| 1 | New report reveals that young men are feeling "defensive, disenfranchised and uncertain"Yes, exactly. That's really what's missing! At least in a non-cliched way. I think it's easy to be performative about this. Just genuinely allow men and boys to thrive in whatever they choose... we're all just human, goddamn. But I don't believe the deficit is just in what roles we allow men and boys to inhabit. It's also a striking lack of empathy and care, especially for issues that men and boys are disproportionately affected by. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/09/25 12:02 AM |

| 50 | New report reveals that young men are feeling "defensive, disenfranchised and uncertain"This report disturbs me. It claims to support young men while operating from a framework that actively harms them. The report assumes male privilege exists and men just don't understand it, that when young men say they don't feel privileged while experiencing educational failure, massive suicide rates, homelessness, and lack of support services, they simply need more education about women's historical oppression. The whole thing has this message: men have potential to be better, to respect women… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/09/25 02:54 PM |

(Blasi & Mondéjar, 2018): Although the majority of men and women made the decision to save their offspring instead of their mate [from a life-or-death scenario], about 18% of men on average (unlike the 5% of women) consistently decided to save their mate across the four dilemmas in the two life-or-death situations.

| 3 | No Gender Bias in Audience Perceptions of Male and Female Experts in the News: Equally Competent and PersuasiveAbstract Experts are prevalent and persuasive in modern media coverage of politics. The perceived competence of experts makes them popular sources in the media, and their statements can in some cases move citizens’ policy opinions substantially. However, men are generally used far more as experts than women are. Because of this predominance of male experts and general biases against women, we theorize that media audiences may find women to be less competent and consequently less persuasive as ex… | /r/Male_Studies | 23/01/23 02:31 AM |

Given common gender stereotypes, we expect negative campaigning aimed at women candidates will affect citizens differently than negative campaigning against male candidates. The results of our study, derived from a survey experiment conducted on a nationwide sample of more than 700 citizens, demonstrate that negative commercials are less ef… | /r/Male_Studies | 21/01/23 11:49 AM |

Abstract Much work has been done to analyze the consequences of the increasing representation of women in politics. Usually, this research compares male and female politicians from a female perspective. For instance, many studies in political communication investigate how and why female candidates show campaign styles similar to or different from their male colleagues.

The present experiment employed speed-dating procedures to test a novel explanation for this sex difference: The mere act of physically approaching a potential romantic partner (vs. being approached), a behavior that is more characteristic of men than of women, increases one's attraction to that partner. This hypothesis was supported in a sample of speed daters (N = 350) who attended a het… | /r/Male_Studies | 15/01/23 10:42 AM |

This bias was consistently observed in six studies conducted in four different countries with a total of 3,137 participants. It was also found that people assume that women suffer more pain from their harm, even when they are in the perpetrator role, see male suffering as more deserved, fair and moral, feel more inclined to punish men and w… | /r/Male_Studies | 06/01/23 02:17 PM |

This is especially true regarding Mathematics, where a teacher penalty may translate into a failing grade, since the average teacher grade for boys falls right on the passing mark.

That's why I'm surprised about this paper, which suggests the opposite direction (i.e., anti-"male to male attraction" bias motivates anti-"male person showing femininity" bias), does it not?

| 1 | Differential Reactions to Male and Female Gender-Role Violations: Testing the Sexual Orientation HypothesisTrue, but not all norm-breaking behaviors carry the same (negative) weight. There seem to to be interactions between the type of role-breaking behavior and the gender of the dissenter.

| 6 | Differential Reactions to Male and Female Gender-Role Violations: Testing the Sexual Orientation HypothesisAccording to the sexual orientation hypothesis, this asymmetry in evaluations occurs because the feminine characteristics taken on by males when they violate gender roles are more closely tied to perceived sexual orientation than are the masculine characteristics of gender-atypical females.

But I don't see how we can link it back to feminism or a greater focus on women's rights in general. A cursory glance at the report suggests that they were referring to the Afghan situation only.

Given what we know about IPV (which Oncefa2 discussed above), I believe that most IPH occurs in the heat of the moment. And, because men are much stronger than women, they are more likely to accidentally kill their partner; or so the logic goes, which has some flaws because women do use weapons. On the other hand, women have a greater ability to use what's called "administrative violence" (e.g., using the… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/08/22 11:50 PM |
| 1 | How gendered is intimate partner homicide?There are even studies showing that witnesses of violence towards men remember it as less and less serious over time while witnesses to violence towards women [do not] remember it as less and less serious over time.

| 3 | How gendered is intimate partner homicide?Yes, but you have to ask yourself relative to what. In the case of police shootings, the percentage is relative to the population size. When it comes to IPHs, the percentage is relative to another statistic. It's in no way comparable. More men kill their spouse than women because they murder more overall. If you want to claim that there is some underlying factor that causes men to murder more in general, including in intimate partner contexts, you'll need more evidence. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/08/22 02:24 AM |
| 3 | How gendered is intimate partner homicide?The disagreement is that women are not, in absolute numbers, way more likely to kill their male partners than men are to kill their female partners (at least according to the data we have, which might be flawed because it e.g. doesn't account for murder by proxy). Yes: Women "specialize" in IPV while men are "general" offenders, if you will. Relative percentages are misleading. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/08/22 12:35 AM |

| 7 | How gendered is intimate partner homicide?It does seem to suggest a 1:2 ratio of male to female victims. It even has separate % values for victims ratios and perpetrator ratios, so murder by proxy can be dismissed as a factor if you simply look at the victim ratios. You can't simply dismiss murder by proxy. These cases would not be counted in the "intimate" column but somewhere else (maybe 'stranger' or perhaps 'acquaintance' if the victim and proxy killer knew each other).

Female non-sentencing evaluators (not judges) evaluated attractive men more harshly. For women the effect was reversed, so that attractive women are judged less harshly than non-attractive women. Overall men, whether attractive or not, were judged more harshly by either gender than both attractive and unattractive women. Interestingly, sentencing evaluators judge the same sex more harshly, although the effect was not that strong. That m… | /r/Male_Studies | 22/06/22 10:29 PM |

Results showed three tendencies: (a) a “same-sex penalty effect”: sentencing evaluators (judges, jurors) evaluated a defendant of the same gender as the evaluator, more harshly than one of the opposite gender, (b) a “male penalty effect”: non-sentencing evaluators (police officers, counsels for the defence, prosecutors, and l… | /r/Male_Studies | 20/06/22 10:42 PM |

Sex differences and the impact of mate value, sex of perpetrator, and sex of targetAbstract The #MeToo movement has drawn attention to sexual harassment in the workplace. Using an adaptationist approach, two studies were designed to investigate sex differences in perceptions of a sexually ambiguous comment and individual differences that may explain variation in those perceptions. Study 1 (n = 179) was a within-subjects study to investigate whether there is a sex difference in perceptions of sexual harassment and whether sex of speaker/target influences these perceptions.

By comparison, the proportion of males and females in the general population is almost equal and was 49.3% males (41,037,613) and 50.7% females (42,129,098) in 2019.

But if the results of this meta-analysis I posted are true, and you seem to agree that they are, then T has no effect on aggression so that the level of DHT in the average male (by acting as a mediator between T and aggression) also has no effect on aggression.

| 1 | Erasure of Sexually Monogamous Human Men in evopsych. If "males" are "supposed to want to impregnate everything that moves" then why are there so many men who latch onto just one woman/partner and spend their entire life force on them?In my opinion, a lot of these 'explanations' for why women cheat are just excuses. Additionally, I don't think wanting sex is the only animalistic thing that could drive someone to cheat. Wanting an exciting partner in general or a partner with better financial prospects is just as worldly as the desire for sex. So even if it turns out that men cheat more out of a desire for sex with different partners than women, the implication isn't necessarily that women are better people (especially not if … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/03/22 05:10 PM |

| 3 | Dominance and heterosexual attraction.Does this lend credence to the idea that "women like jerks"? I think not necessarily, as "the effect was specific to dominance as an independent variable and did not occur for related constructs (aggressive or domineering)". Maybe "being a jerk" positively correlates with "being dominant", but they are not the same.

| 4 | The Gender Empathy Gap is realNot sending women into combat does discriminate against some women, that is, a minority of women (those who want to engage in battle and have a military career). However, focusing solely on the negative consequences for women ignores the far bigger disadvantage faced by the vast majority of men who are forced into a war against their choice. Women are immune from being forced into battle, but men are not.

| 2 | On the Gender Empathy Gap and its correlates: a comprehensive collection of resources (Part I)Unfortunately, our brains evolved to warp our perceptions of the suffering of men and women; people more easily cast men in the role of perpetrator and women in the role of victim. As a result, people have much more empathy for women than men and see them considerably more positively. This has real-world consequences. For example, men receive a longer sentence for the same crime and criminal history.

Why are there NO campaigns and research against those crimes but many campaigns condemning things like rape/DV and even CATCALLING (catcalling is NOT half as brutal as robbery or aggravated assault)?In the UK: If you look at the number of women that were killed by someone they knew, relative to the number of women that were killed that number is high... but only because so many men get killed by strangers, bringing down the percentage of men that were killed by someone they knew relative to the total percentage of men that were killed. Absolutely speaking, men dominate even in the category of being killed by people who they know (18% for women and 27% for men, i.e. 3 men for every 2 women). | /r/MensRights | 11/11/21 11:38 PM |
