Three interesting findings
1. In 1960, five percent of U.S. children were born to unwed mothers. Today, the number is more than forty percent. (source).
2. More than half of aspiring athletes would be willing to take a drug that would kill them in 5 years in exchange for winning every competition. Fourteen percent of elite performers would accept a fatal cardiovascular condition in exchange for an Olympic gold medal. (source).
3. More physically attractive women are disproportionately targets of aggression from other women. In one study on adolescent females and males, attractiveness increased females’ odds of incurring same-sex aggression by 35 percent and decreased males’ by 25 percent. (source).
Same-sex aggression is a beast. More on this please. Trying to decode what’s happing amongst mom cliques in my daughter’s elementary school. HELP!
According to the Democrat left, which is primarily controlled by educated feminists these days, you are not privileged with a higher level of education and upper class family finances if you are female, black, brown, or LGBTQ?????. But if a conservative male in any economic class, you are privileged.
I do agree with part of that... if you not one of the Democrat left that believes this crap, you are privileged to be less insane.
