This
is
an
article
about
a
new
research
study
that
claims
that
adolescent
boys
become
aggressive
when
their
masculine
identity
is
challenged.
This
does
not
seem
to
me
to
be
an
earth
shaking
discovery
since
we
know
that
testosterone
produces
“threat
vigilance“
which
urges
the
male
to
defend
his
status
if
that
status
is
questioned.
What
caught
my
eye
was
that
there
was
no
mention
of
testosterone
in
the
article.
Even
in
the
actual
research
paper
testosterone
is
only
mentioned
once
at
the
very
end,
almost
as
an
aside.
It
seems
like
they
are
playing
to
the
crowd
here.
In
one
sentence
the
researcher
gets
in
a
mention
of
anti-social,
homophobia,
sexism,
political
bigotry
and
anti-environmentalism.
Wow!
They
found
all
that?
Um
no,
but
it
didn’t
keep
him
from
mentioning
that.
Here’s
a
quick
look
at
that
statement:
“Beyond
just
aggression,
manhood
threats
are
associated
with
a
wide
variety
of
negative,
antisocial
behaviors,
such
as
sexism,
homophobia,
political
bigotry,
and
even
anti-environmentalism,”
adds
Stanaland.
“Our
findings
call
for
actively
challenging
the
restrictive
norms
and
social
pressure
that
boys
face
to
be
stereotypically
masculine,
particularly
during
puberty
and
coming
from
their
parents
and
peers.”
Here’s
a
link
to
the
entire
article.
So
what
do
you
think?
Is
this
pure
honey
for
the
woke?
Please
do
have
a
look
and
let
us
know
what
you
think.
