My very quick summary:
Anti-male bias dwarfs bais based on race, class or age.

Abstract:

Little is known about implicit evaluations of complex, multiply categorizable social targets. Across five studies (N = 5,204), we investigated implicit evaluations of targets varying in race, gender, social class, and age. Overall, the largest and most consistent evaluative bias was pro-women/anti-men bias, followed by smaller but nonetheless consistent pro-upper-class/anti-lower-class biases. By contrast, we observed less consistent effects of targets’ race, no effects of targets’ age, and no consistent interactions between target-level categories. An integrative data analysis highlighted a number of moderating factors, but a stable pro-women/anti-men and pro-upper-class/anti-lower-class bias across demographic groups. Overall, these results suggest that implicit biases compound across multiple categories asymmetrically, with a dominant category (here, gender) largely driving evaluations, and ancillary categories (here, social class and race) exerting relatively smaller additional effects. We discuss potential implications of this work for understanding how implicit biases operate in real-world social settings.

Dr. Thomas Curry has a lecture, recently uploaded, talking about how 'Super Masculinization' is an integral part of the dehumanizing and caricaturizing of black males, allowing for easier application of lethal state violence, per Dr. James Sidanious' Social Dominance Theory/Subordinate Male Target Hypothesis.

You must be male and othered as the core aspects of virulent prejudice, but many will try to spin this as an argument that 'Racism doesn't actually matter'.

Flaired as "Psychology" and stickied for 1 week. Nice find.
