Article here. Excerpt:

'A new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology is giving credence to what successful, single women have been saying for decades: men are intimidated by their female partners’ achievements.

The study, “Gender Differences in Implicit Self-Esteem Following a Romantic Partner’s Success or Failure,” was co-authored by University of Florida psychology professor Kate A. Ratliff and University of Virginia psychology professor Shigehiro Oishi.

While intended to collect data regarding how those in heterosexual relationships view one another’s success, Ratliff and Oishi discovered that men’s self-worth — or self-esteem — disproportionately suffered when they perceived their female partners to be successful.'

... only one conclusion to any such study. If 100 studies showed women's successes had no bearing on their romantic partners' self-esteem, they'd be file-drawered. If there's a publicized study that asks if "women are better than men at _______", the conclusion is known before you read the story.
