Amusing --- you confuse psychology or science.

"Precarious manhood (PM) theory" is suddenly science to you, eh?

If you can measure it, make experiments and make predictions it is (despite the lack of familiar test tubes) science.

The problem (in psychological sciences) has been measurement but that is changing rapidly with advances in MRI type scanning and the advent of large social networks where enough data can be gathered to get meaningful measurement.

The researchers suggest that the attraction to this type of uncompromising politics might be partly explained by a psychological concept called precarious manhood (PM). This concept posits that men are motivated to preserve their masculinity. When masculinity is threatened, men will engage in certain behaviors to reaffirm that they are “real men.” One way they might do this is by increasing their support for aggressive political policies. In three separate studies, the researchers tested this idea.

A first study surveyed over 500 American men and found that a measure of precarious manhood predicted support for policies considered politically aggressive, such as increased military spending and enhanced interrogation techniques. Precarious manhood was measured using the GRDS, a subscale of the Masculine Gender Role Discrepancy Stress (MGRDS) scale that evaluates men’s concern over not meeting masculine norms. Importantly, scores on the GRDS were related to increased support for aggressive policies, even after accounting for conservatism, Social Dominance Orientation, and Right-Wing Authoritarianism.

In a second study, DiMuccio and Knowles developed a list of search terms likely to be popular among precarious men (e.g., how to get girls). They then obtained Google Trends data pertaining to searches for these terms in the year before the 2016 presidential election. The researchers found that Trump earned a higher share of the votes in markets with more PM-related Google searches. Interestingly, this same relationship was not found when researchers conducted a similar analysis using the vote percentages of 2008 and 2012 Republican candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney.

Finally, a third study compared the popularity of PM-related search terms to the success of Republic U.S. House of Representatives candidates in the 2018 mid-term elections. The researchers found that Republican candidates had higher vote share percentages in districts where PM-related terms were heavily searched. DiMuccio and Knowles point out that this link between precarious manhood and support for Republican candidates seems to be a new phenomenon, given that no such links were found when looking at 2008 and 2012 Republican votes. The researchers say this may be down to Donald Trump’s heightened power as standard-bearer of the Republican Party.

Propaganda much?

Actually, the title of this thread should read “Insecure men are more likely to entertain gender reassignment surgery and vote for Leftists”.

Deep down, even you know the above statement is true.
