    Like most of the avoidant stereotypes around men (especially stereotypes having to do with avoiding things that are feminine), I think it absolutely does boil down to misogyny.

        You’re going to need to explain your views if you want to engage in actual conversation here. How is the article misogynistic?

          You literally just agreed with me that this was misogyny. I asked how it wasn’t and you said that it was…

            We are talking about an article that covers research quantifying stereotypes about masculinity. These stereotypes are likely rooted in misogyny. If your claim is that talking about these stereotypes in an academic format is tantamount to misogyny you will not get far here. Did you read the article by chance?

              I think some people dont have the ability to separate the message from the messenger…

              In this case “observing stereotypes and reporting them” is equated to “promoting stereotypes”

                I think there’s probably a degree to which folks are taking it a little personally (being frequent posters). I think it’s notable how differently this has been received here versus over on reddit. I’ve noticed that quite a few articles that do fine over there are far more likely to be taken as personal attacks over here.
