PUBLIC OPINION > Men Are Less Moral Than Women

A recent study published in Scientific American suggests that men are more likely than women to bend the rules a bit -- little white lies, omitting facts, cutting corners, that kind of thing. This can come into play in business settings, or in relationships. But we wanted to know how the public perceives gender morality. Does the general public really think men are less moral than women?
We don't need studies to determine that men are less moral -- more than two-thirds of the public already believes it. One commenter noted, "You only have to look at the current congressional male population to see that." It's true, politicians are much more likely to be male. Coincidence? We think not.
Women Are Convinced
We were hoping the gender breakdown would reveal an interesting dynamic, and we weren't disappointed. Men were actually split -- half of them agreed their gender was less moral, while the other half pointed to women. But the female vote was overwhelming. 85% of women think men are the more immoral gender.
Parents Are Even-Handed
Compared to voters who don't have kids, parents were relatively undecided. The majority still picked men, but not by much. It takes a lot of work to raise a child, and it takes two to get through it. Plus, babies have a tendency to soften hearts. So it's no wonder there's a little bit of shared moral responsibility among parents.
Singles Distrust Men
Married couples were also more likely to give men a break, probably for the same reason parents were -- they've had to work together. Singles, on the other hand, hardly gave men a chance. Nearly three-fourths said men are less moral. Interestingly, divorcees were one of the few demographics to vote for women over men.

"The great changes in the world, foretold in advance of My Second Coming, are about to unfold layer by layer.
The time for the imposters who will claim to come in My Name and to present themselves to the world is very close.
So many people will be fooled into believing these false prophets for they will announce themselves with great pomp.
But one among them will deceive many for he will present himself as the king, in a humble way, to convince people that he is I, Jesus Christ.
This man will tell the world he is the Messiah and he will be applauded by many leading world figureheads.
They will present him, first, as an extraordinary and compassionate political leader.
He will be seen as a talented peace-maker as I have told you. His airs and graces will display a mystical image which will seem to be of divine origin.
His handsome good looks and his tantalising personality will appeal to the masses.
He is to be revealed to the world soon and his appearance will be sudden.
Those leaders who will present him as a saviour, the man who will bring an end to war in the Middle East are respected in many parts of the world. This is why this false messiah will be accepted so easily.
After some time his appeal will spread. The media will praise his dip...

After some time his appeal will spread. The media will praise his diplomatic skills and his following will be large.
This is the man who will say he is the messiah. He will tell everyone that he is Jesus Christ, who has come back to announce his second coming.
He is the antichrist.
Do not be fooled for one moment. I, Jesus Christ, came in the flesh the first time to save humanity. But know this. I will not come in the flesh this time. I will come, as a thief in the night. I will prepare the world, through these messages, but I will not tell you the day or the hour for I do not know this. Only My Father knows of the time.
I will announce My Second Coming before the sign of My arrival which will appear in the skies all over the world.
Any man who claims to be Jesus Christ and who walks the earth as a man is a liar.
Run for he will bring untold misery and suffering. His deceit will lull souls into a false love of God. He will twist the Truth. Those who follow him are in great danger".

But, once we give our Loyalty, that's set in stone.
Until then, all's fair. :-D
Historically, we've had to be more 'flexible' than men to survive the Conquering Armies and such, to ensure the survival of our offspring.
(HUG)
There, that should say it. :-)
Words, sometimes, they just don't work, y'know?? :-)
I've admired Transsexuals always because of th sheer conviction and dedication to go through with remodelling the physicality to reflect the person within.
It always surprises me when others get freaky about it--then I get pissed when they start with nasty remarks, and I don't remain quiet, either. ;-) I told one guy once when he was tearing on Transsexuals that he was nothing more than a sad little Asexual longing for a valid sexual identity of his own. He shut up when he took a step towards me intent on slapping some sense into me and I stood up off the sofa--it was an interesting house party, to say the least. :-D
Because of my height (6'3) I get frequently taken for a Transsexual by ignorant jackasses of both genders.
Nice to meet you, and I like the name!! :-)
Yeah, he wasn't ready to tackle a woman taller than he was, pissed off and staring at him like a Leopard eyeing a mouse. Muttered 'I don't fight women' and wimped-off.
Translation: 'i don't fight women who'll fight back.' I think is what he meant.
TY for saying. :-)
I'll never forget the look on his face when I stood up!! LOL
You have testostione, just like me, Valeria la potra just a lighter version yet you have
two halfs of a same coin and can experine both sides. As a man i see you as a fellow man
and also as a man i treat you like i do my own kind.
I am a straight married man, and i have never hurt a woman.
But you are nether man nor woman reguardless of your affliation with woman. i can only see you as my kin.
I will say One thing that i know for sure.
"Humans fear what they don't understand."
You are human, thus you will understand that a man is just as human as a woman. We can't all be gulity of being who we are, be it natural or not.
We all have errors and flaws
We are equal just in opposite ways.
My first marriage was to a girl from TX, and a slutty girl but at 21 thats what a man wants. she got pregnat and 11 yr.s later a DNA test proved the baby wasnt mine. yet the Courts said after the divorce I still had to pay.
Admittedly on my own experiences, I voted they were. However that doesn't mean I immediately go "Oh, a guy. He probably has no manners and doesn't have his priorities straight because he has a penis."
On the contrary, I'm friends with MOSTLY men. I myself aren't the most moral person either, and I'm very tolerant overall.
Just because majority vote says men are, doesn't mean there aren't any immoral women. In fact, could females here say they were being immoral by voting for men as being the one with less moral?
MORAL-CEPTION.
