Why ‘toxic masculinity’ isn’t a useful term for understanding all of the ways to be a man

Richard Gater, Cardiff University

A new wave of research shows how working-class young men are changing their behaviour. But some remain hostile to the term “toxic masculinity” and see it as a vehicle for shaming men.

Online gaming communities could provide a lifeline for isolated young men − new research

Tyler Prochnow, Texas A&M University

For young men who struggle with mental health or lack connections in real life, chat and community features of online games can be a source of support.

What Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s canceled cage match says about masculine anxiety

Kristen Barber, University of Missouri-Kansas City

‘Performances of virility’ tend to coincide with beliefs that masculinity is either in crisis or under attack.

August 15, 2023

The orgasm gap and why women climax less than men

Laurie Mintz, University of Florida

Women have fewer orgasms than men. But this gap is cultural, not biological. Closing it is possible, both on a societal and personal level.

Barbie: 5 ways to be more like Allan than Ken

Jeff Halvorsen, University of Calgary

The Barbie movie has caused a media storm, even before the photo of the pink-clad Canadian PM and his son circulated on social media. Much of the conversation has zoned in on men and masculinity.

July 10, 2023

Why guys who post a lot on social media are seen as less manly

Andrew Edelblum, University of Dayton and Nathan B. Warren, BI Norwegian Business School

New research shows that frequent posters appear needy, which pushes up against the expectation that ‘real men’ be stoic and self-sufficient.

Does it matter if you sit or stand to pee? And what about peeing in the shower?

Christian Moro, Bond University and Charlotte Phelps, Bond University

The recent survey confirmed what many people think – men prefer to stand when peeing. But is that the best way?

Like father, like son: new research shows how young men ‘copy’ their fathers’ masculinity

Francisco Perales, The University of Queensland; Ella Kuskoff, The University of Queensland; Michael Flood, Queensland University of Technology, and Tania King, The University of Melbourne

This is an intuitive finding, but we had little empirical evidence of it until now. It highlights the critical role fathers play in steering boys towards healthier expressions of masculinity.

Lolita Alfred, City, University of London; Jayne Walker, University of Hull, and Lesley Smith, University of Hull

The art of balding: a brief history of hairless men

The draw of the ‘manosphere’: understanding Andrew Tate’s appeal to lost men

Ben Rich, Curtin University and Eva Bujalka, Curtin University

The manosphere may not strictly be centred on misogyny, but in young men’s search for connection, truth, control, and community at a time where all are increasingly uncertain and ill-defined.

November 23, 2022

Is your partner a man-child? No wonder you don’t feel like sex

Emily Harris, The University of Melbourne and Sari van Anders, Queen's University, Ontario

Men could be doing more around the house. And it’s affecting relationships in ways no-one has explored, until now.

‘Toxic masculinity’: what does it mean, where did it come from – and is the term useful or harmful?

Michael Flood, Queensland University of Technology

“Toxic masculinity” has been used to explain everything from the election of Donald Trump to why Ross from Friends is awful. But what does it actually mean?

500K American men get vasectomies every year – a specialist explains the easy and reversible procedure

What makes people willing to risk their lives to save others?

Frank T. McAndrew, Knox College

Study after study has shown that men tend to be more willing to put themselves in harm’s way to help others. Why some men rise to the occasion – and others don’t – has been a bit trickier to pin down.

Roe v Wade: men benefit from abortion rights too – and should speak about them more

Stephen Burrell, Durham University and Sandy Ruxton, Durham University

In the wake of the US Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v Wade, it’s worth remembering that a man can benefit from the right to abortion many more times over his lifespan than a woman might.

Tucker Carlson pulls from an old playbook as he stokes anxiety about a masculinity crisis

Conor Heffernan, The University of Texas at Austin

Summary Read a brief summary of this topic Huang Mountains Huang Mountains Pine branch framing peaks in the Huang Mountains, Anhui province, China. China, country of East Asia. It is the largest of all Asian countries. Occupying nearly the entire East Asian landmass, it covers approximately one-fourteenth of the land area of Earth, and it is almost as large as the whole of Europe. China is also one of the most populous countries in the world, rivaled only by India, which, according to United Nations estimates, surpassed it in population in 2023.

Shanghai: Huangpu district Shanghai: Huangpu district Huangpu district in Shanghai at night. China has 33 administrative units directly under the central government; these consist of 22 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities (Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), and 2 special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau). The island province of Taiwan, which has been under separate administration since 1949, is discussed in the article Taiwan. Beijing (Peking), the capital of the People’s Republic, is also the cultural, economic, and communications centre of the country. Shanghai is the main industrial city; Hong Kong is the leading commercial centre and port. Within China’s boundaries exists a highly diverse and complex country. Its topography encompasses the highest and one of the lowest places on Earth, and its relief varies from nearly impenetrable mountainous terrain to vast coastal lowlands. Its climate ranges from extremely dry, desertlike conditions in the northwest to tropical monsoon in the southeast, and China has the greatest contrast in temperature between its northern and southern borders of any country in the world. The diversity of both China’s relief and its climate has resulted in one of the world’s widest arrays of ecological niches, and these niches have been filled by a vast number of plant and animal species. Indeed, practically all types of Northern Hemisphere plants, except those of the polar tundra, are found in China, and, despite the continuous inroads of humans over the millennia, China still is home to some of the world’s most exotic animals. Britannica Money Britannica Money Why emerging markets might be worth owning in a diversified portfolio Probably the single most identifiable characteristic of China to the people of the rest of the world is the size of its population. Some one-fifth of humanity is of Chinese nationality. The great majority of the population is Chinese (Han), and thus China is often characterized as an ethnically homogeneous country, but few countries have as wide a variety of indigenous peoples as does China. Even among the Han there are cultural and linguistic differences between regions; for example, the only point of linguistic commonality between two individuals from different parts of China may be the written Chinese language. Because China’s population is so enormous, the population density of the country is also often thought to be uniformly high, but vast areas of China are either uninhabited or sparsely populated.

Indeed, despite the political and social upheavals that frequently have ravaged the country, China is unique among nations in its longevity and resilience as a discrete politico-cultural unit. Much of China’s cultural development has been accomplished with relatively little outside influence, the introduction of Buddhism from India constituting a major exception. Even when the country was penetrated by such “barbarian” peoples as the Manchu, these groups soon became largely absorbed into the fabric of Han Chinese culture. Get a Britannica Premium subscription and gain access to exclusive content. Subscribe Now This relative isolation from the outside world made possible over the centuries the flowering and refinement of the Chinese culture, but it also left China ill prepared to cope with that world when, from the mid-19th century, it was confronted by technologically superior foreign nations. There followed a century of decline and decrepitude, as China found itself relatively helpless in the face of a foreign onslaught. The trauma of this external challenge became the catalyst for a revolution that began in the early 20th century against the old regime and culminated in the establishment of a communist government in 1949. This event reshaped global political geography, and China has since come to rank among the most influential countries in the world. Central to China’s long-enduring identity as a unitary country is the province, or sheng (“secretariat”). The provinces are traceable in their current form to the Tang dynasty (618–907 CE). Over the centuries, provinces gained in importance as centres of political and economic authority and increasingly became the focus of regional identification and loyalty. Provincial power reached its peak in the first two decades of the 20th century, but, since the establishment of the People’s Republic, that power has been curtailed by a strong central leadership in Beijing. Nonetheless, while the Chinese state has remained unitary in form, the vast size and population of China’s provinces—which are comparable to large and midsize nations—dictate their continuing importance as a level of subnational administration. Land Physical features of China Physical features of China China stretches for about 3,250 miles (5,250 km) from east to west and 3,400 miles (5,500 km) from north to south. Its land frontier is about 12,400 miles (20,000 km) in length, and its coastline extends for some 8,700 miles (14,000 km). The country is bounded by Mongolia to the north; Russia and North Korea to the northeast; the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea to the east; the South China Sea to the southeast; Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), India, Bhutan, and Nepal to the south; Pakistan to the southwest; and Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan to the west. In addition to the 14 countries that border directly on it, China also faces South Korea and Japan, across the Yellow Sea, and the Philippines, which lie beyond the South China Sea.
