Men who are physically strong are more likely to have right wing political views
Weaker men more likely to support welfare state and wealth redistribution
Link may reflect psychological traits that evolved in our ancestors
Strength was a proxy for ability to defend or acquire resources

Men who are strong are more likely to take a right-wing stance, while weaker men support the welfare state, researchers claim.
Their study discovered a link between a man’s upper-body strength and their political views.
Scientists from Aarhus University in Denmark collected data on bicep size, socio-economic status and support for economic redistribution from hundreds in America, Argentina and Denmark.
Wait, What?
You mean that those who can, do …and vote for people who champion freedom and self reliance
while those who can’t, join the teachers union …and vote for socialists?
Shocking!
How much taxpayer money did we waste on this study?
I’m just a hair under 200 lbs; I can bench press my weight 10 times, and I can squat my weight 10 times.
I guess that means two things. 1) I am pretty much a centrist who sees things as objectively as possible because there’s a lot of wiggle room between Ayn Rand and Karl Marx and 2) I am a badass.
Well, I guess that explains why the only biceps we ever hear about belong to the first lady.
