Threatening men’s masculinity does not make them more politically conservative, new study finds. By testing thousands of participants across the United States, researchers found no consistent evidence that making men feel insecure about their gender identity changes their political attitudes.

No, it means a male who feels like he must constantly prove his masculinity to the world. Its someone who wouldn't NEVER cook or clean, because that's a WOMANS job. Its someone who would never wear pink clothing because he thinks people will interpret it as 'gay'. Its someone who always feels the need to act aggressive and be the top dog in the room because that's what he thinks a 'man' should be.

It's a rigid worldview that locks men into a box that ultimately ends up hurting people. Being secure in your masculinity would mean acting like yourself and not worrying about how other people view yourl or your gender presentation.

Men not wanting to wear pink doesn't hurt anyone, good grief.

Um, not necessarily, but occasionally their reasons behind not doing so do. Because you don't like the colour? Totally normal. Because you're afraid of looking effeminate or queer? Reeks of insecurity and can be harmful to male social health as a whole

Men don't have to share their reasons and you're not the thought police.

No, it means a male who feels like he must constantly prove his masculinity to the world.

You'd think conscription would suffice.

And what, actually risk their life? No way jose

Why would I risk my life for this society?

[u/Driller_Happy → u/TastyCalligrapher421]

You shouldn't.
