But an anonymous male great body does nothing for most women. Yes, a favorite actor taking his shirt off can be a turn-on for women. Women aren't aroused solely by viewing a male leg, thigh, chest or backside of some male model or some anonymous male. On the other hand, unless a woman knows who the man is, and is interested in him in some way, women are not nearly as interested in looking at scantily clad - let alone naked - male bodies. Gay men are as interested in viewing unclothed fit young male bodies as heterosexual men are in viewing unclothed fit young female bodies. And not because of "socialization," as our universities teach, but because it is built in to male nature. There is no swimsuit issue featuring men in skimpy swimsuits because the audience for such a magazine would overwhelmingly consist of gay men.Īnd therein lies one proof of why the Cornell professor's question is so foolish. Now, even putting aside the fact that the readership of Sports Illustrated is overwhelmingly male, the question is unrelated to reality - the reality that our grandmothers and grandfathers, who never went to college, perfectly understood: In the human species, the visual excites males much more than it excites females. Yet a Cornell University professor of psychology and Stanford "gender scholar" actually asks: "Why has no one created a counterpart magazine featuring a scantily dressed man? Why are men so rarely offered up as objects to behold?" And you cannot get more false, indeed absurd, than to seriously inquire why there is no Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue featuring men in swimsuits. In order to be labeled a "gender scholar" - especially at a prestigious university - one must have internalized every falsehood our universities teach about men and women. The article, a compendium of learned nonsense, was written by a woman identified as "an assistant professor of psychology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and a former gender scholar at Stanford University." (I am not mentioning her name because, as with my callers, she is not the issue the contemporary university is.)

Without looking at the author's name or bio, I immediately assumed that a professor had written it. In order to say certain things that are so obviously foolish, one has to be taught them.Ī prime example is a CNN article published to coincide with the release of the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, "Why no Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue of men?" When they ask why I assume they attended graduate school, I respond, "Only someone who went to graduate school would say something that foolish."īecause it is never my intention to humiliate a caller, I always hasten to explain that my comment is not directed at the caller it is directed at our universities. On the happily few occasions when callers to my radio show make a particularly foolish comment, I ask them what graduate school they attended.
