Men who identify as “completely masculine” three times more likely to have contracted covid compared to other men. They’re also more likely to be afraid of the vaccine and masks.

Men are not the problem, masculinity is. The who don’t identify as “completely masculine” had almost the same rates of reported covid and health behaviors as women. The biggest predictor of men’s behaviors is not their gender, it’s how they view it.
This data not depressing, it’s great news because it means men’s view of masculinity is highly modifiable. Just look at the way women have changed their understanding of their gender and how it’s changed the world for the better. Positive change is possible!
