Not personally, of course, but the lineup of fall shows makes the uncomfortable case that the time has come for my gender, men, to make a clean breast (ho ho ho) of its psyche.
The study, carried out by a group of North American academics, illustrates how, while outwardly acknowledging the roles prescribed by society for each gender – men as emotionally repressed and sexually voracious, women as monogamous and incurably romantic – the divergence from these normative stereotypes when couples are between the sheets is significant.
Separate factor analyses were performed for each gender (men and women), race (African American and white), age (< 65 compared with 65+ years) and cohort (cohort enrichment versus second follow-up cohorts) subgroup; qualitative comparisons of factor structure and Cronbach's alpha were performed.
Other variables adjusted for in multivariable analyses included gender (men, women (reference)) and age group (15 24 (reference), 25 34, 35 44, 45 54, 55 64, 65 74, 75+ years).
Balance for talent, not for gender-Men and women are equally important, we're just different.
All rate ratios are adjusted for gender (using men as the reference category).
All odds ratios are adjusted for gender (using men as the reference category).
The participants were also stratified for gender because men and women differ in incidence of RRIs and localisation of these injuries [ 6, 9].
Sociodemographic characteristics were similar between participants with and without missing confounding variables (see online supplementary table S2) except for gender, as men were more likely to have missing variables.
