An observation on Republican Party culture

[Frodo]

I think I read somewhere that in countries with lower levels of gender inequality (like ours), men are more authoritarian than women because they feel more threatened by the increased competition.  And with our tortured history of race relations, that is especially prevalent among white men.

It is the other way around in countries and societies that are still blatantly patriarchal, like Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy. That's as authoritarian as you can get.
