This video is brought to you by a donation from Mr. Anonoymous and he wants me to cover an article called "What Fragile Masculinity Looks Like at Work. The article shows research explaining why men are more likely to engage in so called harmful behaviors when our gender identity is being questioned. Of course we are more likely to act out. Women are afraid of social consequences. Men are less driven to care what others think and we are on average less agreable than women. That's nothing new. If you call a woman a lesbian she's not going to care or show you that she cares as much as a straight man that's called gay. Usually it's only the men that have done the work to know who they are and accept themselves regardless of what other people say that do the best. The article delves specifically how men react when their masculinity is threatened in the workplace. The article asks what organizations can do to reduce threats against men's masculinity at work. Not because they want to help men but because they want to reduce the harm caused to everyone else. I guess you only help men when it also helps women. They did a study with 500 working adults in the USA and China and found that when men's masculinity was called into question they would withhold help, steal company property and lie for personal gain. Men are threatened by the potential of things like metoo and being called toxic cis gendered males so they decide to go their own way from whamen at work. Wah! Who's going to help me with my work? Why are men withholding their mentoring services. I can't get through that glass ceiling as a strong indendent woman without a man. Wah! The article tries to figure out why women don't act out the same way as men. I already explained it. It's because only 40% of men are agreeable when compared to 60% of women. Women get upset too but they just go home and cuddle with their cat and medicate themselves into ignorance. But the article says it has to do with men feeling a lack of autonomy when experiencing a masculinity threat. Men myself included don't like being told what to do. We get grumpy when people ask us to do things in a way they want things to get done. Men are like cats it's impossible to herd us and when you do it successfully we aren't happy. The article says that women are more communal and I agree. So men associate their masculinity with autonomy. We attempt to reassert our sense of autonomy by cheating, stealing, breaking rules, being passive aggressive and of course most importantly for women withholding help. The article says that employers need to acknowledge fragile masculinity. I don't know about you but telling guys their masculinity is fragile kind of undermines it. You're just pointing it out even more. How about just shutting up about it and letting men finish their work in peace. But women in the workplace like drama so saying that they want to help men is just stirring the pot. Their plausible deniability is that men need to recognize and break free from this pattern. No doubt to go back to helping women in the workplace because metoo messed things up. I'll discuss more in a moment but let me first tell everyone about today's sponsor The MGTOW Book Collection Part 2:
