This might change your opinion on the Northwestern Professor......
"On a book tour last spring and summer, Northwestern University psychology professor J. Michael Bailey gave his audiences a sampling of recent scientific thinking about sexual and gender identity.

After playing audio recordings of four men's voices, Bailey asked: Which is gay? The crowds inevitably picked out the voice with exact articulation and lispy "S" sounds. Precisely! Bailey cheered.

His point: Determining somebody's sexual orientation is just that easy, just that obvious.

Needless to say, Bailey's brand of "queer science" has not met with cheers from GLBT (gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender) activists — nor from many fellow scholars, who see his studies as attempts to lend scientific credence to age-old stereotypes. "

5. So, where's the 'spot the whore' game? You just made that up, right?
Or am I really that bad at reading?

12. Really? I guess I am that bad at reading.
Because I read the linked article in the OP, and it didn't mention it at all. Come to think of it, maybe it was just a non-sequitor, interjected at the start of a thread, like I said.

3. If he's been in the news lately, I've missed it. Why should we have
an opinion on this guy? (Other than that he couldn't be more wrong.)

6. ok, now that's fucked up
I've known gay men who would not fit into the stereotype, so for him to make that conclusion is ridiculous.

9. The majority of gay men I've known wouldn't fit the stereotype.
Same goes for the women.

14. Thanks for the link
I did not know the professor was part of that whole pro-eugenics movement. He is a racist, a sexist and anti-LGBT.

That doesn't change my mind about the validity of human sexuality students observing a sex act.
