Are Conservative Women Happier than Liberal Women?

Freepers love to crow about how conservatives are happier than liberals. Suddenly, even the most dubious study becomes gospel truth. Add in the opportunity for some sexism, and you've got a thread extraordinarily dense with content - misogyny, projection, storytelling, its all here:

Lysandru:

Liberal women are usually angry.

Liberal men are usually angry and pussy whipped. No wonder they are most miserable.

upchuck knows exactly the analogy to use for a disagreeable women:

I’ve never met a Liberal woman that seemed happy most of the time. It’s like they’re having a mild menstrual cycle 24/7.

Sucks to be them.

rktman has seen no liberal women:

Have you ever seen a lib chick that wasn’t po’d about everything? LOL!

ronnie raygun calls liberal women men and liberal men women! Haw haw haw!

The masculine pant wearing semi hairy liberal women of coarse is not happier becuase her wimpey dress wearing suberviant husband is a better looking woman than she and is at a cross dressers party without her

ReaganÜberAlles for some reason doesn't just type "SLUTS"

Liberal women are easier, have more abortions, use more drugs, are more often single mothers and more often Lesbian.

I also like the caps for Lesbian.

HANG THE EXPENSE sees a picture of liberal politicians, so...

What a collection of ragged out bitches.

grey_whiskers smugly posts some cherry-picked pictures:

 

SamAdams76 knows a happy liberal, but she's rich:

I know a happy liberal woman too. She is married to a friend of mine who is conservative and makes her a lot of money so that she doesn't have to work and can devote all her free time to her "pet" causes. My friend just shrugs it off because he's too busy working to let it bother him much.

Ironically, her father is a businessman, likely conservative, who also did quite well and not only gave her a free four-year ride at an exclusive university but footed some $50,000 to give her a first class wedding. His reward is to have her embarrass him at family functions with all her talk about anti-capitalism and other leftist causes.

It's amazing how so many trust-funded liberal women have a "big Daddy" behind them to keep them in Volvos and expensive jewelry. They speak out against capitalism but they have no problem enjoying the spoils of it.

bray knows all about most liberal women:

Most Conservatives believe in God rather than some Oprah cult.

It's rare, but, I'm a bit ticked at this condescending post by Salvation, who seems like a really little person:

I can only address this from a lady at church that I know voted for Obama. She is riddled with dizzy sessions, can rarely drive safely, pretends to be happy, but complains that the doctors can’t figure her out.

On the other hand, I voted Republican, have my share of medical problems during the last two years, broken arm, plantar faciitis, broken foot interspersed with atrial fib.

But I am happy (do complain a bit to the Lord), but nevertheless accept his will for me. Who would have ever thought it?

"She always complains about her debilitating medical condition, unlike me *Lists all her medical problems*"

lentulusgracchus may have some history here...

If you listen to her she'll think you're weak. If you do what she wants without a fuss she'll think you're a slave. If you question her or disagree, you're a pig. If you walk away, you raped her and stole the best years of her life.

Naturally, all Freepers' exes are liberal.

lentulusgracchus then holds forth on the superlative hate of liberal women:

Why is this a surprise? Liberal, often dykey, women are the meanest, harshest, most hateful white people in America, and I include the Ku Klux Klan and the Covenanters in that.

You'd have to check Stormfront to find rhetoric over on the far, far right as harsh and vindictive as the average GLAAD or NARAL press release.

What's amazing is that Pew's Sociology Survey has discovered that those selfsame super-liberal (or, rather, "Prog" -- their "liberalism" has nothing in common with, say, Adlai Stevenson) women are the most-educated demographic they looked at. Lots of them have MA or even Ph.D. degrees. And relatively few of them have a man.

Blood of Tyrants projects quite a bit here:

Conservative of both sexes are happier than liberals. Liberals are unhappy because they believe that they are sacrificing to make the world a better place and the conservatives are trying to destroy everything they are doing.

Organic Panic also indulges in some high-quality projection:

It's impossible to be happy when you see your life at the mercy of evyil people who are out to get you. Perpetual self declared victims can never be happy. Even the most wealthy and privileged liberal sees themselves as the victim of something. They even invent things victimize them.

knarf has never read Free Republic:

Conservative have no angst, real or perceived about anything liberal women say they're concerned about.

i.e. ... liberal women rant and rave, fight and scrap for rights ... the rights of queers and chi'rin and schools and _____________ ... whatever.

Conservative women may have a smidgeon of angst about liberal women ... but ... maybe not.

Liberal women go to school and seminars and support groups to learn how to be liberal ... Conservative women live like they were reared and grew up ... it's just a natural way of life for a conservative.

Liberal women can be converted to conservatism, Conservative women are already right .. they need no conversion

Liberal women make frantic sex, Conservative women make love.

Frantic sex sounds kinda awesome...

Yaelle has a rather stepfordish explanation for why conservative women are never unhappy.

A conservative woman knows that whatever she wants to do and does is feminine because she is a woman, period. If she climbs a peak, knits a sweater, wins an Olympic gold medal, is a stay at home mom, whatever she wants, she has nothing to prove. She doesn’t feel she is a protected class. She is a woman and whatever she does, is what women do.

A conservative woman embraces the differences women have (most of the time - except for once a month, or peeing in the snow). She feels lucky to be able to carry a child in her body, and to dress up pretty, and to turn male heads. She’s also lucky to be able to surf, drive fast, command a board room, pick up a check, and still get to do the other stuff! She isn’t conflicted about it nor does she feel the need to study her gender for four years at a university.

A conservative woman doesn’t need to spend a lot of time regretting the children she aborted, hopefully.

A conservative woman enjoys her man. She enjoys him enjoying his rougher pleasures, football, hunting, whatever, even if she doesn’t partake with him. She doesn’t take him to malls to hang bags of clothes on him, she doesn’t dress him in pale pastels and make manscaping appointments for him. SHE DOESNT DRESS HIM IN A PLAID ONESIE. She likes him the way he is.

A conservative woman knows the planet isn’t in danger of being a “wrong” temperature, so she is happy going about her life. She gets involved in making the world a better place, but she also steps back from this work to enjoy her family. Her priorities are on straight.

She is happier than a liberal because she doesn’t need to seek out “leaders” to find out what to think. She doesn’t have to follow what other people are doing, even if a majority of her friends are doing it. She doesn’t care what movie actors say. She isn’t offended by differences of thought or opinion, because above and beyond all else, she loves freedom, so she welcomes any opinions or beliefs in order for her, too, to be free to espouse her own.

Be content in everything, forever. You may lack ambition, a sense of self, and indeed any will at all, but you'll be happy!
