Was the coda to the cry "...some of us are dykes?" If not, then oh urgh.
They only surveyed male and female college students in heterosexual relationships (or maybe just mixed-sex, I'm not sure) for their first study. For the second study, they recruited through websites and then they took out all the queers. But fear not! Even with such a methodology, they were able to conclude that: "Among women, there were virtually no relationships between feminism and heterosexuality, r=-.07, ns, or sex appeal r=-.03, ns. There was a small but reliable tendency for female feminists to be more (rather than less) likely to be in a relationship, r=.10, p<.01. Thus, we found no support for Hypothesis 5. On the contrary, negative feminist stereotypes appear to be inaccurate, and thus, their unfavorable implications for relationships unfounded."
So basically, "As in Study 1, our focal analyses were conducted only on heterosexuals who were currently in a relationship." Which somehow translates to proving that feminists aren't likely to be icky lesbians. Which is certainly statistically true from their sample.
