Are racism, sexism, and homophobia form of psychopathology?

[Watoshi]

A simple answer would be Yes.

[Niur]

Considering that racism, sexism and homophobia are taught...then no.

Sanity is just institutionalized insanity.

[Central Slavia]

Consent is not just saying yes. It requires a sane adult mind. Children dont have enough grey material in their brains.
As for fetishism depends.
Froteurism is rubbing against unsuspecting people, so dont be dumb.
Gerontophillia is not necessarily a "deviation". Older people may like people their own age. Liking people your own age is not a "deviation".
Homosexuality is not relevant to any functioning either.
Shortly, u are just another homophobe. What surprises me is that why u come to these kinda threads.

Yet the last time i read, all of the previous ones were classed as deviations.

That would be 1940's?

As for gerontophillia it is sexual preference for people who are showing explicit signs of old-age degradation. So with two oldies getting it on (if he can get it up) it is not necessarily so, however if a man finds an old woman more attractive than one in the adult spectrum, there is something wrong there,

Up to 20% of the population (or more according to Kinsey) show a degree of homosexuality/bisexuality.
Whats the prevalency of gerontophilia?

Sorry but the kinsey report has been extensively criticised as overrating and allowing for selection bias.
As far as rhe first question goes, 40 years in error you are

1980's in Czechwhatever is like 1940's in North America.

As for 20%, its from 2010.

Which reports were those? I haven't heard of any reports being issued in 2010, especially since the year is only two months old.

Czechwhatever is still better than Fritzland ! (i can do national namecalling too!)
And i also doubt the last claim , although that would then suggest it is curable in efffect as most od the 20 % do not manifest it

[Greater Americania]

You are repeating yourself, ie: ignoring the part when I said they are using criteria established using empirical data.

Yeah, I am repeating myself because you don't seem to be realizing the fallacies that you're believing as correct. And criteria established through empirical data? Yeah, whereas criteria established through empirical data only means that it is observed that they hold these ideals, your empirical data is still purely ideology.

Many bisexuals repress it, yes. That has nothing to do with "curable". But as a homophobe, u are showing impaired functioning so I should stop this with u...

Showing a political opposition towards a group does not imply a phobia. I oppose you, but I do not fear you. I certainly do not fear you on irrational levels. In the same way, I doubt he or very many other people fear homosexuals.

Observer doesnt matter if it is a double blind study.

Making up years, good start. Not reading your own sources, great start...as to quote your own source, page 5:

"Instead, our findings were much closer to estimates [citations] of less than 4% of males (and less than 2% of females) being predominately non-heterosexual" (Ellis, Robb, & Burke, 2005, p. 578).

What the fuck are you talking about? Your criteria are purely ideological. You claim they are the result of empirical data. All that means is that it was observed that they hold the beliefs within the criteria. You're failing to connect the dots on how holding those beliefs actually makes them medically ill in the mind.

Yes, as a matter of fact, it is.

They are also forms of rank stupidity.

show a degree of homosexuality/bisexuality =/= being predominately non-heterosexual

Yes, pathological fear.

The word means an highly exaggerated or extreme illogical or irrational fear, as is explained within the dictionary link. I highly doubt most of the people he's calling homophobes have an extreme fear of homosexuals

On a side note, I love the fact that my internet browser doesn't recognize "homophobe" as a word and tells me I'm not typing anything grammatically correct.

[Greater Americania]

I'm gonna be the first to call bullshit on that little graph of yours and demand to know where it came from. I could make something like that on my computer using Microsoft Word.

What he calls 'Homophobes' are people I make fun of on a regular basis. Mostly because they tend to be more than just a little irrational. They pretty well scare themselves, on their own.

[Cradled Squads]

Cause this one is sorta dumb and I have an allergic reaction to idiots. I like the guy trying to educate the thread starter, but the thread starter him/herself is giving me hives.
