GENDER ROLES WIN AGAIN: Study Shows Women Still Attracted To Money And Muscles
Despite the feminist Left's valiant effort to eradicate gender roles and traditional, "toxic" masculinity, women just aren't jumping aboard the Beta Male Train.
In a recent study published in Feminist Media Studies, researchers at the U.K.'s Coventry and Aberystwyth Universities found that women were still most attracted to perceived wealth and good old fashioned muscles. In other words, women were not clamoring for the male feminists over at BuzzFeed, or the Pajama Boy, but for a strong, powerful, dominate man.
Shocking stuff.
The research included three-years worth of analysis of "guy candy" photos published on Tube Crash, a site dedicated to secretly-snapped pics of men on the London Underground.
"The photos and comments focused on the men’s biceps, pecs and chest as well as perceived sexual ability. Items that indicated wealth such as smart suits, watches and phones were emphasized. Pictures showing other representations of masculinity, such as fatherhood, and more emotional and awkward-appearing men were far less frequent," reports Newsweek.
The findings were interpreted by researchers as a blow to the Left's quest to advance gendered "progress," otherwise known as the destruction of gender norms and traditionalism.
"This celebration of masculine capital is achieved through humor and the knowing wink, but the outcome is a reaffirmation of men’s position in society," said Coventry University’s Centre's Adrienne Evans, the lead author of the study.
Evans complained, "although it appears as though we have moved forward, our desires are still mostly about money and strength."
