Once again I am in class. My friend, Texas, has a sports game on his ipad next to me. The
professor is telling us all about human performance and behavior. I think I
have this one down. So
I am spending time getting homework done that I missed last week when I was so
sick that I had to feel better just to die.
Tonight
I want to talk about voting with my vagina. CNN reported a study done by Kristina Durante at UTex, San
Anton. She looked at 275 women who
were not taking hormonal contraception and had regular menstrual cycles. About
55% were in committed relationships, including marriage. During the fertile
time of the month, when estrogen levels are higher, single women seems more
likely to vote for Obama while committed women appeared more likely to vote for
Romney, by a margin of at least 20%.
Yikes.
Durante
explains it like this: When women are ovulating, they "feel sexier,"
and therefore lean more toward liberal attitudes on abortion and marriage
equality. Married women have the same hormones, but tend to take the opposite
viewpoint on these issues, she says. So, the new slogan needs to be Sluts for
Obama.
You
know, first: why weren’t men’s
level of hormones looked at. When
was testosterone defined as conservative?
Why are women accused of voting with their enflamed vaginal areas, while
the penis remains in the pants?
And as long as we are looking liberal vs. conservative, why are we not
looking at the levels of testosterone of Romney and Obama to see the
differences?
Even if I am voting with my vagina,
so what? Does this meant that if I
vote with my vagina I want to be raped, like Murdouck says?
How come the idea of marriage
itself isn’t being looked at? And for God’s sake WHY is only Texas (dear GOD)
being examined in regards to this? That is, someone who is married in Texas may
have a whole different viewpoint of why rape is God’s plan then say, me.
So here it is, my hormones are just
fine, so is my brain. I am not
married. I don’t live in Texas,
and I don’t believe rape is anything but a crime. I think this research is flawed only in the explanation
being given for the findings. I
think I will vote with my genitalia. I am not sure that this is so wrong in the first lace, especially if it means that Stupid doesn’t
win.
