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

Call me stupid, but if an activity doesnt actually involve sex, how can it be sexual violence?

If we accept their hypothesis that hunting is an activity that people prone to sexual violence can substitute for the criminal act, this leads to the exact opposite conclusion they draw. Bowhunting should be used as a form of rehabilitation for sexual predators.

If bowhunting is an activity that increases willingness to commit violent sexual crimes, why is the rate and overall incidence of such crimes far higher in urban areas which lack access to hunting activities altogether? Hunters are underrepresented in all criminal offender categories.
 
I have my special theory on leftist manhating females, especially humanities and social sciences professors:

You see, it is all about power. By design and on average, women are physically weaker. Also, human anatomy leaves the impression that it is the woman that is being "invaded" or "conquered" during intercourse.

Some women accept these differences and concentrate on things like feelings and motherhood. But, other women resent that (perceived) inferiority and come up with all sorts of crutches to support their crumbling egos, e.g.:

1) men are dumber
2) men are meaner
3) men are lustful dogs
4) men are untrustworthy
5) men are dirty pigs
etc. and therefore women are:

1) better
2) morally superior
3) emotionally intelligent
4) victims all the time and always

Such sense the power they can gain by media time and that is their source of both validation and support for their ego. Interestingly, this very mechanism of self-evaluation is what makes them least typically feminine. Also, hatred is a powerful source of energy and strength, albeit a self-cannibalistic one.
 
I remember having an argument with a feminist in college.

She stated anything longer than it is wide is phallic.

Men who engage in sports or activities with items that are longer than they are wide are acting out sexual aggression.

Billiards, cigar smoking, guns, sports cars, etc...

She was a complete loon with a severe case of man hatred. (forgot latin term)

Sounds like these "researchers" just took it one step further.
 
:eek: Was that John Kerry with a gun? :eek: I'm appalled, I thought he was anti-gun. Holy crap, I wonder what Sarah Brady has to say about this? I'd a never thought that John Kerry could of been a hyprocrite.....this is all sarcasm BTW.

In the last days of his pres. campaign, Kerry took time out for a quick hunting trip.

This didn't convince anyone he wasn't a gun banner. Hunting shotguns are legal almost everywhere in the world, including Japan and the UK. Obviously he wants to get us to having Japanese-style gun laws, which wouldn't be a problem for that shotgun he has. So he didn't fool anyone. No one believed he was pro-gun. And his actions probably also pissed off anti-hunting people. So he lost the election. The Dems will keep on losing elections until they learn to back off on this issue.

On another topic, nice looking shotgun he's got there. He doesn't look like he's naturally comfortable with such things, but hey, someone told him it would help him get elected!
 
Well, since I've never drawn any connections between hunting, and sexual abuse, and certainly haven't drawn any connections between my guns and things 'phallic' (which is new word to me that I wish I hadn't learned), I draw the conclusion that are far far more perverted and likely to commit sexual assault than myself. Also, they're pants were sewn by satan, always making them look (hah!) fat, I learned it by studying them girl magazines.
 
Three Michigan State professors said ...

And this was reported in a publication from University of Michigan.

This whole thing could be a prank, "Onion"-style. Just more UM-MSU shenanigans.

But maybe not. Those bums at U of M are too dumb to think up something this good.

Regards.

So at 10 below zero at 4:30 am when I walk to deer stand, I am suppose to have an errection? Wow! News to me! :p Stupid broads at Michigan State!
 
I had a few sociology and psychology classes myself while in college. Let's see if I can make heads or tails out of their article. :D

These 3 female MSU professors are expressing their suppressed subliminal fantacies as a hypothetical premise. They are in the process of working on a grant to establish a research project based on their premise, and they are in search of research subjects to further their study and interests in this academic area.:confused:

Probably makes as much nonsense as their article.:barf:

Did she write with a pencil or pen? :confused:

I also think that this reads more into the characters of the writers of this essay than the hunters themselves.

For example, If I'm going to write an essay about psychological implications and urges for hunting, I'm probably going to look more into the food-gatherer side of things than sexual.

Males have three roles:
1. Reproductive
2. Defend the family/group
3. Gather food

The specific order varies from male to male, various phases of life, and specific conditions.

Not everything is sexual.

Edit: And now that I think about it, the roles are pretty much the same for women, with just some major differences in the strategies...

Firethorn,

Yes, the roles are nearly similar.

Females have three roles:
1. Reproductive
2. Support the family/group
3. Cook the food

So, then, would an accidental discharge be like a premature ejaculation?
 
This thread should be merged with the General Discussion thread about how to blue a gun by urinating on it.

Both threads are destined for the same gutter at the side of the High Road.

I thought men went hunting to get away from women?:confused: :evil:

What if you took women hunting with you. It would sound a little like . . . .

"Look at this deer stand, it is just filthy. That milk jug is for what? Where are the guest towels? How could you use the guest towels to clean your rifle? Heaven forbid that you actually lift a finger to help me clean this deer stand!

Look at the neighbor's deer stand, why can't we have one like that? We would if you wouldn't sit around all day wearing camo with your buddies and looking through those cheap, awful binoculars that your mother got us! They are horrible and so is your mother.

I should have listened to my mother, Jason is a doctor now and has someone clean his deer stand and he has a summer deer stand on the lake.":D

Hunting is not a substitute for sexual aggression; it is a quest for QUIET!

Hilarious. Did she ever write using a pen? A pencil? Did she ever drive a car, ride in a bus, ride an airliner, operate the joystick on game in an arcade? Play putt-putt, hold a soda can, drink from a glass, WEAR PANTS, wear shoes, did she have strands of hair or ever eat a candy bar?

Why is it that one only comes up with stuff like this when it's totally useless to come up with stuff like this?

Well, it would explain why those three aren't teaching at one of the premier Michigan colleges :p

They're probably just mad that most of their class in one of those BS gen-ed classes that these people get to teach was missing from school the 15th.
 
Here's an abstract of the article.

Reading the Trophy: Exploring the Display of Dead Animals in Hunting Magazines



Linda Kalof

&

Amy Fitzgerald



Visual Studies, 18(2), 112-122



Hunting was not about getting enough vitamin B 12

(Donna Haraway, Primate Visions, 1989, 217)



Photographs of trophy animals in 14 popular hunting magazines were analyzed to explore the visual representations of dead animal bodies. We found multifaceted messages about the relationships between humans and other animals grounded in narratives of gender, race and embodiment. The visual representations of dead animal bodies are embedded in the taken-for-granted stories of love and affection for nature and wildlife that frame the contemporary hunting agenda, including the assumption that trophy displays memorialize the beauty of nature and natural animals. Disentangling ourselves from that dominant notion of what it means to display dead trophy animals was revelatory. Instead of love and respect for nature and wildlife, we found extreme objectification and marginalization of animal bodies. While we observed some elaborate displays of reassembled and carefully positioned dead bodies to appear as if still alive, a number of trophy exhibits hid the animal body behind or beneath weapons and other hunting equipment. The vast majority of the hunters in the images were white males, and when women or men of color were included in the photographs there presentations were usually consistent with gender and race stereotypes. Of these race/gender stereotypes the most interesting (and most symbolic of the patriarchal nature of the hunting discourse) was that neither women nor men of color ever held a weapon when they appeared in photographs with white men.
