<\/p>\nRUSH: There\u2019s a fascinating new study out that says Democrat women are more likely to look like men. Now, I have suspected this for many moons. In fact, I\u2019ve gotten close to the edge — the bounds of proprietary — in commenting on such things over the years on this program, but it\u2019s a story from BuzzFeed. “Can You Tell a Woman\u2019s Politics By Looking At Her Face?” and I have long held that you can.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“[P]sychologists Colleen Carpinella and Kerri Johnson gave undergraduates at UCLA for a study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. The undergrads were significantly better at guessing than would be expected by chance, and they were especially accurate with women. The likely reason, according to the study,” why the UCLA students were able to identify Democrat versus Republican women by looking at \u2019em is…<\/p>\n
“Republican women are more likely than Democratic ones to have stereotypically feminine facial features.” Republican women look more feminine than Democrat women. That\u2019s from a UCLA study. This is not El Rushbo saying it. It\u2019s from a UCLA study where the two scientists conducted the study and had students take the tests. “In another experiment, Carpinella and Johnson used a computer program to measure how ‘sex-typical\u2019 the faces of male and female Representatives were, looking at characteristics like jaw shape, lip fullness, and cheekbone placement (they discounted things like hair, makeup, and jewelry).<\/p>\n
“They found that Republican women were more likely to have stereotypically feminine faces — and the effect was more pronounced the more conservative their voting records were. The reverse was true for Democrats — the more liberal their voting records, the less traditionally feminine their faces. The study authors call this ‘the Michele Bachmann effect.'” I kid you not. That\u2019s what they call it: The Michele Bachmann Effect. <\/p>\n

Now, would you like to run a test on this? By the way, it\u2019s the story that says that, not me. The story that says Democrat women more are likely to look like men. (interruption) No, they didn\u2019t close the loop and ask what do men find more attractive. Is that open for question? (interruption) In today\u2019s society you have a point. Yeah, it is an open question. But could we, say, draw some names out of a hat and apply the test of this study and see if it makes any sense? (interruption)<\/p>\n
Well, you want to try it? Let\u2019s see. Okay. Let\u2019s see. Conservative women. Who do we know? (interruption) Okay, Michele Bachmann or Barbara Mikulski? Point proven? Okay. Uh, let\u2019s see, Sarah Palin or Big Sis, Janet Napolitano? Hmmm. Okay, give me another conservative woman. (interruption) Well, there are not enough people who are gonna know what Mary Bono looks like. Not enough people know her. Let\u2019s see. (interruption) Mia Love. Okay. Mia Love, if you\u2019ve seen her, or Rosa DeLauro? Let\u2019s see. Who else can we do? Conservative women. <\/p>\n
Think of some media types, Snerdley. <\/p>\n
Okay. Let\u2019s see. Ummm. (interruption) Okay, who can we compare her to? Ann Coulter or Hillary Clinton? (chuckling) You want to keep going here? We\u2019re trying to establish here the scientific points made by these two psychologists at UCLA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
