To see whether people's attitudes tend to change when they're made to feel insecure about their sexuality, in the direction of stronger identification with gender stereotypes? The interesting thing to me is that *women's* attitudes weren't correlated to whatever femininity scores they were given. (As I read it, the subjects weren't made to feel insecure about their sexuality as in sexual preference, but in the more general sense of "manly" or "womanly.") I didn't get the sense that Willer drew any causal conclusions, BTW. My subject line was a bit of hyperbole to attract attention; sorry if it colored your reading of the article.
