May I suggest that Michael Parks conducts his next study (to obtain a valid sample), in Chicago? I'm sure Rahm would assist Mr. Parks and his "researchers."

I crack (Cracker) me up.

It is known that some males of the species find this hostile activity between women not only interesting but also sexually arousing, and will display all outward signs of arousal while watching.

Becaus it just may lead to kissing.

Some of the best fun I’ve had was being called to bar fight when I was a cop. After puti’n some “Whup ass” on a couple of guys, I walked back in to make sure everything was calm. I’d find illegal guns, knives and pipes laying on the floor. I’d ask “Sir, is this yours?” of course it was “No.” I’d retrieve everything and as I went out the door, I’d turn and say “Anybody else want some exercise tonight?” All I got was grumbles as their illegal weapons went out the door.

My brother witnessed a bar fight/killing in Florida and testified at the trial. Best part of it for him was that he got paid by the court to fly back there from the Northwest, twice, first class, with hotel and daily expenses. Vacation, vacation and a third vacation.

All-female aggression was rare.

I humbly suggest the professor apply for a new grant for secondary, followup, research at Chuck-E-Cheese and Waffle House.

Those results may be skewed toward an opposite bias.

Like the other poster said...I should have applied for a government grant to study it!

Going to the gay bar in town became fashionable for ‘hip’ straights in my city once upon a time.

I think it ran its course when the HIV “plague” hit. The newspaper started running daily statistics on infections.

Surprisingly, when the number of HIV patients stabilized at around 85 and didn’t make a lot of headway into the straight community they dropped the statistic count.
