When a man's masculinity is threatened, watch him turn into Macho Man. In a Cornell University study, men who perceived their masculinity to be maligned displayed more homophobic attitudes, tended to support the Iraq war more and would be more willing to purchase an SUV over another type of vehicle. In other words, men overcompensate when they feel their masculinity is threatened.
The results: When the men who felt threatened were questioned about their political attitudes, including how they felt about a same-sex marriage ban and their support for President Bush's handling of the Iraq war, they displayed strong macho feelings. Masculinity-threatened participants also showed more interest in buying an SUV. The study findings were presented at the American Sociological Association meeting in Philadelphia.

I would like to know the number of Cornell professors that were with Cindy in her little march last week.
Ithaca is the City of EVIL.

These pantywaists would sure have a field day analyzing my truck decked out in NRA and "nuke Mecca" stickers.

This looks like another one of those studies where they reached a conclusion, then went to find evidence of it, ignoring evidence to the contrary.

As always, when they call us names they are usually describing their own behavior. *disclaimer- I learned that from Rush

I'm not so insecure that I need to create a study to manufacture the notion that my political views are the height of manliness.
On the other hand, I'm not a liberal pu---.

I'm not insecure. Homosexuality is a sin and I will never condone it. Liberal idiots are free to call me all the names they want. It won't pressure me into changing my mind, or my sense of morality,

All murderers, rapists and child molesters drank milk in their early lives. Obviously, we need to ban milk to stop this madness.

HA HA HA HA HA HA.
I wonder how they came up with this one.

Insecure is homosexuals wanting to adopt heterosexual customs like marriage so they can pretend like they are normal.

Oh, I AM VERY insecure with the concept of dodging frequent terrorist attacks all the days of my life on American soil. And if these Cornell profs say I'm insane, I should show them pictures of New York City 2001.

LOL. They would need a study spanning several years and billions in government grants to figure that one out.

I'm so damn insecure that I just finished cutting up a pronghorn antelope I shot yesterday. The butterfly tenderloins are going on the grill this evening.

In other words, men overcompensate when they feel their masculinity is threatened. Right, and men who are secure with their masculinity embrace homosexuality, don't support war, drive Yugo's and avoid acting MACHO like the plague.

I also heard calling people "pantywaists" is another sign of male insecurity.
