Speaker 1: Life Audio on today's episode of Timeless Wisdom.
Speaker 2: Why is it that women tend to be more liberal
Speaker 2: in their politics than men?
Speaker 3: You were talking in the last segment. One of the
Speaker 3: comments that you made made me made me really think
Speaker 3: about something, and that was that, you know, generally women
Speaker 3: tend to look at things from the viewpoint of more
Speaker 3: individual and you know, yeah, how.
Speaker 2: Does that affect How does that affect me and my family?
Speaker 2: Go ahead?
Speaker 3: Well, right, and growing up, you know, in a family
Speaker 3: that has both of those points of view, you know,
Speaker 3: you're going to tend to absorb. I think you're going
Speaker 3: to tend to absorb the point of view of the
Speaker 3: people that raise you.
Speaker 1: That's coming up on Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager. Welcome
Speaker 1: to Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager. Here thousands of hours
Speaker 1: of Dennis's lectures courses in classic radio programs had to
Speaker 1: purchase Dennis Prager's rational by wells. Go to Dennisprager dot com.
Speaker 2: I am old fashioned. I like two sexes. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think all of a sudden, I don't like being
Speaker 4: married to one is known as a new woman.
Speaker 2: I want a wife, not a competitor, competator.
Speaker 1: Competitor talk about a bit, this crying in the morning thing.
Speaker 1: It's depression, you know, let's get that fixed.
Speaker 4: That's what men think, isn't it.
Speaker 5: What unless you've got the answer, unless you can say, oh,
Speaker 5: I know this bloke in the Essex road call fix
Speaker 5: that and there's no point bothering.
Speaker 6: How do you write women so well?
Speaker 7: I think of a man and I take away reason
Speaker 7: and accountability.
Speaker 8: I love him, I love him and I don't care
Speaker 8: what you think. I love him for the for the
Speaker 8: man he wants to be, and I love him for
Speaker 8: the man that he almost is.
Speaker 2: What do people have rows about him? Money? It's sex
Speaker 2: sex money he wants, she doesn't.
Speaker 1: Want, she wants, he doesn't want women. I've always been
Speaker 1: a big problem to met uspend.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, go on, gone.
Speaker 2: Hi everybody. This is Dennis Prager. Welcome to the Male
Speaker 2: Female Hour. Although it is right before the national election,
Speaker 2: we are having the male Female Hour, but I am
Speaker 2: tying it into the time in which we live, and
Speaker 2: then we will shortly, that is, within two weeks, go
Speaker 2: back to pure male female hour. But I'm not postponing it.
Speaker 2: It's still the male female Hour. And the issue today
Speaker 2: which does obviously strongly impinge on our nation's future, and
Speaker 2: on for that matter, on humanity future, but certainly our
Speaker 2: nations and on elections. Why is it that women tend
Speaker 2: to be more liberal in their politics than men? That's
Speaker 2: the question. Why, or if you wish to pose it
Speaker 2: the other way, why are male and less liberal in
Speaker 2: their politics than women are? And the issue here is
Speaker 2: not right or wrong that I do on all the
Speaker 2: other hours, this one. I mean, you all know where
Speaker 2: I stand. I would say ninety nine percent of you do.
Speaker 2: But that's not the point here. The point is to
Speaker 2: be as clarifying as possible. Again, keeping with my model,
Speaker 2: I prefer clarity to agreement. Let's try to figure out
Speaker 2: why it is that women tend to be more liberal
Speaker 2: in their politics. And I would like to offer some
Speaker 2: thoughts on this and then get your reactions. Simple as
Speaker 2: that well, not necessarily in order of importance, but absolutely
Speaker 2: tied for first with whatever else it is tied with,
Speaker 2: is the fact that women think when they think as women,
Speaker 2: in other words, when when they their natural tenets see
Speaker 2: is to think in terms of the micro more than
Speaker 2: the macro, the personal, the individual, rather than the broad
Speaker 2: social questions. That is, more masculine thinking more feminine thinking
Speaker 2: is the individual. And there's a great example that will
Speaker 2: give you a perfect understanding of this difference without taking
Speaker 2: any position on which is better or worse. I and
Speaker 2: the example is the study that I read about having
Speaker 2: men and women witness the same car crash. The women
Speaker 2: who witnessed the car crash were far more likely to
Speaker 2: focus on the suffering of those hurt in the crash
Speaker 2: when they gave their reports to reporters and police. The
Speaker 2: men were far more more likely to report who hit
Speaker 2: whom and how the crash took place. Now Here is
Speaker 2: a perfect example of where you need both feminine and
Speaker 2: masculine attitudes. It's one of my biggest beliefs in life
Speaker 2: is that we need the feminine the masculine. It's one
Speaker 2: of the reasons that I most believe that it is
Speaker 2: ideally that it's best for a child to have start
Speaker 2: out life with a mother and a father, to have
Speaker 2: this yin and yang, as they put it in Asia,
Speaker 2: in one's life. Now the woman, the woman's concentration on
Speaker 2: the suffering of the individuals and the car crash is
Speaker 2: critical for society's survival because somebody has to take care
Speaker 2: of these people and be preoccupied with the suffering of
Speaker 2: the individual. I mean, women are far more likely to
Speaker 2: hear the cries of the baby at night, not even cries,
Speaker 2: you know, when they turn over in their bed or
Speaker 2: their crib, and women marvel at us guys, being able
Speaker 2: to sleep through whatever the kid is going through. I mean,
Speaker 2: I can only imagine how many kids might die for
Speaker 2: that matter, if it was only the male ear that
Speaker 2: we could rely on. So there is clearly a balance
Speaker 2: here that if you believe is just the way evolution
Speaker 2: wanted it, If you believe, as I do, the way
Speaker 2: God made the world, that doesn't matter to me, but
Speaker 2: that's the way it is. The masculine and the feminine
Speaker 2: natural mode of thinking, they are just different with the
Speaker 2: male is more macro and the female is more micro.
Speaker 2: The individual that has a very very big impact. Remember,
Speaker 2: the subject of today's Male Female Hour is why are
Speaker 2: women more likely to be liberal voters than men are?
Speaker 2: Because the liberal politics, liberal social policy is very much
Speaker 2: geared toward the individual what will help that individual. Men
Speaker 2: are more likely to ask, or masculine thinking is more
Speaker 2: likely to ask what is better for society, whereas the
Speaker 2: women going to vote is more likely to ask what
Speaker 2: benefits me and my loved ones. That's the way now,
Speaker 2: whether they come to the right conclusions or not as
Speaker 2: a separate issue, but that is the way in which
Speaker 2: they think. Number two, so first is micro background. Number
Speaker 2: two is compassion versus standards and an idea that I
Speaker 2: have brought to your attention over the course of so
Speaker 2: much time. Women in thinking. And it doesn't mean men
Speaker 2: don't have feminine thinking. A lot of men have exactly
Speaker 2: this thinking, and a lot of women have masculine thinking
Speaker 2: on political subjects. But this is the natural way in
Speaker 2: which they will think. Women again, would be more compassion
Speaker 2: oriented in social policy, men more standards oriented. The I
Speaker 2: mean any number of examples. I'll give you two that
Speaker 2: I know you're familiar with if you've listened to me
Speaker 2: over the course of time at all. Same sex marriage
Speaker 2: is a great example where feminine thinking is how does
Speaker 2: this impinge upon the life of a gay person? Does
Speaker 2: it hurt them? Is it fair to them? Etc. Etc.
Speaker 2: The male masculine thinking is wait a minute, there is
Speaker 2: a standard for defining marriage, and that is man woman
Speaker 2: And that is the thing that society has to ask,
Speaker 2: how do we maintain the standard, rather than how does
Speaker 2: it affect every single given individual who happens to be
Speaker 2: gay and wants to get married? And so they are
Speaker 2: both coming from a good place, and they are both
Speaker 2: coming to opposite conclusions. Another compassion versus standards example, and
Speaker 2: they are all over the place, would be with regard
Speaker 2: to the mess we have had with regard to the
Speaker 2: housing market. Feminine thinking is compassion and therefore liberal, and
Speaker 2: that is, let's lower the standards for giving loans to
Speaker 2: poor people so that they can also have a house.
Speaker 2: We can't be so strict in our standards that we
Speaker 2: deny these people loans. So let's change and lower the
Speaker 2: standards so we can do that. The masculine is and
Speaker 2: the non liberal is. Hey, wait a minute, if we
Speaker 2: lower the standards for giving out loans, a lot more
Speaker 2: people are going to default on their homes and we
Speaker 2: will be in terrible shape. And so once again you
Speaker 2: have a liberal conservative feminine masculine difference one eight Prager
Speaker 2: seven seven six one eight p R. A. G. E
Speaker 2: Er seven seven six. Why women tend to be more
Speaker 2: liberal in their voting? Interestingly, of course, as you know,
Speaker 2: as women become married and have children, they do, they
Speaker 2: do become less liberal. The least liberal women in their
Speaker 2: politics I'm talking not in their personal lives. Are those
Speaker 2: who are married with children. Now that's that's in and
Speaker 2: of itself a story to be talked about, and we
Speaker 2: will talk about it. But in the meantime, I have
Speaker 2: been focusing. And then I will take your calls and
Speaker 2: we come back on two big ones macro versus micro
Speaker 2: men macro masculine macro feminine micro and the other one
Speaker 2: feminine compassion and masculine standards. One eight Praguer seven seven
Speaker 2: six is eight seven seven two four three triple seven six.
Speaker 2: This is the Male Female Hour on the Dennis Prager Show.
Speaker 2: Given the political season we're in, this is the topic
Speaker 2: that I have chosen. We have very intimate topics often
Speaker 2: on the Male Female Hour. We continue when I return.
Speaker 1: This episode of Timeless Wisdom. We'll continue right after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom.
Speaker 2: All right, to everybody. Dennis Prager here, Male Female Hour,
Speaker 2: talking to you in this electoral season, just a week
Speaker 2: before the elections, in fact, about the question of male
Speaker 2: female differences politically. Why are women more liberal than men
Speaker 2: in their voting habits, and in their outlook. And I've
Speaker 2: given two reasons why masculine and feminine thinking are different.
Speaker 2: Masculine macro feminine, micro masculine standards, feminine compassion. These are generalizations.
Speaker 2: And for those of you who went to college and
Speaker 2: were taught not to think clearly and therefore to reject
Speaker 2: all generalizations, please understand that generalizations are the only way
Speaker 2: to understand the world. They may be wrong, any given
Speaker 2: generalization just may be wrong, but the idea of generalizations
Speaker 2: is a very important one, and I believe that these
Speaker 2: generalizations are true. Secondly, for all generalizations are just that
Speaker 2: there are surely women who have a more masculine thinking
Speaker 2: in these matters and men with feminine thinking. Otherwise there
Speaker 2: would be no male liberals and no female conservatives. Obviously,
Speaker 2: but these are very big factors. They are not the
Speaker 2: only ones, as we will see from our callers. One
Speaker 2: A prager seven seven six. And let's see here, it's
Speaker 2: an interesting question from here in Ohio where I am today,
Speaker 2: and that is Adrian in Mentor, Ohio. How you enjoying
Speaker 2: the weather?
Speaker 3: Hi? Hi, Dennis. I'm doing all right. A little bit
Speaker 3: chilly today.
Speaker 2: Well, a little bit chilly. I mean it was hailing
Speaker 2: when I walked into the studio. Anyway, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: It's warmer than seventeen degrees.
Speaker 2: So you're right, you see, it's everything. This is truly
Speaker 2: an example of everything is relative. When you come from
Speaker 2: southern California, this is like the Arctic, but for you,
Speaker 2: it's a it's it's a bombing day, all right, go.
Speaker 3: Ahead, okay. When you were you were talking in the
Speaker 3: last segment, one of the comments that you made made
Speaker 3: me made me really think about something, and that was that,
Speaker 3: you know, generally women tend to look at things from
Speaker 3: the viewpoint of more individual and you know, how.
Speaker 2: Does that affect how does it affect me and my family?
Speaker 2: Go ahead?
Speaker 3: Well, right, and growing up, you know, in a family
Speaker 3: that has both of those points of view, you know
Speaker 3: you're gonna tend to absorb. I think you're gonna tend
Speaker 3: to absorb the point of view of the people that
Speaker 3: raise you. So in light of that and thinking about
Speaker 3: things in a larger context as I do because I'm
Speaker 3: a man, how does how does that affect those those
Speaker 3: men or those boys that grow up with no father
Speaker 3: in their lives. You know, in that situation that's right.
Speaker 2: It's a very good question. And I would not be
Speaker 2: surprised if the greater number of liberal men uh is
Speaker 2: related to the greater number of males being raised without
Speaker 2: a dad.
Speaker 3: And then that's that feeds back also into you know,
Speaker 3: there are particular populations that that tend to vote in
Speaker 3: a particular direction, and that's been true for some time.
Speaker 3: I would I would be interested in in understanding how
Speaker 3: big a part that plays in in their political views.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think your point is extremely well taken. It's
Speaker 2: not one that I had immediately thought of, and I
Speaker 2: agree with you. It's certainly it's certainly intuitive. Of course,
Speaker 2: if you're raised by a mother only, uh and uh,
Speaker 2: and there's no strong masculine influence in your life, then
Speaker 2: where will you where will you get your conservative or
Speaker 2: nonliberal values from? That's right. And by the way, this
Speaker 2: this is again I'm trying to be as non judging
Speaker 2: as possible this hour. This is truly just clarifying you
Speaker 2: know where my own inclinations are. But I don't think
Speaker 2: that that's necessarily a factor in your receiving what I'm
Speaker 2: saying is as pretty valid. Alrighty, let's uh, let's go
Speaker 2: to more of your theories on this. Aaron in Eden, Prairie,
Speaker 2: Minnesota High Dennis Praeger.
Speaker 9: Hi, Dennis, thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 9: My husband and I were at Orchestra Hall last night.
Speaker 2: It was a great event, oh wasn't it. I wish
Speaker 2: a lot of I wish a lot of reporters who
Speaker 2: make up this nonsense about hate hate at McCain Palin
Speaker 2: rallies would have seen how the three thousand people were
Speaker 2: behaving well.
Speaker 9: And everybody's saying God bless America. And I mean it
Speaker 9: was very patriotic. So I mean for anybody to say
Speaker 9: anything like that is kind of silly, really, yep. But
Speaker 9: I was calling because I think that a big part
Speaker 9: of what it comes down to is women are more
Speaker 9: emotional and are nurtures by nature, and so women have this,
Speaker 9: you know, kind of innate feeling that they need to
Speaker 9: take care of everyone, and so instead of looking to
Speaker 9: solve the actual problem that's making people unhappy or deal
Speaker 9: with financial issues or whatnot, they think of as kind
Speaker 9: of that short term fix, you know, like something's wrong,
Speaker 9: so let's go shopping and make usselve happy. I think
Speaker 9: women tend to do that in a lot of aspects
Speaker 9: of life. And so when they see all these issues
Speaker 9: in society that they think that they can go out
Speaker 9: and cure the world kind of instead of finding what
Speaker 9: the problem is.
Speaker 2: In six well, well you're let me go in a
Speaker 2: slightly different direction because I agree with your first premise totally,
Speaker 2: and that is the more nurturing female. And what she
Speaker 2: does is she translates her family life or her nurtureing
Speaker 2: life into government life, so that just as I nurture,
Speaker 2: I want the state to nurture. Yeah, okay, wonderful wonderfully said,
Speaker 2: that's that's a great point. I I take care of
Speaker 2: those I love. Why doesn't the state take care of
Speaker 2: those it loves? That's really good and and that's exactly right.
Speaker 2: It's like a law. And that's why this family rhetoric
Speaker 2: that is very common on the liberal side, well, it's
Speaker 2: all we're all one big family and uh and and
Speaker 2: really does take over that rhetoric. We will take care
Speaker 2: of you, just as you take care of those you love. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's a good one. Tampa, Florida, Marianne Hello, mary Anne.
Speaker 6: Dennis Praeger Hello, I'm I'm a mother of five children,
Speaker 6: and I was raised in South Louisiam, which was all.
Speaker 6: He's basically Democrat. My husband also, But when I registered,
Speaker 6: I registered at eighteen as a Republican, and all of
Speaker 6: our children are Republicans. But now I'm an accountant and
Speaker 6: my husband is an artist. But I was raised in
Speaker 6: a military family.
Speaker 2: That's right. Well, you're you're explaining your own, your own situation.
Speaker 2: I don't have to say a word.
Speaker 6: I think you know you're all five of our children
Speaker 6: are Republicans.
Speaker 2: Now, how does so your husband votes liberal?
Speaker 6: I he did, and even though you know, but in
Speaker 6: this election he voted for McCain.
Speaker 2: Can you know why?
Speaker 6: Because he became a committed Christian and he felt it
Speaker 6: was the right thing to do.
Speaker 2: Oh, very interesting, very interesting. Well, but of course your
Speaker 2: upbringing explains you a great deal. That's right. Look, there
Speaker 2: are obviously a lot of women who do who are
Speaker 2: not liberal in their views, but in general they are.
Speaker 2: And why they naturally grab take there is the subject
Speaker 2: of this male female hour on the Dennis Prager Show.
Speaker 1: This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom.
Speaker 2: Yes, Prager, it is hi. Everybody Dennis Prager in Ohio
Speaker 2: Male Female Hour, and I'm tying it in with elections,
Speaker 2: but it is very, very helpful even if this were
Speaker 2: not the election season, it would be a very important
Speaker 2: issue to raise. And by the way, for those of
Speaker 2: you knew to the show or have not heard the
Speaker 2: Male Female Hour before, I mean we talk very very
Speaker 2: openly on this hour about marital issues, about man women issues,
Speaker 2: about the differences between them sexually and in every other way.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's an adult hour, folks on many occasions,
Speaker 2: but today it is about this subject. Why why women
Speaker 2: and men differ politically and in every poll, I mean,
Speaker 2: we just know that they do. Now. There is a
Speaker 2: difference when women get married, and especially married women with children,
Speaker 2: then they tend to vote like more like men do,
Speaker 2: less less liberal. And there are any number of reasons.
Speaker 2: One of the most obvious, though, is that a single
Speaker 2: woman is more likely to want to be protected. Women
Speaker 2: want to be protected. It is about as primal and
Speaker 2: urge as the desire of men for sex. Women want
Speaker 2: security more than they want sex in the most primal
Speaker 2: sense of their being. I mean that, and that's easily
Speaker 2: provable because it continues well beyond the time that the
Speaker 2: women may be even sexually act, there is still the
Speaker 2: deep desire to be protected, to be secure. Now, I'm
Speaker 2: not making judgments here. There's no better or worse. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's a better or worse for politics, I believe. But
Speaker 2: the instincts are not bad or good. They are what
Speaker 2: they are. Male sexuality is not bad or good. It's
Speaker 2: what men do with it. Women's desire to be protected
Speaker 2: is not bad or good. It's what they do with it.
Speaker 2: If they want to be protected by the state, I'm
Speaker 2: not thrilled. If they want to be protected by a
Speaker 2: good husband, that I am thrilled. I mean that's so,
Speaker 2: it's all. It's all complex, but nevertheless clarifiable, which is
Speaker 2: what I aim to do every day on the show,
Speaker 2: is to make things as clear as possible. And here
Speaker 2: you have a real difference. And that's why when a
Speaker 2: woman feels that she is secure in a marriage, then
Speaker 2: her natural thinking will not gravitate more or toward the
Speaker 2: liberal side of a government that takes care of me.
Speaker 2: Because I have a family, and I have a husband
Speaker 2: who does and I can rely on him. I don't
Speaker 2: have to rely on the state. And that's why single
Speaker 2: women are by far the most dramatically different group in
Speaker 2: terms of voting. Single women are the largest liberal vote.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about ethnic or racial groups. I'm talking
Speaker 2: about everything else. That is the most liberal group of all.
Speaker 2: That has got to be a reason. And single men
Speaker 2: are not nearly as it's not single hood, because single
Speaker 2: men don't vote liberal nearly in the numbers that single
Speaker 2: women do. So that's almost your proof of at least
Speaker 2: the theories that I am giving here, plus others that
Speaker 2: we heard. The nurturing one is excellent. Women do nurture.
Speaker 2: By the way, the fact that women are more nurturing
Speaker 2: can be can be seen in another way. They're far
Speaker 2: more active in the animal rights movement. It's almost a
Speaker 2: women's movement. In fact. They want to nurture animals, and
Speaker 2: women who don't have children and a husband to nurture
Speaker 2: will nurture an animal. Women want to nurture, and if
Speaker 2: it's not going to be a human, then by golly,
Speaker 2: it'll be an animal. And if it's not going to
Speaker 2: be an animal, it'll be an inanimate subject object. Uh.
Speaker 2: There are too many stories now that I have heard,
Speaker 2: including from liberals who have given their daughters trains or trucks.
Speaker 2: In other words, boys toys and they the little girls
Speaker 2: take care of them. They nurture the trucks, They give
Speaker 2: the trucks names. If that is not the best example
Speaker 2: you could you can hear of the instinctive nature of
Speaker 2: the female to nurture, then I don't know what is.
Speaker 2: I mean, boys crash trucks and girls give them names
Speaker 2: and take care of them, right, I mean, that's that's
Speaker 2: pretty dramatic, folks. That's why we have a Male Female
Speaker 2: Hour to help explain these differences between the two sexes.
Speaker 2: One to eight Praguer seven seven six more differences helping
Speaker 2: to explain the voting habits of men and women on
Speaker 2: the Male Female Hour on the Dennis Prager Show. Hi, everybody,
Speaker 2: you're listening to the Dennis Prager Show. And the point
Speaker 2: here is to explain to you on the Male Female
Speaker 2: Hour why women and men tend to vote differently, and
Speaker 2: women more liberal, men more conservative, and the reasons are compelling,
Speaker 2: and I think the most dramatic example is how different
Speaker 2: single men and single women vote. Not the get more
Speaker 2: similar when women get married. All right, let's go to
Speaker 2: some more of your calls and then I will uh,
Speaker 2: I will give you a summary of what we have
Speaker 2: thus far spoken about. And Walla, Walla, Washington, it's Shelley. Hi.
Speaker 2: Shelley of Walla Walla. Dennis Prager, Hi, Hi, And.
Speaker 8: I you know, I just I agree that the women
Speaker 8: are you know, tend to obviously have the natural you know,
Speaker 8: being in them to want to nurture. But I know,
Speaker 8: as a mom of three, uh, no one can can
Speaker 8: raise my kids and nurture my kids better than I can.
Speaker 8: And for us to, I feel like our society has
Speaker 8: gotten to a point where we just you know, we
Speaker 8: believe that, I don't know, we've bought into this whole
Speaker 8: thing that the government can do just as good, if
Speaker 8: not better, of a job than we can to raise
Speaker 8: our kids. Which I think it's a lie we've bought into.
Speaker 8: I don't think, you know, dacres and preschools can do
Speaker 8: as good of a job.
Speaker 4: As a mom.
Speaker 8: But you know, it's something that you know, I think
Speaker 8: that we bought into as a society.
Speaker 2: Well, I couldn't agree with you more. Of course you
Speaker 2: are a classic though I assume you're religious. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: well you're religious, you're married, you have children, you don't
Speaker 2: live in a major urban center. I mean you are,
Speaker 2: but you are a living demographic.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I you know, I just think that, you know,
Speaker 8: and you know, I actually homeschool my children too, which
Speaker 8: is you know, but even if I chose to put
Speaker 8: my children in public school, which well, actually my older
Speaker 8: daughter goes to public school. You know, I've always told
Speaker 8: people it's not the school that raises my kids. I
Speaker 8: raise my kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, but but increasingly we want the state to
Speaker 2: educate and raise our children. And now the with preschool eduction,
Speaker 2: the idea is to make this universal and paid for
Speaker 2: by government. The state will raise your children from the
Speaker 2: age of four three is it now? Three? Yeah? You know,
Speaker 2: soon we'll have neonatal education. I thank you, Shelly. This
Speaker 2: is fascinating. You know, I always find this well, look,
Speaker 2: I don't want to get into politics, so I'll be
Speaker 2: very brief on this. This is the male female hour,
Speaker 2: so I tend not to go politically. But the generation
Speaker 2: that itself did not have preschool or whatever it's called
Speaker 2: education wants the next generation to have it. Do we
Speaker 2: think we're stupider for not having it? I mean, I
Speaker 2: didn't go to school till I was five. It's astonishing
Speaker 2: that I love to read, and I love to think,
Speaker 2: and I and I and I love to engage an
Speaker 2: intellectual discourse. And I I think I have a pretty
Speaker 2: good mind. How did that happen? Oh? And even more
Speaker 2: compelling evidence against my having a possible intellectually oriented mind
Speaker 2: is the fact that I was bottle fed. Oh there
Speaker 2: were too many What is this? I always have this
Speaker 2: vision of being it? What is that vision of the
Speaker 2: cave where the snakes keep coming out? You keep killing
Speaker 2: the snakes, and there for every snake you kill, another
Speaker 2: one comes out. You ever have that? It's not a
Speaker 2: platonic vision. I don't I don't know whose vision it is,
Speaker 2: but I just there were there, you know, there were
Speaker 2: too many things coming out of too many holes in
Speaker 2: the cave. You can't battle them all. It seems, I mean,
Speaker 2: so much nonsense that goes out there. What kids need?
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to some more about about these
Speaker 2: differences between the two sexes. Let's go to Atlanta, Georgia
Speaker 2: and Milt. Hello, Milt, Dennis Praeger, How are you doing?
Speaker 4: Dennis?
Speaker 2: Great?
Speaker 5: Thanks Listen.
Speaker 4: I tell people that you and my radio REBBI and so,
Speaker 4: and I'm constantly trying to push you onto other people.
Speaker 4: So when your your ratings tick up, it's due to.
Speaker 2: Me, Milt. I tell you this. When I come to
Speaker 2: Atlanta and we're working on a on a visit there,
Speaker 2: I want to meet you.
Speaker 4: I would I would love to, I would love thank you.
Speaker 4: You're my idol. Well, listen, I will tell you this
Speaker 4: one thing that I've noticed. I'm a black conservative here
Speaker 4: in Georgia, and I was raised Democrat, and one thing
Speaker 4: I've noticed is that the black electorate tends to vote
Speaker 4: in a way that aligns with female thinking, that whole
Speaker 4: nurturing on an individual basis, emoting versus thinking.
Speaker 2: And what percentage of blacks were raised by moms without dads.
Speaker 4: Well, arguably there's a there's a greater percentage of them.
Speaker 2: That's right, mate, And who knows if that isn't related.
Speaker 2: A caller earlier exactly made this point.
Speaker 4: Absolutely and oddity about that as I have an aunt
Speaker 4: who raised her kids. She was unmarried and she had
Speaker 4: mostly males one daughter. But oddly enough, they're more conservative
Speaker 4: than liberal.
Speaker 2: And well it is odd you're right.
Speaker 4: And before I get out of the court, wait.
Speaker 2: Before you leave, let me ask you a question. When
Speaker 2: you say black conservative, does that translate into your vote
Speaker 2: next Tuesday as well.
Speaker 9: Oh.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And I would like to share with you just
Speaker 4: quickly why I became a conservative versus a Democrat. Yes,
Speaker 4: it dawn on me when I was going through a
Speaker 4: primary once, I think it was the first Bush campaign,
Speaker 4: And as I walked into the polls and I was
Speaker 4: approaching the table to get my ballot, they were automatically
Speaker 4: shelving me the blue ballot the Democratic ballot before I
Speaker 4: even walk up to them, And I said, I came
Speaker 4: home and told my wife, I said, you know, I
Speaker 4: was just as insulted as if they'd asked me if
Speaker 4: I wanted watermelon and chicken with that ballad. And it
Speaker 4: became very clear to me then that most people think
Speaker 4: the black electorate does not think.
Speaker 2: And Milt, Milt, I'm not kidding. If I don't meet
Speaker 2: you on my next trip to Atlanta, I will not
Speaker 2: have considered it a success. I would love all right,
Speaker 2: you send me an email. I love that black conservative
Speaker 2: tells me I'm his radio rebe only in America. I
Speaker 2: always praise America when I hear such things. We'll be
Speaker 2: back in a moment. Final segment of The Male Female
Speaker 2: Hour coming up.
Speaker 1: This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Fragor's Timeless Wisdom.
Speaker 5: I could memorize them. I'm not good at memorizing lyrics. Hence,
Speaker 5: I don't know if you picked up Allen's snide comment
Speaker 5: to me that even I could memorize the limics. The
Speaker 5: limics you say goodbye and I say hello, I still
Speaker 5: forget it by next week.
Speaker 2: I would. I just know it now. If you gave
Speaker 2: me seven arguments why whatever it is, why Senator so
Speaker 2: and so should be re elected in New Mexico or whatever,
Speaker 2: I would know them next week. But one bloody line
Speaker 2: of lyric I don't think I would. From w HK
Speaker 2: in Cleveland. This is Dennis Prager Male Female Hour, which
Speaker 2: I so enjoy talking about how men and women relate
Speaker 2: to one another. And I'll tell you this, folks, I
Speaker 2: have deep, deep, deep, deep, deep convictions about whom I
Speaker 2: want to win the elections for reasons that I've articulating
Speaker 2: and writing for years. But one thing I can tell you,
Speaker 2: and Democrat or Republican, I think a lot of us
Speaker 2: are looking forward to actually being able to talk about
Speaker 2: other subjects. And I have tried to a certain extent,
Speaker 2: but obviously that the dominance of politics is inevitable in
Speaker 2: an election year. Just it shouldn't be a year, it
Speaker 2: should be an election half year, all right. In any event,
Speaker 2: we're talking about why women more liberal than men in
Speaker 2: their voting, And let me review what we've had here
Speaker 2: and then summarize some of your calls, So please do
Speaker 2: not hang up. First, men think in macro terms. Women
Speaker 2: think in micro terms what's better for me and my family,
Speaker 2: and men will more likely ask what's better for society.
Speaker 2: And it sounds like I'm saying men are better. I'm
Speaker 2: not saying men are better. I prefer the masculine vision
Speaker 2: on voting. But thank God for women's preoccupation with their families,
Speaker 2: masculine standards, feminine compassion. There's an immediate immediate sense there
Speaker 2: of where men and women are likely or masculine and
Speaker 2: feminine thinking are likely to vere. Then females are more nurturing,
Speaker 2: they want and just as they nurture, they want the
Speaker 2: state to nurture. Females are more security oriented, men more
Speaker 2: liberty oriented. Now, let's see Lisa in Iowa. Women think
Speaker 2: more in the micro but I do not it's lonely
Speaker 2: being a woman and having that attitude. Man, would I
Speaker 2: like to talk to you, Lisa, call me third hour
Speaker 2: on Friday, will you. I'm very, very desirous of talking
Speaker 2: to you about that. Catherine in Seattle, socialism appeals to
Speaker 2: women and now coincides with women voting Welford. But the
Speaker 2: question is why, and we've given those reasons. And let's
Speaker 2: see here in Castle Rock, Colorado, women have instincts to nurture. Yes,
Speaker 2: that is, and they transferred to politics Bill as a
Speaker 2: great col In Houston on the biblical perspective, Jamie and Stockton,
Speaker 2: single women are more liberal because they tend to take
Speaker 2: their role of being a caretaker. Well said my friends,
Speaker 2: well said, Now think about what's better for society, masculine
Speaker 2: or feminine thinking. We return on the Dennis Prager.
Speaker 1: Show tomorrow on Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager.
Speaker 4: You know, when I think about my stuff, I think.
Speaker 7: In terms of Ecclesiastes. There's nothing new under the sun.
Speaker 7: I'm just a guy who's articulating timeless principles, one of
Speaker 7: which is that denial self denial is good for the soul,
Speaker 7: and a child learns to deny himself by being denied.
Speaker 7: And the very unfortunate thing is that today's parents don't
Speaker 7: deny vitamin end, being no the most character building a
Speaker 7: two letter word in the English language, and today's kids
Speaker 7: are not being denied the temper tantrums that young people
Speaker 7: are throwing all over America because what they wanted to
Speaker 7: happen didn't happen.
