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.

Sounds about right, considering how many tiny cowboy types I've seen driving trucks with 4 foot lifts on them and monster truck type tires with a little window decal that shows calvin from calvin and hobbes either pissing on a ford, chevy, or dodge logo.

That's too bad - really, not sarcastically.

Do you know what bugs you about them?

"Men whose masculinity is challenged" should be changed to read "men who are insecure with their masculinity."

Your masculinity doesn't 'get challenged' unless you're already insecure about it.

I'd like to see a study that says what activities "challenged" guys in other countries use to make up for their lack of balls. I wonder how similar it would be?

No. But I've met enough to recognize that they generally overcompensate for something.

I only recently discovered she was a woman. Her posts were just as disappointing when she was gender-ambiguous.

Considering my posts haven't been stellar in these past few months, this may sound hypocritical.

Regardless I felt it necessary to voice some criticism in this case, my inter-reputation be damned.

People who didn't like Aimee's posts don't like cybersex with animals.

A subtle difference, but important.

Linguist Deciphers Uses of Word 'Dude'

http://www.livescience.com/othernews/du ... 41208.html

Kiesling says in the fall edition of American Speech that the word derives its power from something he calls cool solidarity -- an effortless kinship that's not too intimate.

Cool solidarity is especially important to young men who are under social pressure to be close with other young men, but not enough to be suspected as gay.

wait so how does a SUV make you masculine? i laugh at homos in soccer momobiles thinking they're king of the road

Posted: **Wed Aug 17, 2005 1:18 am**

Well I've always supported the war and our military. As for SUVs I've always hated them, they can't handle for shit. I'm always inclined to buy something much faster and better handling then an SUV.
