Really interesting new study out in SSM: "Precarious Manhood, Precarious Nations: The Contribution of Cultural Beliefs Comprising Masculinity to National Happiness”
More national precarious manhood beliefs = less national happiness, lower national GDP, shorter life expectancy, & less social support
More national precarious manhood beliefs = less national happiness, lower national GDP, shorter life expectancy, & less social support
