FYI, this article doesn't even manage to defend its own headline, somewhat misrepresents a bunch of studies that are largely about impulse control/delinquency rather than masculinity & fails to provide a definition or even a single sample item for "toxic" or "hostile" masculinityhttps://twitter.com/FiveThirtyEight/status/1124395719077634048 …
Join me on a dig through the references, which eventually brought me to a 1991 paper that conjured a "hostile masculinity" factor by cobbling together three different measures of questionable validity because god knows why https://www.researchgate.net/publication/21199598_Characteristics_of_Aggressors_Against_Women_Testing_a_Model_Using_a_National_Sample_of_College_Students …https://twitter.com/GuanGarry/status/1124896055915634691 …
AFAICT, a high score on this "hostile masculinity" factor indicates an actual narcissist who openly admits to coercive behavior & says "yup" when asked if he's suspicious of women who are friendly. So, yeah, basically the same as a guy who didn't LOVE the Gillette ad, I guess
In fact, the story all of this evidence seems to tell is that alcohol use has a *profound* impact on sexual assault prevalence, but in large part by mediating the impact of narcissistic/antisocial/low-empathy traits + impulse control + a genuine hatred or distrust of women
...which is not surprising at all if you believe — as I do — that it's pretty likely that most men would never rape anyone.
What even is toxic masculinity?
Very sad to see FiveThirtyEight jump on such a pseudo-scientific bandwagon.
The question on my mind is why 538 posted this.
Toxic masculinity is when a man does something that I don't like
