A 2025 report links rigid masculinity ideals to increased sexual violence risk among teens, prompting calls for urgent education reforms.
Consent educators and anti-violence advocates are raising alarms about covert misogyny spreading online, particularly among young men, following the release of the 2025 Adolescent Man Box report.
Based on a survey of 1,400 Australian teens, the study found a strong link between rigid adherence to traditional masculinity—such as emotional restraint, dominance, and sexual assertiveness—and a higher likelihood of sexual violence.
Experts say subtle, often unspoken beliefs reinforced by social media and online culture normalize disrespect toward women and hinder healthy relationships.
Advocates stress the urgent need for comprehensive education, community engagement, and systemic changes in schools and digital platforms to challenge these norms and promote consent and respect.
