Quote :
"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' 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."


Maybe its just a masculinity challenge and not having a small penis ...

^^ yeah.

I like older SUVs much more because they seem mucch more rugged.

I just think this article is interesting, especially the increase in homophobic reactions.

masculinity is a dying trait anyways

by 2031, men and women will be completely interchangeable. guys will be lactating regularly, women will be taking 10 minutes out of every day to jerk it, we'll end up fighting over how each other washes the dishes

we're approaching sad times

I don't really find SUV's to be masculine. I'd say a truck is more of a masculine thing.

Red is obviously more masculine than light blue. If you think otherwise, it's because I made you feel more insecure about your sexuality. Just look at you squirm, you little girly man.

We didn't really need a study to tell us this... but it's good to have on that confirms it.

I love how stupid these "tests" are. It's like they're ripped right out of some teenage girl magazine.
