Less masculine men who are uncomfortable with their absence of manly qualities are on average more likely to commit physical assault, inflict injuries on others, and drive drunk (I was wondering what some radfem allies think of this).

Estrogen rage is a hell of a drug.

They therefore analysed the responses of 600 US men in 2012 to an online survey about their perceptions of male gender and how their own self-image fitted in with this, and risky behaviours.

Did 4chan hear about the online survey? How did they protect the quality of their data?

There was no association between discrepancy stress and average daily use of alcohol or drugs, but men who felt less masculine, and who weren't worried about it were the least likely to report violence or driving while under the influence.

Sounds like data dredging. How many components go to make up "discrepancy stress"? How many combinations did they test in order to obtain a statistically significant result.

I doubt this will replicate.

It says they felt less masculine not that they measurably were.

Likely they have just as much testosterone as the average man but because they don't see themselves as manly they haven't found a healthy outlet for it (or vice versa).
