Trump Appeals More to Men Who Are Sexually Insecure
November 29, 2018 at 6:56 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Eric Knowles and Sarah DiMuccio: “From boasting about the size of his penis on national television to releasing records of his high testosterone levels, President Trump’s rhetoric and behavior exude machismo. His behavior also seems to have struck a chord with some male voters. See, for example, the ‘Donald Trump: Finally Someone With Balls’ T-shirts common at Trump rallies.”

“But our research suggests that Trump is not necessarily attracting male supporters who are as confidently masculine as the president presents himself to be. Instead, Trump appears to appeal more to men who are secretly insecure about their manhood.”

1. Obligatory Claude Rains

[Ilsa]

2. Happy to be the first rec.

He and Little Marco and the rest can fight about it, but Nikki Haley beats the R men.

[Squinch]

3. "Secretly insecure about their manhood." Hey guys! Guess what? NOT SO SECRET!

[TheBlackAdder]

12. Yeah, really. This is just another affirmation of what everybody without a tiny penis knows.

[Squinch]

13. They might as well be wearing sandwich boards declaring their insecurity. And not just sexual

insecurity, though that is certainly part of it.

[TheBlackAdder]

14. Isn't that the job of the MAGA hat?

[Squinch]

15. LOL! Finally, I understand its usefulness!

[lastlib]

20. He's "one of Them".

Of course he appeals to them.

[peekaloo]

4. Viagra Vigilantes!

Pillsbury Dough Boys as tough guys!

[Loki Liesmith]

5. This study design is deeply ridiculous

[GoCubsGo]

6. They needed a study to prove that?

I thought it was pretty obvious. His cult is insecure about EVERYTHING.

[Harker]

7. The Hefner effect. n/t

[rickyhall]

8. Braggers are not

confidently masculine. But they drive big trucks.

[True Blue American]

27. Lol

If you got it no need to flaunt it!

[Tarc]

9. President Incel

Has a lovely ring to it.

[certainot]

10. that fits with the sex on the wrong brain theory of authoritarianism

authoritarians have a bigger problem with right handed masturbation than liberals do

the sowb theory suggests conservatives are diverting more of their sex energy to brain functions/areas for logic/problem solving etc, that need to be patient and objective, instead of to the creative orgasmic parts

so they're getting smaller orgasms and more sexual dysfunction, while that impatient satisfaction-demanding sex energy creates an irrational need for quick easy answers and finality, which doesn't exist, so they get scared until a leader like trump comes along and gives them certainty and quick easy answers

[harumph]

17. "diverting more of their sex energy to brain functions/areas for logic/problem solving etc."

Well, that diversion of energy to "logic" seems pretty wasted as well. I guess you do the
best you can with a 10 watt bulb.

[SallyHemmings]

11. The Little Blue Pill crowd

[47of74]

16. Or the incel set.

[smirkymonkey]

18. We didn't really need research for that. It's pretty apparent.

Besides, we now all know that DT has a teeny-tiny mushroom dick after Stormy spilled the beans, so it's pretty clear that all that macho posturing is covering some very deep insecurities about his manhood.

[IronLionZion]

19. Not much of a secret

Are his female supporters insecure about their womanhood and they need an authoritarian man to take charge of things and protect them from immigrants?

31. I don't think it's a sexual insecurity for women. It's maturity insecurity.

Women who grow up infantilized or experience constant re-enforcement that they are second class citizens with limited social role responsibilities have developed the emotional need to have outwardly authoritarian men take responsibility for their wellbeing. As they have no agency of their own, they depend on the agency of a protector for their future.
So, like adolescents, those who are naturally independent will not be so fearful of life and reality in general, even as they may be forced participate in whatever social dance structure they live in, while the average female in the same society will look to and take on the positions of whomever their chosen male peer/protector has.
And if all that is around them are MAGAts who have no future or opportunities, and are fearful of change - that's what creates female Drumpf supporters.

Female MAGAts generally know he's loudmouthed scum that should be ignored - they'd ignore his type if he was poor and walked into a bar attempting to pick them up, but since he's rich, they will follow him as blindly as everyone else around them. Because to take a stand against one's peers ostracizes one from the protection of the herd.

35. This!! So much this!!!!

[KPN]

21. Duh! nt

[Initech]

22. Well, duh!!!!

[Maine-i-acs]

23. Toad's toadies? or Mushroom Militia?

Someone please create a poll for the naming of the legions of insecure Trumpanzee-men.

[world wide wally]

29. Mushroom Militia says it all

[lark]

24. Drumpf is a phony, we know he's a tiny dick in both penis and brain.

He's a weak person's idea of a strong man because inside he's insecure as hell or he wouldn't have to say anything about his brain or dick size. Really smart and really gifted people do not go around bragging about it, because they don't need to, it's obvious. drumpf is the kid who threw the cake around at his brothers' birthday party because it wasn't his and he wanted to ruin the celebration of his dads' favorite son, because it wasn't him. Now, he's got PUtin telling him what to do and he totally grovels before him for what he thinks is his own profit, but PUtin knows it's all about hurting America and helping Russia for orange assmouth's personal gain.

[William Seger]

25. Trump supporters are the kids who follow the schoolyard bully around

[JHB]

30. Woims

[denvine]

26. Haha! This should be the headline in all newspapers,

and written across the sky. You assholes have been pegged!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

28. Research confirms what most of us already knew

Insecure men are so unattractive to women. Pretty obvious Trump is insecure as well.

[meow2u3]

32. Ya just found out?!

[catbyte]

33. I wonder how weak you must feel to look at that orange thing and see strength.

[unitedwethrive]

34. He also appeals to men who are racists.

And I bet the venn diagram of those two groups is almost one big circle.
