A team of researchers, including Binghamton psychology professor Richard Mattson and graduate student Michael Shaw asked men between the ages of 18–25 to respond to hypothetical sexual hookup situations in which a woman responds passively to a sexual advance, meaning the woman does not express any overt verbal or behavioral response to indicate consent to increase the level of physical intimacy. The team then surveyed how consensual each man perceived the situation to be, as well as how he would likely behave.
The work is published in the journal Sex Roles.
“A passive response to a sexual advance is a normative indicator of consent, but also might reflect distress or fear, and whether men are able to differentiate between the two during a hookup was important to explore,” said Mattson.
The team found that men varied in their perception of passive responses in terms of consent and that the level of perceived consent was strongly linked to an increased likelihood of continuing or advancing sexual behavior.
“The biggest takeaway is that men differed in how they interpreted an ambiguous female response to their sexual advances with respect to their perception of consent, which in turn influenced their sexual decisions,” said Mattson.
“But certain types of men (e.g., those high in toxic masculine traits) tended to view situations as more consensual and reported that they would escalate the level of sexual intimacy regardless of whether or not they thought it was consensual.”
Weird
FYI, this user was sharing the racist ass incel “men prefer the bear because it’s brown, tall and abandons their children” image in threads about man or bear.
Food for thought if you think they are making a good point here (they aren’t).

LMAO
Pick a lane, you’re pre accusing me of something you are actively doing. Beyond me how you wrote those two lines back to back without realizing the irony.
Yup. You check all the boxes. Like I said, predictable AF.
Being a man isn’t a choice, it’s a characteristic. You being a misandrist is a perfectly cognizant choice.
But there’s no point arguing with you anyway because you’re not here to listen, you’re here to feel morally superior as if you had some sort of point 😂. I’d love to see you pick in real time between me, a 5’8" scrawny man and a bear, still pick the bear, and get mauled, and still not get the irony of your misandry as it happens.
This is less a discussion, more just you ranting at a strawman. So okay, whatever.
You win. You beat the words that you put in my mouth.
Good job? Idc.
You can go read the full thread of that in the mod history, the image perfectly proves that misandry is ok on here but racism is not, if you think I literally stand by that meme then there’s nothing I can do about that lol
Actually I remember debating you on that, you just hate men
You should stop spending your time looking for threads about men as a vehicle to say inflammatory whataboutism and instead consult with a therapist why you are so inflamed by the evidence of patriarchy. You’re literally in a thread about a scientific study of how prevalent the problem is, but all you see is misandry.
Doing the first can’t possibly be making you happy, probably a frustrating angry way to live. However getting to the heart of your gender insecurity and defensiveness has a chance at actually producing better results for your life.
Edit: The fact that you think I just hate men really underlines my point.
A bear is more dangerous than a man, full stop, there’s nothing further to it than that lol
