I was thinking about men's and women's self-images, but that's not what the questions were about. <br /><br />It's true that it asks about attending college, not graduating--the elite university question also asks about "attending," so in principle people could be thinking about a hypothetical candidate who flunked out of Harvard or Yale after one semester. However, I doubt that changing the wording from "attended" to "graduated from" would make much difference.David Weakliemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336229317604663975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085195159661027971.post-52325887979820193822015-03-31T20:24:59.971-04:002015-03-31T20:24:59.971-04:00Isn't "strong, silent type" an exact...Isn't "strong, silent type" an exact parallel?<br /><br />Also, not that it makes any difference to your larger point but "did not attend college" is obviously not the same as "did not graduate college"; as I understand it, Scott Walker left (a respectable) college after seven semesters, so he's not exactly the Tennessee Tailor.Earle Millernoreply@blogger.com
