And why would one have to claim that? Why not say that there's some link between sexual repression and authoritarian politics - that sexually repressed people are more likely than others to be drawn to authoritarianism, and that authoritarians are more likely to favor a sexually repressive agenda - and leave universals out of it? It sure seems like a lot of authoritarians have promoted sexually repressive agendas.
