Abstract

There are countless examples of men defying stereotypes on the red carpet and in magazines, from Harry Styles's appearance as the boy with the pearl earring at the 2019 Met Gala to Pharrell Williams's Moncler gown by Valentino on the cover of GQ. In view of these trends, can we assume that men have conquered their pressure to appear as "real men" and are free to behave as they want? Our research tackles this question. How do cisgender men—that is, men who are assigned as male at birth and continue to identify as such—feel when they behave in ways that disregard stereotypes about gender?
