When i first read what this guy wrote awhile back I believed (agreed?) that Conservatives are daddy-like and Liberals are mommy-like. But I do not agree anymore: I think now that Conservatives are gender-role embracing, daddy is daddy & mommy is mommy; primarily social, willing to compromise individual freedom to take a part in a whole; liberals are androgyny-embracing, want freedom to pick & choose traits, custom build an identity, & willing to sacrifice “social unit cohesion” advantages

I have never met a Liberal who is willing to sacrifice anything they are so interested in being unique that they are unwavering selfish and unable to experience or bring about change. The Conservatives that I know spend their lives making daily sacrifices for the people around them, it is somewhat part of their natural routine to sacrifice and make it possible for those around them to meet their full potential.

oh my… he stopped speaking on linguists and now he’s using linguistics to dupe the audience using words like nurturing family for liberals and strict discipline family for conservatives
it’s real non-sense this is trying to be politically correct yet biologically socially domestically incorrect
he’s still stuck on the 60s fad of feminism while if you read on the current literature of the leading authors of 60s they are all in a state of confusion for the horror they had unleashd on women
