There's a lot more than just the OP's study on this thread. Take your pick. Find your own and show us.

No problems, bro.

Beyond its potential effects on women, would exposure to the female sex object gender subtype influence
body perceptions among men? If the female sex object subtype heightens men’s beliefs that women are flirtatious and seductive, this may increase the salience of the perceived characteristics of men (e.g., a muscular physique) to which women are attracted. Thus, such ads may increase men’s awareness of and concerns about their own bodies and thus increase body dissatisfaction among men. Finally, it may be that TV ads that portray
women as sex objects also portray especially attractive, athletic, or muscular men (at least relative to comparable ads that do not employ the female sex object subtype) and thereby cause men to feel insecure about their bodies through social comparison. If this is the case, such sexist ads may exert a similar influence on men’s beliefs and satisfaction with their bodies.

Point well taken.

Steppin' off yer jewels now.

The study took 17 low testosterone women and then generalized their reactions to make articles about how difficult men are.

No... just keep drinking the kool aid.

"We'll have you all dead pretty soon."

Those are lyrics from a coheed and cambria song by the way, not a threat or anything like that BTW.

edit on 2-2-2012 by thehoneycomb because: (no reason given)

thanks for the explanation - but I wasn't worried

I totally get that wishing socialists dead is just a pleasant and harmless pastime for some :-)

How deeply entrenched is this thing?
