Well, in my experience -- and I have a pretty massive group of aquaintances -- women rarely get engaged in political discussions and will physically leave the area when it starts going on.
In the given scenario with 10 and 10 even split, I would typically find myself and 2 or 3 other men at the end of it talking politics.
Im not knocking your experience but i dont think you can apply it to the rest of america/western society.
so, you're seriously suggesting that depending on what genitals you were born with, your interest in politics can be determined?

Hence why I offered it up as an experiment .

Are you seriously suggesting that it's impossible to notice interest tendencies between genders?
You think there are equal amounts of women that like car parts, violent sports, and online video games as there are men?
You think there are equal amounts of men who like shoes, cosmetics, and scented candles as there are women?
I'm sorry, but trying to say that women are as interested in politics as men are, generally, is like trying to tell me that just as many women play World of Warcraft as men.edit on 10-8-2013 by LightOrange because: (no reason given)
A soft-spoken man in his late 50s, Silverman was inspired to start his shelter after leaving his own wife, who he claimed abused him physically and emotionally during their 20-year marriage, but he was unable to find a shelter that would admit him. In March, Silverman had closed his shelter, sold his home and filed for bankruptcy. On April 27 his body was found, along with a four-page suicide note—in which he allegedly blamed the federal and provincial governments for indifference toward the suffering of men.
“That note was his final attempt to get his story on the record,” says Karen Straughan, an Edmonton-based writer, activist and friend of Silverman’s. “During his life, he was always silenced, so I think this was one last, desperate attempt to be heard.”
