Such a pleasure carrying out this study with @annayahprosser.bsky.social!! It's high time we ditch the meat = masculine narrative, but untangling this connection isn't easily done. Our study uncovered 6 strategies to get #meatreduction to resonate with men - who's joining us to make it happen?
Meat is macho: masculinity concepts are obstructing green initiatives to cut meat consumption - Dr Annayah Prosser explains all in this video tinyurl.com/3pzwf8z8. And read about her research here tinyurl.com/admfj8eb @annayahprosser.bsky.social #sustainability #masculinity @uniofbath.bsky.social

Our latest study found a sig connection between #masculine norms and #meat.
Then, we ran focus groups to explore the issue in men's own words.
So, which masc norms are driving the connection, what do men think about it, and how can interventions actually appeal to men? ➡️ tinyurl.com/mukzks92
