[kittyno]

Maria Guadalupe, Associate Professor of Economics and Political Science at INSEAD wanted to know how perceptions would change if Trump and Clinton exchanged sexes.

Fascinating experiment:

this is interesting but what is left out of it is more interesting.. the social conditioning that creates women who become more reserved and careful with increasing authority and men who become more bombastic.

and i have to ask what it says about us as a society that we prefer bombastic regardless of sex?

personally.. i don’t think conditioning women to behave more like bombastic men is the answer.

Happy International Women’s Day. I have to pick up my new hearing aids today (and likely pay for them on the spot) and my car is in the shop and i will likely be picking it up today (and likely pay for it on the spot) but other than that if you see me out and about i will be taking the day off in my bright red sweater.

if i see you sporting red i promise to smile.

I think women on the whole are pretty aware of the conditioning–smile, smile, smile–men not so much, at least based on my conversations with them. It’s interesting that, when you add a layer of unfamiliarity, people are better able to both listen to what’s being said and see what tactics appeal or don’t. (I’m not sure if people prefer bombastic, but maybe we relate to a sense of passion in delivery.)

Well.. If Trump and Hillary switched genders there would be some basic differences right away.

1) Trump should be going to a Women’s prison rather than a Men’s prison.

2) Trump would need larger handcuff’s.

3) Hillary the man would be invited along with Bill to go out and pick up chicks together. A real boy’s club ! Bill wouldn’t have to sneak around any more.

4) Bill wouldn’t be visiting Hillary as often in a Men’s prison because he wouldn’t be able to hit on the guards. At least not as much

5) Oh yeah.. The picture wouldn’t have had the same impact with Hillary the ” Man ” posing with Vladimir Putin and their snazzy little ” Reset ” button. Ooop’s

Oh Yeah.. Somewhere there would be a Women’s pant suit manufacturer that would be Out of Business !

So.. Yes, there would be a few differences I see right off the bat.
