Study shows Millennial Men do not think of women as their equals
A majority of millennial men failed to see women as equals, according to the study, which looked at how college biology students viewed their classmatesâ intelligence and achievements, the Harvard Business Review reported.
In every biology class surveyed, a man was seen as the most celebrated student, even in instances where women earned significantly better grades.
Men were also found to overestimate the intelligence of their male classmates over that of female ones.
Men continued exaggerating their assessments of the male peers, despite unequivocal evidence that their female peers were performing better.
Women, conversely, werenât found to display a bias: Their assessments of fellow classmates tended to be spot-on.
The National Institutes of Health researchers pointed out that female STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) majors drop out at significantly higher rates than their male counterparts.
âThe reasons for this difference are complex, and one possible contributing factor is the social environment women experience in the classroom,â they wrote.
Still, scores of men are under the impression that theyâve become the target of reverse sexism. Conservative columnist John Hawkins ranted in Town Hall last year:
âMen have it rougher in America than most people realize. In part, thatâs because theyâre one of the few groups (along with white people, conservatives, and Christians) itâs cool to crap on at every opportunity. In case you havenât noticed, thereâs a nonstop assault on masculinity in America.â
But research has confirmed the reality of gender bias against women. A staggering 90 percent of women reported experiencing gender harassment in the workplace, a 2010 University of Michigan study found. The results suggest that such harassment had the purpose of driving women out of jobs and not the generally assumed motivation of trying to draw women into relationships.
âOne could argue that, in these instances, âsexual harassment is used both to police and discipline the gender outlaw: the woman who dares to do a manâs job is made to pay,ââ the researchers wrote, quoting an article by Katherine M. Franke, an associate professor of law at the University of Arizona College of Law.
As for millennial men specifically, they have been less accepting of female leaders than their older male counterparts, according to a 2014 survey of more than 2,000 adults residing in the United States, the Harvard Business Review reports.
Half of Millenial men said their careers would take priority over their partnersâ.Â
Three-fourths of women, on the other hand, said their careers would be at least as important as their husbandsâ.
