Are physically strong and/or muscular men more likely to support right wing over left-wing politics?
This article mentions how studies have shown that bigger or more muscular men are more likely to support right wing policies over left leaning ones.
One of the reasons given was that stronger men worked for their strength, and are more assertive with pushing their self interests. Physically weaker men on the other hand were said to be more likely to support left wing policies (like a welfare state), due to the fact that these types of men were less likely to be assertive with their self interests.
On the other hand, according to these studies, there appears to be little correlation between the physical strength of women and their political ideology.
Do you think there’s a correlation between physically strong or muscular men and their political preferences?
