Large-scale study by the Jacobs Center on Masculinity now published

Half of young men in Switzerland are concerned that “real men” are increasingly being marginalized in society. A large-scale study by the Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development at the University of Zurich (UZH) in collaboration with männer.ch shows how prevalent restrictive and dominance-based concepts of masculinity are. These ideas go hand in hand with misogyny, a propensity for violence, and opposition to gender equality. Prevention efforts should start in schools.
