Female Republicans?

[Ultralight]

Do you all think female Republicans or female conservatives are more likely to be frugal and financially responsible at the personal level? If so or not, why?

[SteveinMN]

No more so than almost any other group of people you could name. "Conservative" is too broad a label to mean only fiscal conservatism or social conservatism or... And at least as it's being displayed lately, "conservatism" has nothing to do with responsibility. Just, no.

Who cares?

Who cares?

Apparently UL does...

I think they are more likely to boycott Willie Nelson for stupid reasons.

[Gardnr]

Are you trying to build the profile for your perfect woman?

I suspect the spread is like any other "labeled" group.

Hahaha!

Like the way he often does the Fmaj7 voicing with no third (A) in it? Irritates some ladies I know beyond measure.

I ask because I care. I am interested. Likelihoods interest me.

Yes that! And he smokes pot.

[Williamsmith]

I don’t often find female republicans in the wild but when I do they are dressed in obvious thrift store clothes and driving used BMWs.

I am liberal and I frown upon Willie smoking marijuana cigarettes. There was a time in this country when "a joint was a bad place to be."

Since you were a cop I can trust you to profile accurately! ;)
Thanks!

What? Labels and categories seem VERY important to you. You've started many threads that would label, categorize and stratify people.

Yo, lemme break this down for ya.

I have a friend from college. Every spring and summer she plays on three softball leagues. What would you call her? I call her a softball player.

A frolleague of mine at work is passionate about skydiving and jumps several times each week during the warm months of the year. What would you call her? I call her a skydiver.

I know a lady who loves gardening and gardens almost year round. What would you call her, Gardnr? I call her a gardener.

See how this works?

It is obvious that you are the wisest of all of us AND consumed with labels.............whatever.

[Tenngal]

no, conservative politically has nothing to do with personal finances....................

[Ultralight]

wisest of all of us

Don't label me!

Some of us are obsessive nomenclators. Ain’t no shame in it.

The problem comes when we generalize too broadly about people based on a facile observation of superficial traits. This is a tendency shared by tiki torch supremacists and pc police.

Precisely. Get to know people.....disregard the labels and generalizations.

no, i mean to break it down one reason why it's absurd, even though it's obviously absurd on it's face and hardly needs such breakdown: there can be many reasons for frugality. There can be frugality even if you got out of college with a great degree, got a great job, and make good income right out of the gate (often those hoping for early retirement) and there can be frugality after having known real financial hardship and poverty in the past (on a personal level although clearly this can happen to a whole generation in bad times). For some the financial fear just sticks. And well some people are just going to worry about finances quite independent of experience, they are just worrywarts and over plan everything, and well that does play it safer (never safe) in a dangerous world.

And that's just frugality and finances, if you branch off into minimalism, those concerned with environmental footprint etc. ...

Of course those who are culturally very conservative and traditional might expect a man to be more of the provider and breadwinner. Oddly I get the impression UL would not like this, but maybe he would.

I am married to a Republican woman, and highly recommend it. She is somewhat to the right of my cosmopolitan views, but it’s surprising how infrequently politics comes up in our daily lives.

Of course, I don’t live in a highly politicized university situation. I would suspect any woman openly holding conservative views in such an environment would require a certain strength of character and independence of mind.

[Williamsmith]

The polarity of views and the gap between female democrats and female republicans is likely over exaggerated. I could get along with the broad range of that spectrum, because it’s not really so broad. But I prefer female independents. Sometimes frugal, sometimes extravagant. Sometimes tolerant, sometimes closed minded. Sometimes jeans, sometimes Calvin Klein.
