I can't get over this sentence no matter how often I read it.
"Women showed no effects when told they were masculine; however, men given feedback suggesting they were feminine expressed more support for war, homophobic attitudes, and interest in purchasing an SUV."
Applied practically in everyday life:
Car salesman:
Can I interest you in this much more expensive SUV?
Man:
Nah, I'm okay with this hatchback.
Car salesman:
Does perhaps your wife make the purchasing decisions in the family and I should be talking with her?
Man:
I'll take 7.
Well that first post took off, which I'd love to say had anything at all to do with me (😄} but is actually just really telling about the state of things. (😢).
Be kind to each other. (No, Joe Rogan bro, that doesn't make you less of a "man".)
They faked test results for half the men/women that indicated they were just inside the "average range of traits of [the other sex]".
The challenged men said they liked war more, disliked homosexuality more, wanted an SUV, and would pay $8k more for one.
The challenged women were ... unfazed.
But, women can't lead because they are emotional, right?
- an emotional man unable to control his shaking rage (guilt?), probably
This is all striking in a different way too. If the women are 'unfazed' this would imply that for both men and women, to be 'more masculine' (however masculine is defined and/or perceived) is something to strive for?
