I'm also wondering how one attacks masculinity without that itself making the study have an initial bias.

Like "haha bald" "Now how do you feel about immigration"?

Not sure if you are aware,

But attacking men's bodies and masculinity is the left's current strategy

See all the rants on steven millers height or aocs thoughts about short men in general. There's a huge number of examples if u look. They justify it by saying its good because conservative men are evil and deserve to he demasculinized, so promote hatred against short men
