UK: 'Toxic masculinity’ on rise with most young women scared of men their age

Article here. Excerpt:

'Most young women are scared of men their age, according to a poll which reveals the impact of so-called “toxic masculinity” on the sexes.

Nearly two-thirds of women aged 18 to 24 are living in fear of their male peers, research by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) found.

With International Women’s Day on Saturday, a Whitestone Insight survey commissioned by the think tank found that 62 per cent of young women believe most young men are “pretty frightening”.

More than two-fifths of young men (41 per cent) agree with their female counterparts.

The finding features in Lost Boys, a study published by the CSJ that details the plight of Britain’s boys and young men.

Not only are males now falling behind females in education and the workplace, but they are also increasingly viewed with suspicion by women.'
