Men are more likely to not wear face masks.
Men aged 19-24 were more likely to break lockdown, a majority of people aged 13-24 were found to be not complying with the hygiene rules.
Men and people under 25 were most likely to believe in Covid misinformation.
Not only is this vitriol towards middle aged women sexist and ageist (for want of a better word), but its also actively harmful, because a lot of people are viewing wearing masks as weak and compliant, which is one of the factors believed to be leading men to not wear masks. A lot of campaigns to get people to wear them are starting to look at the gender difference specifically, and flipping the genders like this is doing nothing but damage.
Also I would like to reiterate how honestly sexist it is that people are just automatically blaming women when all studies I’ve ever seen about demographics complying or not all are saying men are more statistically harmful to the covid prevention effort than women are. The age thing is ridiculous as well when young people are far more harmful.
Ive honestly been looking for a while and I have yet to see any study that suggest middle aged women are even equally likely to be pulling BS than young men, or middle aged men, or young women, let alone predominantly responsible for continued spreading.
