Why Are Women More Liberal than Men?

October 30
~Of course, there are many conservative women and liberal men, but as a general rule, men tend to be more conservative and women more liberal. Dennis asks why.
~Dennis speculates:
1. masculine thinking is macro- broad and general. (Ex: a car crash- what, where, how)
feminine thinking is more micro- individually focused. (Ex: a car crash- who)
Both ways of thinking are needed.
2. Compassion vs Standards.
Women are more compassion oriented,
vs Men who are more standards oriented.
~Caller says: women are more emotional, and that's why they sympathies with individual stories and problems. And since the woman is a nurturer who cares for others, they also want the State to take care of others.
