1. I have a hard time believing it. 50% of the men I know do not.

2. One might very well conclude from this...

Women are smarter then men.

3. Who knew testosterone could be so stupid?

Way to go XX’s!

4. Who knew 50% of men are dumb as bricks.

9. Now...

you don't really want an answer to that, do you?

Maybe not "dumb as bricks", but a significant number of men think that having a billionaire president who can make dick jokes, has an ex-model for a wife, thinks it's okay to grab a woman's crotch, knowing he can get away with it, and can screw prostitutes while his wife's in labor is pretty damned cool.

Are you surprised? Are you saying you've never met a man like this? How did you get so lucky?

11. Not really surprised and yes I've met plenty of men like that ...

but I made sure I stayed away from them. My thought is with the Woodward book and NY Times Op-Ed the so called president is as dumb as a brick, something most of us already knew but didn't realize to what extent. Shame some men think that's cool.

5. I apologize for the ignorance of my gender.

I think its racism and sexism at the core.

6. I'm a man and I disapprove...

I'm so manly my vote against drumph should count twice...

7. This fundamental poll is why DEMS aren't fully progressive

We all know the voting trends, and many DEM leaders and pundits will take this poll at face value because it erases many of us from the narrative.

If we look at the parenthetical, we probably would get closer to being a progressive party. (White) men favor Trump while (Black) women favor DEMS.

Focusing on both of those would cause the leaders of the party to focus on issues that they don't want to confront.

8. Disenfranchise caucasian males

I asked a George Washington interpreter on stage at Colonial Williamsburg if there had been any discussion along those lines. Many women in the audience laughed and applauded. Naturally he had to remain in character. "What would the rationale be, sir? I should also point out that we would have been disenfranchising ourselves, since everyone in the room was a caucasian male. It's not often we conspire against each other..not in totality, anyway."

He handed it well. I was confident asking him because he's been there for years and is one of the best interpreters, always quick on his feet. I said it was a matter of forecasting the future, and the logical separation of the genders in terms of applied common sense. Women again howled. But lots of older white males were there, a few in MAGA hats. I received grumbling and stares as we exited.

10. And the Me Too movement will be fueling the blue wave

Women may finally get their revenge on serial sex offender Donald Trump and his GOP enablers in Congress. From all reports it appears that the 2018 midterm elections will be a Big Blue Wave fueled by the energy of women and the ‘Me Too” movement. - PoliticusUSA
62% of women and 42% of men will be fueling the democratic candidates in November.

I like those odds.

12. Like Honest Abe, I apologize for my gender.

So about half of men are idiots, it seems. I'm straight, but, well, I prefer the company of women anyway. Especially my gf, and my sister.

My gf Vicky is smart, though she's shy and hides it, and my sister is sassy, funny, and just brilliant. She like to argue politics more than me these days.

They're both fun to hang out with too.

13. I think what they are trying to say is

50% of the respondents who approve of the job Trump is doing are men, 28% of them are women, and the other 22% are bots.

14. aka 50% of men disapprove

[Vinca]

15. Why are 50% of men dumb enough to fall for Don's faux "machoness?"

Is it money envy? Just about anyone can become rich if they're willing to scam people and break laws to achieve it. Is it the women? Don's an easy mark for women who look for bank accounts first and a decent person second. Is it TV star Don? Some people become TV stars because they're buffoons. As for looks . . . easily achieved with a tanning bed, peroxide, crates of hairspray and a never ending supply of calorie-laden fast food.

16. Macho chest thumping goes a long way in American culture and politics.

They ate it up when George W did it, too.

17. "Proof of female I.Q. superiority for $1000, Alex."

I'm just saying.
