There's an awful lot of misogyny wrapped up in Dobson's brand of homophobia - I think lesbians genuinely don't occur to him because he's so wrapped up in the idea of MEN ARE AWESOME, therefore SEX WITH MEN IS PROBABLY ALSO AWESOME, therefore IT IS SCARY AND PROBABLY ADDICTIVE AND THEREFORE IS WRONG.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

I think that's what I was trying to get at. Women are invisible in his doctrine. In more than one way - see his comment about 'outgrowing' mothers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. I think their world view goes like this: Men are better than women, so it sorta' makes sense that women might want to be like men (i.e. be butch and have sex with women (ignoring the fact that many lesbians are not butch)), but men wanting to be like women (their understanding, anyway) calls their whole world view into question....

why can't I find merino wool plain cardigans? I thought it would be a simple search, but it seems cashmere is the only option for wool.

Yes. That was the (first) point that enraged me.

Also, outgrowing women and living in a men-only world? Sounds kinda gay to me...

Secret Service picked up drunken Yeltsin during Washington visit
Boris Yeltsin got so drunk during a 1995 visit to Washington that Secret Service agents found him a few hundred feet from the White House clad only in his underwear and trying to hail a cab — because, he explained, he wanted a pizza.
The encounter and near international incident involving the former Russian President was revealed yesterday in a new oral history of Bill Clinton’s presidency, based on 79 taped interviews between Mr Clinton and the historian Taylor Branch during late-night visits to the White House.
...
The Yeltsin incident came after one of the former Russian President’s late-night drinking sessions. On the night in question, he was staying at Blair House, the guest quarters for foreign leaders visiting Washington, which sits directly across from the White House in Pennsylvania Avenue.
He managed to give his Secret Service detail the slip. Frantically looking for him, they found him in his underwear on Pennsylvania Avenue trying to get a taxi. He explained in slurred words that he wanted a pizza.
eta: Now I wanna know if he ever got his pizza....

Sounds like Sparta. What could possibly be gay about Sparta?
