Michigan State Profs say hunting is substitute for sexual violence....

Wasn't the original title of this article "White Men Can't Hunt?"

I remember having an argument with a feminist in college.

She stated anything longer than it is wide is phallic.

Guess she wasn't a vegetarian, what would she eat?
Carrots, nope.
squash, nope.
green beans, nope.
bananas, nope.
nuts? my guess is NOPE.

Nut jobs like this give my field a bad name.

...but publishing crap like this is shameful. ...

Well they're on a university payroll, so they must "publish pr perish". The nuttier it is the eaiser it is to get published. Now, think of this, not only those profs, but hrere's an editorial review board that approves the articles. This means that there's nuts we don't even know about.

It should be remembered that these softcore clowns (or clownesses??) are in the scientific equivalent of the Middle of Nowhere. As such, they should not be taken as representative of academia in general. In particular, academics in the exact sciences, especially the most successful ones, are as conservative as they come.

Isn't it interesting how failure breeds leftism?

One wonders what kind and how much recreational drugs have to be ingested to make this stuff up.

The authors are sociologists and the journal is not one of the standard psychology journals of quality. The methodology is suspect and it is full of a Freudian model long abandoned by most modern personality theorists.

One can read some quite good views of guns, hunting, etc. by

Stange and Oyster - Women and Guns
Abigail Kohn - Shooters
McCaughey - Real Knockouts

All published by quality university presses.

Also research in real journals have found little differences in personality between shooters and nonshooters. The proposed differences are speculation from a political agenda.
