Here’s what thousands of #Australian #men told us about modern #masculinity.
A study asked if they agreed with a #stereotypical #model of how to be a #man. Most didn't, but 1/3rd did.

@Susan_Larson_TN@mastodon.onlineIn this #model, #men are expected to always #act #tough, be #aggressive, take #risks, #Suppress their #emotions, be #stoic, #heterosexual, #homophobic, #transphobic, #misogynistic, and #dominant.
Also not surprisingly roughly 1/3 would also rate themselves as Conservative, while the rest of us might use the terms backwards or cavemen.
I openly reject it and am hostile to it, and to make a mockery of a model of chauvinism=masculinity, I be sure to post only profile pictures of myself when jacked to the gills working out, ironic like and such.
Aint life grand?
