Sledge hammered?! SLEDGE HAMMER??!! Someone tell Ignorant Fuckwit Commentor #1 that you can’t use a fucking sledge hammer for metalwork. Knocking down walls, fine. Hammering stakes, fine. But forging hot metal?! My flabber is ghasted and I cannot even type an interrobang.
/SCA pedantry

To be fair, Marky did serve in the Navy as well…perhaps he’s pissed off that those damn vagina-havers ruined his special guy time?

Not killing, robbing, raping, etc., *only* because you fear that doing so will get you punished by someone (a god, a court of law, etc.) makes a person just about the lowest form of humanity.

No such term is needed, because pretty much all men are fascinated by lesbians.

( The horror! not )

Some people never grow out of the whole sibling-rivalry thing, unfortunately. Like it was Ms. Noonan’s fault that little Marky couldn’t pass the physical or the psychological tests!

As for the guy-on-guy voyeurs, I have been told that many women expect gay guys to be better eye candy. Nobody wants to watch Kevin James and Adam Sandler grope each other, shall we say, even though I’m sure those two fine comedians have no difficulty finding willing partners for their individual sexual fantasies.

And the nic we used for guys who liked to hang around lesbians was “Dyke Tykes”. (Or, thinking of the DTs I’ve known, “bears”.)

This is just Noonan playing a little semantic game. His preferred terminology–because it’s the terminology the church delivered to him–is that homosexuality is “inherently disordered.” It’s a perfect example of a distinction without a difference as revealed by his later comment that homosexuality is by definition not as moral as heterosexuality. “Hey, I never said they were less moral or sinful–I just said they’re inherently disordered!”

Oh, and his beef with his sister is not just that she had the gall to serve in the Navy while having a vagina and breasts, it’s also that she’s not a wingnut and she has a PhD, thereby triggering his fears of rationality and education.

Sort of. As in, “Distastes like a wino threw up in my mouth, only less cheesy.”

That whole bit about women not serving in “front line combat” is pretty ludicrous. I defy anyone to show me a map, of any scale, of Iraq or Afghanistan and point to the front lines. It’s all combat zone. Every woman serving there, regardless of their professional rating, is in combat.

That’s when you back away slowly, realizing that you’re talking with a sociopath who only hasn’t killed or raped you yet because he’s not smart enough to figure out the God thing is bullshit, and has no empathy or respect for other human beings.

Or, God simply hasn’t told him it is His will that he rape and kill.

Yet.

I’ve yet to see any proof that belief in God stops sociopaths from expressing their nasty little urges, but He sure does make a nifty excuse for the psychos. See for example The Inquistion, the Millennium Bomber, 19 freaks with box cutters, George W. Bush, etc, etc, etc.

That’s when you back away slowly, realizing that you’re talking with a sociopath who only hasn’t killed or raped you yet because he’s not smart enough to figure out the God thing is bullshit, and has no empathy or respect for other human beings.

Is it misogyny or misanthropy or a whole lotta projection?

It’s probably a triple play. Throw in self-loathing and you’ve got the whole enchilada platter.

Noonan…seems to argue that men, all men are such shag beasts, they will try to fuck someone even if bombs are going off right under their noses.

Which is some pretty sexist shit.

Noonan, like other “no women in combat, no gheys period” types seems to argue that men, all men are such shag beasts, they will try to fuck someone even if bombs are going off right under their noses.

Sure, it’s all over at http://www.hotgaysenatorsex.com.
Gah! Bwa! Hyai? Outed by the liberals again! I’ll have you know that Ann Althouse is my attorney! I can sue you!!! *sobs*

pedestrian: THANK YOU for this:
“Christ in a casserole, he centers his discussion on whether women should be equal participants on what effect it may have on men!”

My subliminal-patriarchal-linguistic detector picked that up as well.

Hmmmm, I’ve got to ponder that one, myself. Do you have pictures? Video? How about a checklist or evaluation form for me to quantify if it’s more alien and revolting; and, if so, how much more (or less)?

I’m happy to share my findings, and subject them to peer review.

As for Noonan – he never even leaves his freaking apartment.

Christ in a casserole, he centers his discussion on whether women should be equal participants on what effect it may have on men!

Thank you. My subliminal-patriarchy-detecting device picked up on that too, but my Hitlery® cattle prod is still recharging.

When he says, “most Americans”, he actually means, “most rich cowardly conservative old white men with bushy eyebrows”. I mean, Christ in a casserole, he centers his discussion on whether women should be equal participants on what effect it may have on men! I’m surprised that he is willing to allow women to study at universities, seeing as how it might distract the “real students”.

I’m willing to bet that a healthy proportion of his homophobia is rooted in misogyny. I’m sure that he finds my gay sex only marginally more alien and revolting than your vagina.
