men are prone to assholedom

We complain day in and day out about the terrible behavior of men-- their cheating ways, their lack of caring and empathy when it comes to us women, but could it maybe NOT BE THEIR FAULT? I think it's pretty far-fetched, but a new research study on mice from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm reveal that there is a sort of "cheating gene" present in 2 out of every 5 males and men who carry this gene are more prone to marital dysfunction and potential divorce. If you have two copies of the allele you are twice as likely to be an asshole. This specific allele regulates the activity of a hormone in the brain and can affect a man's attitude toward fidelity and monogamy.

So basically, this study excuses men's behavior as being merely a biological defect or something. EEEHHHHH. Nope- men's behavior and attitude towards marriage and women has to do with morals, upbringing, and integrity. I need more proof before I believe that some gene or lack thereof causes assholedom.

I guess John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Eric Benet, and all the other cheaters carried that gene...

And I will continue to be cautious when it comes to men.
