Manopause
When men root manhood in sexual performance, their inability to get and maintain an erection (i.e. erectile dysfunction) may pose a threat to ageing men's ability to enact masculinity. Using data from the 2015-2016 National Social Life, Health and Aging Project (NSHAP) - a nationally representative survey of the USA - this study finds that age and erectile dysfunction interact: men who report 'trouble getting or maintaining an erection' have a hi…
Subordination to Women, Anger, and Endorsement of Violence Against Women
Using Agnew’s (1992) general strain theory (GST), we assess the connection between men’s strained masculinity (stress at subordination to women scenarios), anger produced by strained masculinity, and endorsing friends’ harassment and abuse of women. In a convenience sample of 859 men aged 18 to 32, men who report greater strain and anger in response to hypothetical scenarios and men higher in trait anger are more likely to endorse friends’ violen…
“The Perfect Aryan Housewife”
Despite rhetoric on the association between violence against women and extremist violence, little empirical work has examined the intersection of these forms of violence. Relying on open-source data from the Extremist Crime Database, we examine how these forms of violence intersect in terms of a strained dominant masculinity. Among the 54 extremist offenders with documented histories of violence against women, extremist offenders committed famili…
Protecting Manhood
Using an original self-report survey of 18- to 30-year-old men, this study aims to understand gendered processes underlying men's attitudes toward guns and aggressive behavior through two types of threats. We find that acceptance threat, a threat to an individual man's sense of masculinity, and status threat, the belief that societal changes disadvantage men as a group, are positively associated with both men's attraction to guns and their aggres…
Masculinity Threat, “Incel” Traits, and Violent Fantasies Among Heterosexual Men in the United States
The current study aims to shed light on how masculinity threat and challenges from women translate into fantasies of mass and gender-based violence. These attitudes are evident among some self-proclaimed “incels,” who blame social liberalism, feminism, and sexually active men for their rejection from women. We developed a measure of “incel” traits, which was administered in an online self-report survey of 18- to 30-year-old heterosexual men in th…
