Still looking. I think someone on one of the LJ communities <i>linked</i> to the article, but it was definitely off-site. Nope. Still looking.

The article focused on the Duke trial. No, I believe the writer of the article I’m referencing is named David something, and certainly didn’t have this particular argument attached to it.

If the definition of a heterosexual man is a male who is attracted to women, then most men today are barely heterosexual. Think about it. Nearly all the men I know are only attracted to about one in 10 women, that is, the 10 percent of women they consider "hot." The other 90 percent leave them cold. Doesn't that mean that they are 90 percent <i>a</i>sexual? And I'm not trying to be funny. If a man is not attracted to a woman, then he is not heterosexual. Period. And if he only attracted to a small fraction of the women he meets, then he is <i>fractionally</i> heterosexual. <div align="right"><b>[From <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50051" rel="nofollow">Asexual men and the creeps who live on campus</a> by Shmuley Boteach]</b></div></blockquote> The article mentions the Duke rape trial in the beginning, although I can't say that I agree with the argument Boteach is making.

I tried technorati, just in case, but all I came up with was people complaining about how "the only crime the boys were guilty of was being rich, white, heterosexual men." Ick.

I remember reading an article on the Duke rape trial that said something like, "If heterosexuality in men means men loving women, then the males involved in this trial are some of the least heterosexual out there." Any idea where that article is? My Google-fu is weak today.
