C.S. Lewis warned us,
We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.
Back in 2017, the Daily Wire published an interesting article along this same line of thought, drawing a correlation between male physical weakness and socialist tendencies. From the article:
An academic study from researchers at Brunel University London assessed 171 men, looking at their height, weight, overall physical strength and bicep circumference, along with their views on redistribution of wealth and income inequality. The study, published in the Evolution and Human Behavior journal, found that weaker men were more likely to favor socialist policies than stronger men.
While pretty much confirming what most of us already knew, of course, the article had to tie this concept into today’s leftist economic bugaboo, inequality.
Brunel University’s Michael Price believes this may be a product of evolutionary psychology.
“This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society,” said Dr. Price. “Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success. If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good.”
This is typical of what passes for ”thought” among leftists. Demeaning and degrading talent and achievement in order to make everyone the same is their modus operandi. Of course, making everyone the same will always result in everyone becoming dirt poor. No exceptions. I find it interesting that the article avoided the real conclusion. Weaker men tend to believe they have a right to the property that others have earned.
Steve Straub in the Federalist Papers, puts it more tongue in cheek.
“Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1. Liberals; and
2. Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q’s and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girliemen.
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the Jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.
Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn’t fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Most Conservatives drive 4wd vehicles and actually use them.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today’s lesson in world history: It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to **** them off.”
The point here is that like most good humor, this meme is based on truth. Liberal males do tend to be weaker and more effeminate. Just look at this picture.
That idea reached its peak in what was dubbed by Washington Post reporter, Chris Cillizza, as a “swing and a miss,” in a column entitled, Who Had the Worst Week in Washington? Pajama Boy. The graphic, dreamed up by the Obama Administration, was meant to encourage folks to sign up for ObamaCare, notably on a website that wouldn’t stop crashing. Instead, it became its own meme that defined the type of adult male who was still adolescent, still dependent on “Mommy,” now in the form of government, to take care of what real men handle routinely. It’s gotten worse. Now we have weak biological males getting hormone treatments and subjecting themselves to genital mutilation. They do this because they can’t compete with men, so they decide to cheat by forcing themselves via judicial mandates into women’s sports. This doesn’t do society any favors. I find it ironic that lately, women are now asking, “Where have all the men gone.” Gee, I wonder
