Science Rules

I'm sure some of us have always suspected that a lot of right wing, pro-war, homophobes, with cowardly fantasies of violence are, in fact, big giant pussies.

Now science has proven us to be right once again. Via Yahoo News:

Men whose masculinity is challenged become more inclined to support war or buy an SUV, a new study finds.

Their attitudes against gays change, too.

Cornell University researcher Robb Willer used a survey to sample undergraduates. Participants were randomly assigned feedback that indicated their responses were either masculine of feminine.

The women had no discernable reaction to either type of feedback in a follow-up survey.

But the guys's reactions were "strongly affected," Willer said today.

"I found that if you made men more insecure about their masculinity, they 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," said Willer said. "There were no increases [in desire] for other types of cars."

Those who had their masculinity threatened also said they felt more ashamed, guilty, upset and hostile than those whose masculinity was confirmed, he said.

Does that describe, to a T, anybody we know? I think so...

All of those screaming about gays - are, in fact, big giant homos. They're all a bunch of Jim Bakers.

The truth is, straight guys that are comfortable with their sexual orientation and masculinity don't think much about gay sex. They really don't give a shit about what gay people do, and they don't think that if gays get married, their marriage will suddenly mean less.

Many on the right wing seem to be obsessed with it. They even write about it on their blogs. They froth at the mouth over the issue of gay rights, for a very simple reason. They have very strong gay tendencies that they are conflicted by, hate themselves for, and externalize that hatred at those that are not fucked in the head.

They probably have really small dicks too, which contributes to the feeling of inadequacy. They carry guns as a surrogate 10 inch penis. I guess if they can't be packing one way, they'll pack in another.

Right wingers are quite simply filled with hatred because of their own failed self-expectations. They need therapy. They really do... and maybe go back to college.

As for me, masculinity has never been an issue. I grew up playing a number of sports, and was quite good at them. I have a black belt in Tai Kwon Do (traditional Korean art), have officiated high school football for a number of years, and I have absolutely no clue how to decorate a house.

The result? I don't fantasize about shooting Muslims in the head, nor do I really give a shit what people do in their home. I don't feel the need to feel like a "man" by buying a big-ass truck. I don't start or get involved in confrontations in public, even though it wouldn't be terribly difficult for me to put Bubba in the hospital. And I don't feel uncomfortable around guys that are more on the feminine side. People come in all sorts of different varieties - and as long as they aren't consumed by hate, it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

In short, I don't compensate for being a pussy by being a dick.

Perfect example:

Joe Braun is/was the campaign manager for Jean Schmidt, who won the Congressional election in Ohio yesterday.

He wrote a scathing attack on gay people, here:

It turns out he is a sadomasochist who is into bondage and discipline. He's a very, very naughty man..

Family values bitches!

Okay.. that wasn't a "perfect" example. It would have been perfect had it been guys that he was wanting to whip, it turns out he was looking to:

Spankin' Joe Braun is an experienced Dominant Male seeking a sub (short for submissive) for long term exploration and training.

Spankin' Joe Braun wants to pay for living expenses for his sub, and choose what she wears and what she eats.

Spankin' Joe Braun wants his sub to be naked and only wear a collar and cuffs.

Spankin' Joe Braun wants to drip hot wax on the naked body of his sub for pain, pleasure, and punishment.

Spankin' Joe Braun wants to engage in play medical exams with his sub, and whip her with a single-tail whip.

I think you get my point....

Funny, I don't recall seeing this report on CNN. That would be much more interesting then the latest WWIT (white woman in trouble).

Got a picture of him..



Very respectable looking isn't he? Quite the model of Republican perfection I think.

But, on a slightly more serious note, he is now disgraced and has been publicly humiliated. Why? Because he likes to play dress up and have rough sex? Hell no. It's because of his hypocrisy, and targeting people simply because they are gay.

If he ran the campaign for Hackett instead, and supported gay rights, it would never have been an issue what he does in private. But nooooo.... had to be a hypocrite.. Good luck finding another job.

Jesus' General weighs in with a question for the "Dean of Corn".

Well, Master Gunther--that's what he likes people to call him--has been trying to convince me to allow him to use a "single-tail whip." I've resisted up until now, because I'm very happy with his Terrible Spatula of Redemption. It seems to do the job of getting me right with the Lord just fine. That said, I'm always willing to try out new technology.

These rumors on the internets suggest that you're a virtuoso with a single-tail whip. Is that true? If so, would you recommend it over a terrible spatula of redemption? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using either of these instruments?
