I feel the same way.

In fact, this is the first time I've seen a single anti-homosexual on this forum, and one (this forum) with a decent size of homosexuals, bisexuals, pansexuals (I'm yet to find any) and whateversexuals.

While their findings are consistent with that theory, the authors note that there is another, competing theoretical explanation: anxiety. According to this theory, viewing the male homosexual videotape may have caused negative emotions (such as anxiety) in the homophobic men, but not in the nonhomophobic men. As the authors note, 'anxiety has been shown to enhance arousal and erection,' and so it is also possible that 'a response to homosexual stimuli [in these men] is a function of the threat condition rather than sexual arousal per se. These competing notions can and should be evaluated by future research.'

I thought anxiety made you soft, not hard. Besides, when I feel threatened I don't get aroused, but maybe I'm weird in that regard.
Still, sounds a bit like something to avoid commiting to the 'homophobic guys are secretly gay' conjecture.

Yeah. It doesn't hold across prejudices. While a homophobe may well by gay or while an antisemite might well be ethnically Jewish, a misogynistic man is probably not actually a woman.
In every U.S. presidential election between 1976 and 2004, the Republican nominee for president or for vice president was either a Dole or a Bush.

The underlying pattern does hold across prejudices, though: it's not hard to understand how people might have a greater aversion for people who exhibit traits that they hate about themselves.

Any further replies on the matter of what blank stare put in his "sexual orientation" line should be made here and not in the Census thread.

That is all.

A great counterpoint to misogynistic man with a vagina, Rachael Maddow.

honestly wherever you are politically, left right whatever the fuck, can you seriously watch either Coulter or Maddow talk for ten seconds without wanting to punch them in the head

Ann Coulter does what she does best. No other polemicist is as galling as she is.

And that's why I could and can watch her all day... 8)

Unlike Coulter, Maddow doesn't read or investigate what she reports on TV... She just reads from a script and makes nasty comments about things, and her job is not "news broadcaster" but a "pundit", but ends up coming off as "stupid".

yeah, the final parenthesis are ironic

I guess now that I've actually posted I might as well do the census.

Age: 18
Gender: Male
Nationality: American
State/Province/Other Subdivision: Great Lakes Region. Depends on if you're asking for the college or the house.
Occupation: Student
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual (though I'm not very cut-and-dry here)
Status: Single
Native Language: English
Secondary Languages: Spanish (five years at school; I'm not exactly <i>fluent</i> but can manage a conversation; some Latin; a smattering of others (got through half of Arabic 1 Rosetta Stone, did not retain much because it went badly; tried to teach myself German in elementary school and know only some basic phrases; have picked up a rather strange assortment of Italian from listening to opera)
Languages I Want to Learn but Don't Have the Time: All of them, but particularly I'd like to actually <i>learn</i> Arabic and Italian, and I find Nahuatl strangely compelling.
Religion: For the sake of brevity "agnostic"
Politics: Left-wing, pretty much. I know politics aren't one-dimensional but the term suffices for most of my views.
Handedness: Right
Who Would Win in a Fist Fight Between Michael Dorn and a Zombie Benjamin Whorf?: ...Whichever one is the best at fist-fighting? I guess?
