- Male supremacism in the United States : from patriarchal traditionalism to misogynist incels and the alt-right The book examines how male supremacism manifests in three ways: as patriarchal traditionalism, as secular male supremacism, and in its intersections with other systems of oppression. From anti-abortion activism to misogynist incels to the Proud Boys, the collection illustrates how male supremacism plays a vital role in right-wing recruitment and organizing.

- Gender, face mask perceptions, and face mask wearing: Are men being dangerous during the COVID-19 pandemic? (ScienceDirect) Recent popular press authors have proposed that men are less likely to wear face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigate this notion in the current article by analyzing three extant datasets.
- Of Masks and Men? Gender, Sex and Protective Measures During COVID-19 (CambridgeCore) Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, men have been consistently less likely to report wearing a protective face mask. There are several possible reasons for this difference, including partisanship and gender identity.
- Men’s attitudes toward mask-wearing during COVID-19: Understanding the complexities of mask-ulinity (SAGE) Path analyses indicated that the relationship between conformity to masculine norms (CMN) and attitudes toward mask-wearing to protect from COVID-19 was mediated by perceived benefits, perceived barriers, confidence in the scientific community, and empathy toward vulnerable persons, and that political ideology moderated the indirect effects from CMN to men’s attitudes.
- Toxic Mask-ulinity: The Link between Masculine Toughness and Affective Reactions to Mask Wearing in the COVID-19 Era (Cambridge Core) Utilizing an original survey, we test the correlation between masculinity and mask wearing.
