Wild. I would suspect that there are lots of women who simply aren't into the non-consent, and thus not reading. I'm surprised by the men who bother to send negative e-mail. Is it clear from the content of their mail that they read your story, or is it possible a drive-by condemnation?
a form of personality theory suggests a dominant-submissive continuum of personality. i believe that theory goes on to determine that men tend toward dominant personality, and women tend toward submissive personality. if all that's true, then it would make sense that women who responded were turned on by the text, and the men who responded were also turned on, but were conditioned to self-loathe that impulse.
that's not actually true at all, and when it does work out that way, there's very little way to separate out how much is because men and women are conditioned to be dominant/submissive, although the preliminary studies are showing a strong conditioning element and not "nature" at all.
It just seems weird that the average homophobic male would be masturbating to a story that another guy wrote.
is it any more weird than the vast majority of heterosexual men getting off to porn movies made by men and featuring other men having sex with the female stars?

"compared to women, men tend to act in more dominant ways". a discussion of the cause doesn't invalidate research identifying a correlation.
