Mayor of Dallas, Texas: Misogynistic Gene Built In Men
Submitted by Mastodon on Tue, 2015-03-17 13:27
Article here. Excerpt:
'Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said he realized he wanted to make domestic violence a “signature issue” for him because men tend to brush off the issue as a women’s issue, but men represent the bulk of abusers. About one-fourth of women are victims of abuse, which likely means one-fourth of men are abusers, he said.
Rawlings said he makes an effort to speak out to young men to try to combat cultural problems wrought by the “misogynistic gene that’s built in us guys that we haven’t dealt with yet.”
“Half our population is preyed upon by the other half,” Rawlings said. “We are all mad about terrorism all the time and the greatest terrorism takes place right in our backyard, right in our kitchen, right in our bedroom.”'

Well, can't say about the "misogynistic gene"...
... but there does seem to be a heritable "total idiot" gene which the mayor seems to have in his DNA. I'd feel sorry for him except that he shows no signs of wanting to resist its effects.
