	Heterophobia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heterophobia is a term used to describe prejudice or discrimination against heterosexuals, usually in the context of the heterophobic person being homosexual or bisexual.
		Yet heterophobia may be one of the root contributors in the etiology of homophobia, as Noonan argued in 1998.
		Heterophobia may also be an intentionally subversive use of language made generally by more conservative position in LGBT debates, to counteract perceived pejorative bias of the term homophobia.

	Heterophobia - Heterophobia
		In Heterophobia its original sense, the term meant "fear of difference", and encompassed any fear of people who were different from oneself, such as racism, anti-Semitism, sexism or homophobia.
		In its modern use, heterophobia most commonly refers to a rare but documented psychological condition in which a heterosexual person has an extreme fear of the opposite sex which severely disrupts their ability to have a sexual life.
		Heterophobia is also used to describe perceived prejudice or discrimination against heterosexuals, usually in the context of the heterophobic person being homosexual or bisexual.

		But, while she concedes that hardcore heterophobia is "an admittedly minority position within feminism," she makes a convincing case that its ideas and its rhetoric have infected the crusade against sexual harassment, with its presumption that male sexual interest demeans and endangers women.
		Heterophobia is a powerful brief for personal freedom and against efforts to politicize human relations and strip them of their complexity.

	Review of Nadine Strossen's "Heterophobia" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Her provocative thesis is this: within radical feminism there is a group of scholars and activists who view heterosexuality and heterosexual behavior as inherently oppressive to women.
		The genius of Heterophobia is to demonstrate how the extreme views of these radical feminists underpins much of the current regimen of sexual harassment.
		As Patai notes, the SHI is not simply interested in stopping this or that particular incidence of sexual harassment but rather many of its advocates seek a total transformation of society through regulation of sexual expression.

	Heterophobia
		A scathing criticism of political and sexual "correctness," this thought-provoking and powerfully argued book is sure to incite debate among all concerned with the legacy and future of woman's rights.
		Once confident in the potential of feminism to create a more equitable and just society, Daphne Patai persuasively demonstrates in Heterophobia how the efforts of some feminists - members of what she calls the "sexual harassment industry" - have created an environment that stifles healthy and natural interactions between the sexes.
		The tremendous growth of sexual harassment legislation represents feminism's greatest contemporary success, but this victory has dubious consequences - a world where kindergarten boys face legal action for kissing female classmates and men are sued by coworkers for offenses such as unwanted hugs, uninvited compliments, or glances that last too long.

	Author Assails Heterophobia: The Washington Times: Education, Culture, Families, Fatherhood, Kids
		A longtime feminist charges that "heterophobia" -- which she defines as "fear and antagonism" toward men and heterosexuality --is driving much of today's sexual-harassment law and policy.
		"Heterophobia: Sexual Harassment and the Future of Feminism," says the roots of heterophobia lie in "extremist" feminist literature, with which she became familiar when she was a professor of women's studies at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
		Patai says "heterophobia" is the engine behind "some truly dreadful" sexual-harassment laws and policies she says are sweeping the nation, on college campuses and in the workplace.

		But while she concedes that hard-core heterophobia is "an admittedly minority position within feminism," she makes a convincing case that its ideas and its rhetoric have infected the crusade against sexual harassment, with its presumption that male sexual interest demeans and endangers women.

	Dr. Ray Noonan's 1999 Conference Presentations
		In the sexological literature, heterophobia first seems to have appeared in print in the controversial 1990 book by Eichel, Kinsey, Sex and Fraud, in which he devoted a chapter to the "new" concept of "heterophobia," although I recall having heard and thought about it in the early 1980s.
		In Heterophobia: Sexual Harassment and the Future of Feminism, Daphne Patai tied the concept to what she called the Sexual Harassment Industry (SHI), which was being used, she argued, to separate men and women for often personal or political gain or self-interest.
		Describe heterophobia and the differences and similarities between it and related phobias, such as homophobia, biphobia, sexophobia, and erotophobia.

	Alt.sex.conference II: 1998 Program
		An example of the result is heterophobia, a generalized sex-negativity that has crystallized around heterosexual behavior—particularly against heterosexual males—and especially against heterosexual intercourse.
		Often allied with others who believe their perspectives and needs are also not being heeded, they often seek to create a political movement that would place their group as the one that defines social norms and entitlements in opposition to the groups perceived as enemies.
		Heterophobia has been defined in various ways, from a fear of things different (such as other cultures) to the reverse of homophobia, only with heterosexuals as the target.

	Anglican Mainstream » HETEROPHOBIA: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT…
		While those who perpetrate physical and moral violence against homosexual people are rightly viewed as criminals, lamentably, it seems that those who simply “love the sinner but condemn the sin” may be tarred with the same brush.
		Social scientists have already analysed a new cultural phenomena known as heterophobia: the hate, rejection, ridicule, intimidation, and systematic condemnation of whoever disapproves the gay agenda or reaffirms normative traditional heterosexual values.
		In practice, this would mean for example, in the case of a church hall rented to the general public, one would no longer have the legal right to withhold that space from a group of homosexuals.

		I hold that the concept of homophobia is fallacious, and that, in fact, the opposite of homophobia, “heterophobia” is a more pressing concern.
		I first encountered the phrase Heterophobia as the title of a book, but only its title, and not its contents, is what will be explored in the paragraphs below.
		Before beginning, it is readily conceded that many homosexuals are little different from the rest of us in the way in which they work hard, wish to be left alone, and desire quiet and peaceful lives.

	Deborah S. Smith - Where Do We Go From Here?
		Heterophobia is the fear of being treated badly by heterosexual people.
		The fear may include fear of physical harm, loss of job, loss of friendship, loss of respect, or fear of moral judgments, religious or political persecution, or continued curtailment of individual civil rights.
		I say less, rather than no heterophobia, because fears and cautions that have been learned deeply and lived for a lifetime require time and safety to erase.

		I admit that I am particularly tired of having to pledge allegiance to the institution of heterosexuality before I criticize any particular practice that someone deems sexual; but I am even more tired of being accused of hating men because I think women are important in our own right.
		As it stands, Heterophobia may actually tell us more about the specific practices, conventions, internecine battles, and continuing resentments that prevail at Patai’s particular institution than about sexual harassment, feminism, or the future.
		Although I am relieved by Littleton’s declaration that she doesn’t hate men, this does not alter the fact that many feminists not only interpret heterosexuality as a patriarchal imposition, but also explicitly blame it for virtually all the ills of the world.

		And so, as logic would dictate, the definition for heterophobia (should such a word exist) would also indicate an unreasonable fear.
		Munro even admitted in his letter that there are reasons for "heterophobia" that need to be recognized- I can only assume that he is referring to gay bashers and the like.
		After all, it is the twisted nature of fear and intolerance that spawn most of the world's heartache.

		I use the term "heterophobia" in my book because I feel that it captures in a nutshell the key problem that is driving a great deal of the legislation about sexual harassment.

		I believe heterophobia has played a tremendously strong role in making people accept some truly dreadful laws and policies.

	blony - Male/Female Differences
		Since there is evidence that there have always been homosexuals and, in some periods in some societies, various degrees of acceptance of homosexual relationships, including early Christian marriages - it is pretty obvious that homosexual-preference is simply an indigenous variety of the nature of homo-sapiens.
		We've argued that homophobia in some contexts is little different than is heterophobia in those same contexts.
		The aversion of the military to gays has nothing to do with their proficiency or professionalism at work - it's simply no different from heterophobia in everyday living conditions of imposed intimacy and lack of privacy.

	Crosswalk.com - Fired Catholic a Victim of 'Heterophobia,' Group Says
		Maryland Republican Gov. Robert Ehrlich, who had appointed Smith to represent the state on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) board of directors in June 2004, fired him after Smith commented on a local cable show.
		In a statement on the firing, Ehrlich called Smith's comments "highly inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable" and said they were in contrast to the governor's "commitment to inclusiveness, tolerance and opportunity."
		But the Washington-based group, which advocates the idea that homosexuals can change their sexual orientation and become "ex-gay," said Smith was a victim of Graham's "heterophobia."

	Corvidean » Dumenco’s Heterophobia
		Any group seeking integration into mainstream society is quickly accused of plotting to reconfigure the status quo, in their own best interest, at the expense of the priviledged.
		And, in the end, their homophobia and heterophobia make them perversely complementary shadowboxing partners — each lashing out at an enemy who’s not really there.
		I don’t see why the harmful effects of oppositional identity have to be characterized as “lashing out at an enemy,” unless it is somehow important to maintain the opposition itself through some serreptitious insertion of paranoia.
