I read through the underlying report, but the survey itself is extremely unremarkable.

There were only 12 very vague questions - and none actually asked the respondent about how they felt personally: "Where do you believe stereotypes about masculinity primarily come from?"

Only about 2/3 of the respondents even identified as male - this isn't a serious study of how men themselves feel. It's more of a survey about the public perception of men.

Most things posted related to this subject on HN are essentially slop from a research perspective.

Few are even reading the article. It's mostly a way to start a discussion and vent.

Ah, interesting. Would another opinionated, but fair, framing of the survey be "If you are a man, how victimized do you feel due to your identity?"?
