The women had no discernable reaction to either type of feedback in a follow-up survey.
But the guys' reactions were "strongly affected," Willer said today.
"I found that if you made men more insecure about their masculinity, they displayed more homophobic attitudes, tended to support the Iraq war more and would be more willing to purchase an SUV over another type of vehicle," said Willer said. "There were no increases [in desire] for other types of cars."
Those who had their masculinity threatened also said they felt more ashamed, guilty, upset and hostile than those whose masculinity was confirmed, he said."
Esto podría ayudar a saber porqué los hombres están matando a tantas mujeres y gays recientemente: probablemente se sienten amenazados en su masculinidad, pero el truco, es que ellos olvidan que ellos mismos definen lo que es un "hombre". El problema es que viven con referencias del pasado, y valoran lo que piensan más los otros que ellos mismos. Michael Kimmerl es un gran estudioso del tema - que ha sido menos estudiado que los temas de mujeres en los estudiosde género. Su ensayo llamado La Masculinidad y la reticencia al cambio da mucha luz sobre todo ésto.
