Men Enjoy Retribution

A study has found that men enjoy retribution. Men and women saw both innocent and guilty parties receive mild shocks; both were empathetic to the innocent parties, but the case of the guilty parties was far more interesting: men weren’t empathetic at all, but enjoyed the spectacle while women remained empathetic.

This indicates why men are better suited for dealing justice and waging war than women: we are dispassionate, doing what needs to be done. Heck, we actually enjoy watching the guilty get their just desserts; women pity them!

Which is really, really strange, come to think of it.
