Battle Of The Sexes: Why Herman Cain Will Ultimately Lose

 

Is Herman Cain, the GOP presidential contender guilty of the allegations and accusations that he groped and sexually harassed women in the 1990s?

 

The answer to that question may now be irrelevant because Herman Cain has unknowingly made a major strategic error that could cost him the Republican presidential candidacy as polls now show his support dropping. (See notes below: 1.2.3.4.)

 

The Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz once said that “the best defense is a good offense.” And that same strategy has been applied in sports and was often voiced and popularized by football coach Vince Lombardi. But neither Lombardi nor Clausewitz was ever in a position like Cain where he is defending himself against women.

 

Herman Cain has defended himself against the allegations of sexual harassment by publicly attacking the accusatory women and mocking women: he said that presidential rival Michele Bachmann would be “tutti-frutti” ice cream, called House Democratic leader “Princess Nancy” Pelosi, and shrugged off a joke about Anita Hill. The result is that he has now turned this event into a battle of the sexes – a battle that he won’t easily win.

 

By attacking the accuser and other women, Herman Cain has laid down the gauntlet and now women’s organizations are coming to the defense of women, particularly those who claim to be victims of harassment or discrimination by men.

 

The conservative Christian group best known for its stance against abortion, Concerned Women for America was the first national organization to publicly support one of Cain’s accusers, Sharon Bialek, saying that Miss Bialek “appeared credible.” And the National Organization for Women says it is disturbed by the broader attack on women who come forward with workplace sexual harassment allegations.

 

And therein lies the major error by Cain – he went on the offense and verbally attacked the women; he called Bialek a liar and questioned her motives in coming forward. In doing so, he has provoked the ire of women, particularly those women who have been genuine victims of sexual harassment or abuse.

 

Unfortunately, Cain was lacking good strategists to advise him against attacking the accuser or women. When coaching clients who appear in court, I have always advised them to beware of the intention of the prosecutor – to push you to anger, to make you explode, become emotional and ultimately get you to express negative emotions and words that will turn the jury against you – even if you are innocent. I teach my clients to state their case and when prodded by the prosecuting attorney “Are you saying the witness is lying?” to calmly respond with “I can’t speak for her; maybe she is mistaken. I can only tell you what I know and what happened.”

 

The Chinese philosopher/general, Sun Tzu wrote a book “The Art of War” two and a half thousand years ago and today that book is used as a resource for mediation and conflict resolution. One of Tzu’s primary teachings is “Never underestimate your opponent.” But Cain has underestimated his opponent; and that opponent is not one woman (Sharon Bialek) who has filed bankruptcy or another woman (Karen Kraushaar) who has filed a complaint twice about her bosses. Instead, Cain’s opponent has turned into all women who feel betrayed, put down or discriminated against by men.

 

Yes, Cain underestimated his opponent; women today are extremely powerful and influential:

 

There are more women in the US workforce than men; more women are attending and graduating college than men in the US; churches are opening up to allow women to lead, preach and teach as ministers, pastors and reverends; Women are becoming a greater force in politics and; women account for 85% of all consumer purchases.

 

Accordingly, if Herman Cain continues to become angry, arrogant or accusatory towards women, then even if he is completely innocent, he will lose the battle of the sexes as women may simply conclude he is guilty, arrogant or evil. And after all, truth is often trumped by perception which then becomes recognized as the truth.

1. November 11, 2011:  “In a new CBS News Poll, 61 percent of Republican primary voters say the sexual harassment accusations against Cain won’t make any difference in their vote, but 30 percent say the charges make them less likely to back him, and that rises to 38 percent among women…Cain has lost support among women since late October. Then, he led among women, garnering 28 percent of their support. Now, his support among women is just 15 percent.”

2. November 11, 2011: “Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney tops a new survey released Friday with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich besting businessman Herman Cain for the second spot, though Cain is close behind. But only three in 10 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say they strongly support their candidate and the percentage of those who say they’re undecided on their vote is that same as those who would vote for Cain…those surveyed in the McClatchy-Marist Poll”

3. “Republican women are starting to turn away from scandal-plagued presidential candidate Herman Cain, an exclusive Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage poll shows.
“The pizza mogul is still ahead in the crucial state of Iowa, but his lead over one-time front-runner Mitt Romney is dwindling, the survey shows.
“But while 31 percent of Iowan men say they would still vote for Cain, only 16 percent of women say the same.”

4. “According to a CNN/ORC International Poll released Monday, [Nov. 14, 2011] … The poll also indicates that 14 percent back Cain, down 11 points from last month. Four women have alleged that Cain sexually harassed them during the late 1990s when he headed the National Restaurant Association. Cain denies the allegations.

“Cain is struggling with the charges of sexual harassment, and while most Republicans tend to dismiss those charges, roughly four in 10 Republicans think this is a serious matter and tend to believe the women who made those charges,” CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/14/cnn-poll-gingrich-soars-cain-drops/?hpt=hp_t1

 

5. “According to a CNN/ORC International Poll released Monday, [Nov. 14, 2011]…The survey indicates that only a bare majority of Republicans tend to believe Cain, and more than a third say he should end his presidential campaign. Among the general public, Cain has a bigger credibility problem — 50% of all Americans say they tend to believe the women and only a third say they believe Cain.

“Not surprisingly, there is a big gender gap on this matter — women say this is a serious matter and believe the women, but men say the story has been overblown and are split on which side they believe,” Holland added.

Is Twitter and Tweeting bad for the brain?

 

THE GOOD

Tweeting serves three purposes:

 

1. A personal announcement
2. A business/product promotion
3. An opinion

 

Tweeting gives some people a sense of significance by feeling they have a voice and can be heard. When we believe that people actually care about our opinions and thoughts, we raise our self-esteem, confidence and self-image; we feel more significant.

 

 

THE BAD

Neurological research from UCSF (University California San Francisco) reveals that excessive tweeting and checking other’s tweets leads to constant distractions and frequent multitasking which ironically makes you worse at multitasking and can hinder ling-term memory and mental performance by losing the ability to successfully filter out irrelevant data and focus on one piece of information at a time. Simply put: the more we teach our brain to constantly jump around, the less it can sit still – it wants to keep jumping around.

 

Emotionally, tweeting can make us more impatient, impulsive, forgetful and of course, narcissistic – falsely thinking that everyone’s happiness and meaning in life is dependent on knowing where we are and exactly what we are doing, thus creating an extraordinarily inflated sense of self and ego.

 

By constantly focusing on communicating in 140 characters, we train our brain to think in overly-simplified ways and we lose our ability to create and process complex thoughts. And that is what John Mayer was referring to when he said he awoke to realize the damage that Twitter had done to him: “I realized about a year ago that I couldn’t have a complete thought anymore…I was a tweetaholic.”

 

Finally, researchers at UCSF are finding that increased distractions are in essence aging our brain – and like old people who find it hard to multitask and recall short term events, young people are creating the same with increased distractions and interruptions.*

Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco have pinpointed a reason older adults have a harder time multitasking than younger adults: they have more difficulty switching between tasks at the level of brain networks. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/04/110411152522.htm

 

* “The impact of distractions and interruptions reveals the fragility of working memory,” said Adam Gazzaley, who also is a member of the W. M. Keck Center for Integrative Neuroscience at UCSF.  “This is an important fact to consider, given that we increasingly live in a more demanding, high-interference environment, with a dramatic increase in the accessibility and variety of electronic media and the devices that deliver them, many of which are portable.”

Addiction intervention:

When and how to do an intervention

Interventions & addiction: Do you have a friend or family member who is out of control and nothing seems to be working? What can you do or should you do to help them?

What is an intervention?

An intervention is a carefully planned confrontation designed to convince a loved one to get the professional help for the habit/addiction that he or she denies but which is destroying his/her life and the people around him/her.

What is an addiction?

Experts disagree on the exact definition of an addiction; an addiction can refer to a behavior where someone has become dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming.

Many experts believe that every compulsive behavior is an addiction stemming from a neurological or chemical impulse (for example narcotic drugs.)  Patrick Wanis PhD believes there are two aspects to an addiction – the physical addiction (such as a narcotic drug) and the emotional/psychological impulse or need that drives a person to begin the behavior or habit and then become dependent on it (the subconscious desire to escape a feeling or pain or the subconscious desire to create a new feeling or new reality.)

Patrick Wanis PhD does not believe that excessive or compulsive behavior such as sex is a physical or neurological addiction.

Dr. Wanis places destructive habit forming behaviors into two categories:

1.    Addiction is any behavior that is controlling and destroying your life but is driven by a chemical or neurological dependency

2.    Compulsive obsessive is any behavior that is controlling and destroying your life but is driven by a subconscious mental/emotional need or impulse

Patrick Wanis PhD has successfully helped people to overcome addictions and compulsive behaviors by primarily working on the subconscious motivation behind the addiction/behavior rather than focusing on treating the physical symptoms.

What are some typical addictions, compulsive or self-destructive behaviors?

• Drugs
• Compulsive gambling
• Alcohol
• Eating disorders
• Self-mutilation (cutting)
• Excessive use and dependency on porn, internet, television or video games
• Excessive shopping/spending
• Shoplifting
• Crime
• Excessive work
• Excessive exercise

The following is the Press Release issued by the Department of Twin Research and Genetic Epidemiology King’s College London, UK. May 12, 2009

Emotional intelligence in women, the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, appears to increase their number of orgasms, suggests a study by the Department of Twin Research and published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.

The study suggests that low emotional intelligence is a potential risk factor for female orgasmic dysfunction, which is the second most frequently reported female sexual problem with two in five women stating to never, or finding it difficult to achieve an orgasm.

The investigators carried out this study by recruiting 2035 female volunteers from the TwinsUK registry aged 18-83 years. All completed questionnaires detailing their general sexual behavior and functioning, and a validated questionnaire on emotional intelligence. The research found a significant association between emotional intelligence and the frequency of orgasm during masturbation and intercourse. This led to the conclusion that a high emotional intelligence level contributes to the ability to achieve orgasm more frequently.

On August 4, 2009, George Sodini, 48, entered a Collier Township fitness club in Pennsylvania, calmly walked into an aerobics class, turned off the lights and fired 52 rounds of bullets on the 20 occupants, killing three women and injuring nine others, before turning the gun on himself.

 

Why did Sodini do this? What drives a man to become a mass killer? What is the profile of mass murderers?

 

Sodini’s website foretold of the chilling events and it gives plenty of insight into Sodini’s motivations. Sodini had been keeping a diary on his blog which eluded to plans of killing young girls at the fitness club, for at least a year prior to the shootings.

 

 

 

To read the full text of L.A. Fitness shooter George Sodini’s blog link / online diary from his website click here. George Sodini’s blog link was removed, and it’s unknown, but the text on his website was published and is here.

 

Let’s talk first about the motivations, warning signs and characteristics of mass killers and mass murderers; the profile of mass murderers. Listen to my list of the various possible contributing factors that lead to a person becoming a mass killer including possible exacerbation of aggressiveness and tendencies to violence due to psychiatric medication; social withdrawal; anti-social behavior, victim mentality; persecution complex; external blame; extreme chronic stress; feelings of powerlessness; lack of emotional support from friends and family; lists of grievances (people who wronged the murderer); feelings of extreme disappointment, frustration and failure; inability to cope with life and its disappointments; feelings that life is now hopeless, bad and beyond redeem; plans and desires for revenge against those who caused them to suffer (often family members or co-workers); desire to hurt the world believing that they are victims in a cruel unjust world which hurt them; access to automatic weapons. (listen to my radio interview outlining the profile of mass murderers – click here.)

 

Does George Sodini fit this description?

Cheating politicians and political sex scandals and are not recent phenomena. In 1963, British politician, John Profumo, resigned after admitting to an affair with a prostitute; in 1974, US Rep. Wilbur D. Mills suffered his downfall after a scandal involving an exotic dancer; In 1999, US President Bill Clinton is impeached and later acquitted following false testimony about having sexual relations with an intern and; in 2009, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford admits he cheated on his wife and disappeared from the United States for seven days to Argentina to visit his mistress.

 

The list of politicians who have cheated on their wife or committed some sexual act that resulted in a sex scandal is a long one.
