Why do women believe in astrology so much more than men do?

What's the rationale?

Gallup Poll:
- In the US, it's 28% of women vs. 23% of men.
- In Canada, it's 33% of women vs. 16% of men.
- In Great Britain, it's 30% of women vs. 14% of men.

Averaged across these three groups, it's 30.3% (women) vs. 17.6% (men), a near-doubling of prevalence. What's the reason?

tynamite's avatar Because the tides of the moon affects a woman's menstrual cycle, so that provides evidence of astrology being true.

It's just to say that because women are more emotional and irrational, a higher purpose that justifies how they act provides salvation and direction in their lives. I'm making the same point as the top rated answer but in a different way.

Come on Adisa, you know that irony just gets you downvoted on Quora.

Don't you just love it? :P

I'm so surprisingly outlandish and cynical.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
