"Anxious Masculinity" -- A Psychoanalysis of Republicans and Bush

BuzzFlash: how would you define "anxious masculinity?"

Stephen J. Ducat: "It's a culture based on male domination... in which most things feminine tend to be devalued, even if they are secretly envied."

"In such a culture, the most important thing about being a man is not being a woman... This makes disavowing the feminine in oneself and projecting it onto one’s opponent to be especially important. This... femiphobia constitutes a very significant motive for fundamentalist terrorism."
