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?
It’s always fun to read headlines like that in the company of viral tweets like this, and try to mentally trace the outlines of what a publicly acceptable masculinity would look like to 25-40 year old white westerners.pic.twitter.com/vwbfJ3vGAX
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
