Women less likely than men to travel back in time and kill Hitler

NYPost-

Of all the things to feel Jewish guilt about, we can now add “not killing Hitler.”

At least if you’re a woman.

According to a recent research paper that isn’t made up and actually got published — in something called the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin — women feel less comfortable killing the long-deceased Nazi leader in a time-travel thought experiment.

In the paper, which analyzed 40 studies involving 6,100 respondents, 60 percent of men were willing to kill Hitler, to 55 percent of women.

So do women hate killing in general more than men? Do they like mass murderers more? Or is it just because they don’t like any questions with science fiction in them?  MORE

  1. A an avid WW II history researcher, I can say that we would have been better off stopping Hitler’s nastier activities in 1935 and joining with him to eliminate Stalin……If you are going by body count, Stalin was far worse!! Holomodor IMHO

  2. Oh, hell, no. I’d be first in line.

    Actually, I’d go back and use my super power to make him tell the truth. Doh!

    I’d use it now on Obolo but I broke it. My super power, that is. Dang. Didn’t know that were that fragile.

  3. Is the study trying to suggest that women are more squeamish than men about killing in general? If so, I sure hope that doesn’t hold true for our fine women in uniform.

  4. Better yet, while it’s not too late, let’s actually kill the guy NOW that’s going to screw things up worse than Hitler
    in the future. The one that’s going to cause World War III and devastate
    the planet. You know, that guy that…

    Oh, wait –

  5. The question people would be asking in our future is if they would remove the Marxist in Chief or the Communist/anti-Christ Pope if they only were informed.

    The answer would be ‘no’. It wouldn’t be for lack of evidence, though.

    The truth is that we are all cowards in the face of evil – that is why evil dominates.

  6. Y’know why tyrants come up to exist in the first place? Because people themselves have failed or don’t know how to rule their own domain. Sin tarnishes our rulership.
    For if we had the capacity to on a mass scale, tyrants would have no power. But in our human nature, we want tyrants to rule. This will become increasingly apparent as the younger generations have no real knowledge on how to do anything. Tech is replacing individual character development. Hitler eventually became intoxicated with the evil one.
