Who's Less Moral, Men or Women?

Women are still lagging behind men in at least one area ... rule-breaking. According to recent studies, men have lower moral standards than women, especially when they have to defend their manhood, Scientific American reports.
men women moral
Studies show that men are more likely than women to minimize the consequences of moral misconduct; to adopt ethically questionable tactics in strategic endeavors; and to engage in greater deceit, Scientific American reports. In other words, whether you're engaging in a business deal or choosing a life partner, you might be better off trusting a woman.

Guys are especially likely to be "immoral" in when success means proving their masculinity -- and yes, the workplace and the playing field both come to mind. But we have to wonder: Are guys more likely to engage in this sort of behavior because they're still more likely to be competing in these arenas than women? Or are men intrinsically more immoral? What do you think?

    Having been the husband of a cheating wife means that is just my experience. YMMV. (This is really a silly poll)

    This must be the most sexist question I have seen yet...

    Truly, I think that men might be more immoral, although I personally, despite being male, would never have cared whether I was male, female or homosexual. It just does not really matter...

    Men still seem to be worse but when it comes to the law and death penalty juries NEVER equally give death sentences to women for murder at least in Texas.

    I think women tend to get off of the death penalty due to the insanity plea, the "Twinkie" effect, or blaming it on hormones run amok. Not fair, but there you have it. Men & women are pretty much equal, though, when it comes to immorality. Women tend to do a lot more gossiping, maligning, & lying, & are excellent at getting pregnant to get on welfare, & they are complicit in many bank robberies, internet scams, money laundering, etc. They steal babies, backstab their fellow employees, stir up trouble when it was unnecessary, become prostitutes, cheat on their boyfriends & husbands, & on & on.

    I think men & women are pretty much equal when it comes to immorality.

    I love the fact that 85% of the people responded to this were women...is it really surprising that only 15% of women would say "women"?

    If you'll read the comments that most women are making, they're saying it's about equal. There was no answer that addressed equality.

    If Eve hadn't AGREED to Satan's ploy, YOU wouldn't be here. Children could not have been born UNLESS Eve AND Adam hadn't realized that they HAD to eat of the fruit, so that "man might be."

    ...and if by "here" you mean a fallen world, than sir you are absolutely correct. God uses every situation to his grace and to fulfill his plan, even when people use free will to go against his will.

    "If God is willing to prevent evil, but not able?
    Then he is not omnipotent.
    Is he able, but not willing?
    Then he is malevolent.
    Is he both able, and willing?
    Then whence cometh evil?
    Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God?"

    ~ Epicurus, 33 A.D.

    Sorry, that's wrong.

    God uses every free will decision in the fulfillment of his plan. Second, when you can provide internalized feedback of your own instead of recycled antithetical quotes then we can begin a conversation.

    ...tell me brother, what evidence beyond the Zeitgeist movies do you have that this is what occurred? Second, if that is how you feel why did you select "Christian" as your faith perspective on your profile?

    because that's how i was raised, and that's what I put on my profile. big deal. you don't have to watch the zeitgeist movies to figure out what the catholic church stole ideas from local religions in order to convert the population without seriously disrupting their lives. just do some research. read a book. major holidays fall on the winter solstice and other astronomical events. older religions have evidence of ridiculously similar mythologies. open your eyes.

    You say "big deal", but it is...you can only be a Christian if you believe in your heart and confess with your lips that Christ Jesus is Lord (Rom 10:9), you do not inherit Christianity and you do not come to your faith because of how you were raised, those are merely seeds which have to grow on their own within you.

    My eyes are wide open, as is my heart, my soul and my life...to the one true King and Savior Jesus. Again, you take content from a wildly outrageous film and attempt to present it as your own information and "knowledge". As it happens brother, I've done more research on the subject than anyone you've ever met...I don't take the field of Christian Apologetics lightly and I certainly don't take the authenticity of my Savior (and yours too if you choose him to be) lightly either.

    Grace to you, Glory to God!

    You're not a Christian, then, from what you're saying. Unlike other religions, people are not born into Christianity. It is a choice that each person must make on their own. btw, the Roman Catholic Church is NOT "Christian". It is an evil religion.

    You obviously know nothing about the Bible but what you've heard from other anti-theists. Try reading it for once & stop buying into others' lies & propaganda. It will make you a better man.

    i started to read it a while ago, but never finished it. i don't like the writing style. i feel like it's propaganda written 2,000 years ago by people who used religion to explain what they couldn't understand. sure, it has some truths in it, but overall, i accept science before religion. you can prove science, and people, not a god, wrote and edited the bible.

    That translates to me that you didn't understand the Bible, so abandoned it. That's okay, it happens to better people than yourself. Did you know that I hold a doctorate degree in the "sciences"? Yep, & I'm also a woman of faith. Go figure. Neither of them contradicts the other. God created it & man "discovers" what God created through "science". What's so difficult about that? Your last sentence sounds like something you got from an anti-theist source & you're just parroting. I don't think you've ever done any serious study on the subject at all. Your choice, of course.

    What Eve did was not immoral. She was deceived, but she did tell the truth; however, Adam knew what he was doing & did it anyway, & then he blamed Eve. This has been the behavior of men & women ever since. They both are equally immoral, however, if you consider all immoral acts, including gossiping, maligning, jealousy, anger, hate, lying, & sex outside of marriage.

    M Aronson, your absolute certainty in your own sexist claims and this ridiculing of an opinion because it doesn't agree with yours shows the low level of your own moral fibre.

    Let's just say "moral" in the loosest sense of the word - it's not "morally right" to curse or spit or get drunk in public - but you'd see more men do those things than women. On the same token women tend to "gossip" in private with their female friends or their spouses about the neighbors or other family members more often than they would in public. That's just the loosest sense of the word, and I think that's a good analogy.

    True but there are many moral questions that do not involve crime.
