does that affect how does it affect me and my family? 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:26.800 Go ahead? 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.920 Well, right, and growing up, you know, in a family 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.800 that has both of those points of view, you know 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.760 you're gonna tend to absorb. I think you're gonna tend 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.200 to absorb the point of view of the people that 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:42.280 raise you. So in light of that and thinking about 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.080 things in a larger context as I do because I'm 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:50.720 a man, how does how does that affect those those 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.880 men or those boys that grow up with no father 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:58.560 in their lives. You know, in that situation that's right. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.160 It's a very good question. And I would not be 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:06.680 surprised if the greater number of liberal men uh is 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:11.000 related to the greater number of males being raised without 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:11.400 a dad. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.040 And then that's that feeds back also into you know, 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:19.280 there are particular populations that that tend to vote in 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.960 a particular direction, and that's been true for some time. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:26.600 I would I would be interested in in understanding how 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:31.400 big a part that plays in in their political views. 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.720 Yeah. I think your point is extremely well taken. It's 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.760 not one that I had immediately thought of, and I 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:42.560 agree with you. It's certainly it's certainly intuitive. Of course, 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.680 if you're raised by a mother only, uh and uh, 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.120 and there's no strong masculine influence in your life, then 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.720 where will you where will you get your conservative or 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.200 nonliberal values from? That's right. And by the way, this 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.560 this is again I'm trying to be as non judging 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:06.160 as possible this hour. This is truly just clarifying you 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:12.120 know where my own inclinations are. But I don't think 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.680 that that's necessarily a factor in your receiving what I'm 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:20.560 saying is as pretty valid. Alrighty, let's uh, let's go 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:25.680 to more of your theories on this. Aaron in Eden, Prairie, 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.840 Minnesota High Dennis Praeger. 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:29.640 Hi, Dennis, thanks for taking the call. 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:30.680 Thank you. 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.440 My husband and I were at Orchestra Hall last night. 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:38.960 It was a great event, oh wasn't it. I wish 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.200 a lot of I wish a lot of reporters who 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.960 make up this nonsense about hate hate at McCain Palin 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.640 rallies would have seen how the three thousand people were 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.160 behaving well. 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.040 And everybody's saying God bless America. And I mean it 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.800 was very patriotic. So I mean for anybody to say 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.880 anything like that is kind of silly, really, yep. But 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.680 I was calling because I think that a big part 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.920 of what it comes down to is women are more 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:11.680 emotional and are nurtures by nature, and so women have this, 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.119 you know, kind of innate feeling that they need to 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.720 take care of everyone, and so instead of looking to 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:22.000 solve the actual problem that's making people unhappy or deal 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.959 with financial issues or whatnot, they think of as kind 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.120 of that short term fix, you know, like something's wrong, 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.560 so let's go shopping and make usselve happy. I think 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.720 women tend to do that in a lot of aspects 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.520 of life. And so when they see all these issues 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.040 in society that they think that they can go out 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.720 and cure the world kind of instead of finding what 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:42.439 the problem is. 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:46.119 In six well, well you're let me go in a 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:50.760 slightly different direction because I agree with your first premise totally, 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:55.159 and that is the more nurturing female. And what she 0:17:55.320 --> 0:18:00.320 does is she translates her family life or her nurtureing 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:06.680 life into government life, so that just as I nurture, 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:12.520 I want the state to nurture. Yeah, okay, wonderful wonderfully said, 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.359 that's that's a great point. I I take care of 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.720 those I love. Why doesn't the state take care of 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:26.040 those it loves? That's really good and and that's exactly right. 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.600 It's like a law. And that's why this family rhetoric 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.920 that is very common on the liberal side, well, it's 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:37.719 all we're all one big family and uh and and 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:41.760 really does take over that rhetoric. We will take care 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:45.720 of you, just as you take care of those you love. Yeah, 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:50.960 that's that's a good one. Tampa, Florida, Marianne Hello, mary Anne. 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:56.960 Dennis Praeger Hello, I'm I'm a mother of five children, 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.000 and I was raised in South Louisiam, which was all. 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.640 He's basically Democrat. My husband also, But when I registered, 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:07.639 I registered at eighteen as a Republican, and all of 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.000 our children are Republicans. But now I'm an accountant and 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.240 my husband is an artist. But I was raised in 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:15.399 a military family. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:20.320 That's right. Well, you're you're explaining your own, your own situation. 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:21.560 I don't have to say a word. 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.439 I think you know you're all five of our children 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:25.359 are Republicans. 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:29.480 Now, how does so your husband votes liberal? 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.560 I he did, and even though you know, but in 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.560 this election he voted for McCain. 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:39.160 Can you know why? 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:43.600 Because he became a committed Christian and he felt it 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:44.480 was the right thing to do. 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:49.800 Oh, very interesting, very interesting. Well, but of course your 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.959 upbringing explains you a great deal. That's right. Look, there 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.560 are obviously a lot of women who do who are 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.600 not liberal in their views, but in general they are. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.280 And why they naturally grab take there is the subject 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.320 of this male female hour on the Dennis Prager Show. 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.800 This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:19.480 Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom. 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.760 Yes, Prager, it is hi. Everybody Dennis Prager in Ohio 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:30.480 Male Female Hour, and I'm tying it in with elections, 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.000 but it is very, very helpful even if this were 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.639 not the election season, it would be a very important 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:39.679 issue to raise. And by the way, for those of 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:41.320 you knew to the show or have not heard the 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:45.359 Male Female Hour before, I mean we talk very very 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:50.960 openly on this hour about marital issues, about man women issues, 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.440 about the differences between them sexually and in every other way. 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:58.440 I mean, it's an adult hour, folks on many occasions, 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:04.080 but today it is about this subject. Why why women 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:08.840 and men differ politically and in every poll, I mean, 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.720 we just know that they do. Now. There is a 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:16.240 difference when women get married, and especially married women with children, 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:19.800 then they tend to vote like more like men do, 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:25.320 less less liberal. And there are any number of reasons. 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.760 One of the most obvious, though, is that a single 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:31.840 woman is more likely to want to be protected. Women 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:35.600 want to be protected. It is about as primal and 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:41.560 urge as the desire of men for sex. Women want 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:47.000 security more than they want sex in the most primal 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:51.760 sense of their being. I mean that, and that's easily 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:57.280 provable because it continues well beyond the time that the 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:01.919 women may be even sexually act, there is still the 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:07.600 deep desire to be protected, to be secure. Now, I'm 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:10.760 not making judgments here. There's no better or worse. I mean, 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:14.040 there's a better or worse for politics, I believe. But 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:17.520 the instincts are not bad or good. They are what 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.960 they are. Male sexuality is not bad or good. It's 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.600 what men do with it. Women's desire to be protected 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:26.439 is not bad or good. It's what they do with it. 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:28.800 If they want to be protected by the state, I'm 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:30.840 not thrilled. If they want to be protected by a 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.720 good husband, that I am thrilled. I mean that's so, 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:41.280 it's all. It's all complex, but nevertheless clarifiable, which is 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:43.879 what I aim to do every day on the show, 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.320 is to make things as clear as possible. And here 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:50.280 you have a real difference. And that's why when a 0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:54.480 woman feels that she is secure in a marriage, then 0:22:55.520 --> 0:23:00.639 her natural thinking will not gravitate more or toward the 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.280 liberal side of a government that takes care of me. 0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:07.880 Because I have a family, and I have a husband 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:12.080 who does and I can rely on him. I don't 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:17.040 have to rely on the state. And that's why single 0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:23.760 women are by far the most dramatically different group in 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:27.760 terms of voting. Single women are the largest liberal vote. 0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:30.720 I'm not talking about ethnic or racial groups. I'm talking 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:37.280 about everything else. That is the most liberal group of all. 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:42.080 That has got to be a reason. And single men 0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:46.359 are not nearly as it's not single hood, because single 0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:50.000 men don't vote liberal nearly in the numbers that single 0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:54.520 women do. So that's almost your proof of at least 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.679 the theories that I am giving here, plus others that 0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:00.439 we heard. The nurturing one is excellent. Women do nurture. 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:03.240 By the way, the fact that women are more nurturing 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:05.960 can be can be seen in another way. They're far 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:09.960 more active in the animal rights movement. It's almost a 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:14.679 women's movement. In fact. They want to nurture animals, and 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:17.159 women who don't have children and a husband to nurture 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:22.520 will nurture an animal. Women want to nurture, and if 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:25.040 it's not going to be a human, then by golly, 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:27.480 it'll be an animal. And if it's not going to 0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:31.719 be an animal, it'll be an inanimate subject object. Uh. 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.399 There are too many stories now that I have heard, 0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:41.600 including from liberals who have given their daughters trains or trucks. 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:46.359 In other words, boys toys and they the little girls 0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:48.920 take care of them. They nurture the trucks, They give 0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:53.720 the trucks names. If that is not the best example 0:24:53.840 --> 0:25:00.719 you could you can hear of the instinctive nature of 0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:03.320 the female to nurture, then I don't know what is. 0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:07.520 I mean, boys crash trucks and girls give them names 0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:11.200 and take care of them, right, I mean, that's that's 0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:14.960 pretty dramatic, folks. That's why we have a Male Female 0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:17.840 Hour to help explain these differences between the two sexes. 0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:22.399 One to eight Praguer seven seven six more differences helping 0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:25.359 to explain the voting habits of men and women on 0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:33.280 the Male Female Hour on the Dennis Prager Show. Hi, everybody, 0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:36.960 you're listening to the Dennis Prager Show. And the point 0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:40.760 here is to explain to you on the Male Female 0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:45.080 Hour why women and men tend to vote differently, and 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:50.199 women more liberal, men more conservative, and the reasons are compelling, 0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:55.520 and I think the most dramatic example is how different 0:25:55.720 --> 0:26:00.560 single men and single women vote. Not the get more 0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:03.119 similar when women get married. All right, let's go to 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:07.440 some more of your calls and then I will uh, 0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:11.560 I will give you a summary of what we have 0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:18.760 thus far spoken about. And Walla, Walla, Washington, it's Shelley. Hi. 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:23.280 Shelley of Walla Walla. Dennis Prager, Hi, Hi, And. 0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:26.919 I you know, I just I agree that the women 0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:32.439 are you know, tend to obviously have the natural you know, 0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:37.159 being in them to want to nurture. But I know, 0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:41.160
