澳大利亚、英国和美国的研究人员对142名16至25岁的年轻男性进行了调查，探究他们对社交媒体男性气质内容的真实看法1。研究发现，这些受访者对相关内容存在明显的两面性评价——既欣赏其中的自我提升建议，同时也认识到其中蕴含的有害因素1。
受访者普遍承认内容中既有有用的部分，也有问题所在1。24岁的英国受访者Kieran表示，他寻找那些能对生活产生积极影响的课程和建议，这类内容帮助他提升了自信心，改善了纪律和锻炼习惯1。22岁的澳大利亚受访者Andy则指出了其中的矛盾心理，认为内容"相当有毒性"，但他仍渴望获得这些建议所声称能提供的自信，尽管他意识到这些内容本身存在问题1。
19岁的受访者Cam进一步分析了内容的性别偏见问题，指出很多男性气质相关内容缺乏对女性视角的审视，而其中更为极端的声音宣传必须贬低女性才能成为成功男性的观念1。尽管许多年轻男性意识到这些内容存在的危害性，但为了获取他们渴望的自我改进建议，许多人仍然选择容忍这些问题1。
澳大利亚正在推进数字责任立法，旨在允许年轻男性选择退出可能加剧对女性、女孩、性别多元人群和男性自身伤害的算法1。
Researchers from Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States surveyed 142 young men aged 16 to 25 about their attitudes toward masculinity-focused content on social media, finding a complex relationship between attraction and ambivalence toward the material.1 The participants appreciated self-improvement advice within this content but simultaneously criticized its sexist messaging, promotion of harmful health behaviors, and extreme viewpoints.1 Many young men demonstrated awareness of the content's potential harms yet tolerated these problematic elements to access the motivational and disciplinary guidance they sought.1
The study revealed a tension articulated by one respondent, Andy, 22, from Australia, who stated: "This is pretty toxic, but at the same time I can't help but want the confidence that their methods seem to offer. Like I don't want to be part of it because it's fucked, but just a little, I want to be like that so I would feel respected."1 Another participant, Kieran, 24, from the United Kingdom, emphasized the positive impact, saying he sought "courses and advice that could have a positive impact on my life. Overall I like it. It's helped build my confidence, helped me do better with discipline and exercise."1 A third respondent, Cam, 19, identified a troubling pattern in the content: "About half and half. A lot of content about masculinity but doesn't examine women. And I feel the louder minority follow over-masculinized role models who preach that to be a successful male you must put women down."1
Australia is advancing digital duty of care legislation that would enable young men to opt out of algorithms that amplify content harmful to women, girls, gender-diverse individuals, and men themselves.1
