Over the course of the presidential election, one of Donald Trump’s common refrains—in addition to the ones about Hillary Clinton needing to be locked up and Mexicans being “rapists” and ”criminals”—was how much he respects women. “Nobody has more respect for women than Donald Trump,” he tweeted on March 26, 2016. “I have more respect for women than Hillary Clinton has,” he claimed on Fox News that January. “My daughter Ivanka always says, ‘Daddy, nobody respects women more than you, Daddy, what are they talking about?‘“ he said, disturbingly, at a May 2016 rally in Oregon. Perhaps Trump felt the need to repeatedly mention his respect for women to offset the vast body of evidence suggesting the opposite: that women exist only to become future ex-wives or to be unceremoniously grabbed when the mood strikes. (There is also a third category of woman, those too ugly to grope.)

All this was bad enough when Trump was a mere carnival barker with presidential aspirations. But now that he’s actually, improbably, occupying the White House, are his Trumpian ways rubbing off on his fellow Americans? Has the fact that Trump was elected despite bragging about grabbing women “by the pussy” emboldened men to drop the act of treating their fellow humans with respect and follow the president’s example? A study by Donald Trump’s alma mater suggests the answer is yes. Per the Knowledge @ Wharton blog (via Dealbreaker):

Wharton business economics and public policy professor Corinne Low and Wharton doctoral student Jennie Huang have been researching the differences in the communication styles of men and women, and how their tactics change depending on which gender they are negotiating with. Over a series of lab experiments, conducted before and after Election Day, they observed a striking result: post-election, study participants were less cooperative, more likely to use adversarial strategies, and less likely to reach an agreement with a partner. The effect was driven by an increase in men acting more aggressively toward women.

The lab sessions involved men and women, most of whom were Penn students, playing a “Battle of the Sexes” game in which they had to divide $20 with a partner. In some cases, participants were told the gender of their partner; in other cases, that information wasn’t provided. Each round had only two options for splitting the money: one partner would get $15, and the other would get $5, or vice versa; or, if they couldn’t agree, both would walk away with zero. Before the election, men were less likely to use aggressive negotiation tactics when they knew their partners were woman—a pattern that could be classified as chivalry or a kind of “benevolent sexism,” Low says. “This tells us that if women’s outcomes were dependent on men’s whims, those whims could change. We could see the turning of the tide, and suddenly men are more aggressive.”

1. here's one man that says

3. I know. But the self professed 'alpha males' are convinced they are in control and the whole

world secretly want to live under their rule. Funny because societies with alpha males who do want to pay taxes include Pakistan or places with alpha males who would rather be poor than cede any power to women (women empowered increase wealth in their communities) include afghanistan. I doubt they know this.
