There is pressure on some guys to prove masculinity, indeed. But I wonder if it's less a factor of self-perceived masculinity and more of a self acceptance/ self esteem issue though. The men who I perceive as very masculine in non bullshit nonshowoff way are not really risk takers. I definitely identify as masculine but I am risk adverse and cautious..except for driving lol..not a scientific observation but my feeling which would be scientifically considered hypothetical.

Raw data isn't available on the website. Anyone know where the raw data can be found?

Interesting. I've oftentimes wondered about the other side, females who struggle with falling short of feminine norms. (Personal struggle of mine, maybe I'll make my own post to see if others struggle.)
