Teachers whose masculinity is challenged become teachers at Cornell!!!

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.
this is BS
I read an artical recently that republicans live longer, are happier, and have better sex lives. That's I believe, this is just a bunch of libs trying to shame people into shuting their mouths.
Hey, I think this is a good thing. A lot of feminists challenge the masculinity of young males. The males react by becoming MORE macho. That sounds good to me. Challenge them on a daily basis, "ladies".
Forget that the authors think that is bad.
Well, I can only speak for myself, but here's what challenges my masculinity...
A beautiful woman meeting me at the door in lacy bra and panties, beer on ice, and my favorite meal on the stove.
I really hate that.
So in the end, we find out that men prefer to BE MEN. Not some watered down, lilly livered linguini spined liberal douche.
My shock is only outdone by my sarcasm.
All seems perfectly natural to me. It's nature's way of preserving ALL species of animal life, even the human version.
Of course liberals think they can change all of this, and address our threats through "intellectual" persuasion.
Their hopeless naivete is our greatest enemy.
You mean they picked a car that is NOT represented in NA$CAR or driven by anyone from West Virginia?
Somebody call Bill France right away -- he's got to find out what went wrong!
(I hate NA$CAR and believe that real men drive in the American Le Mans.)

Bor-ing! He gets that every d@mn day living with me! ;)
I got it even without the /sarcasm tag. ;>)

Mu response to the above?....
I had a black "T" shirt made up with white lettering that says,"SOME THINGS ARE WORTH DIEING FOR!" :)
Why did you give a serious answer to something that's clearly a joke?
Ahh, another attack on being a man - it really means you doubt yourself and are a snivelling wimp on the inside. Any bets on the floppiness of the wrist of those who came up with this tripe?

It's getting hard to differentiate between a snotty comment from a conservative and a sincere statement from a brain-dead liberal.
Yeah, the DU types have tried to infiltrate. Stay cool.
