Debunking common myths about males
Mythbusters critiques inaccurate, biased and stereotypical reports about men, boys and gender issues, and encourages factual reporting in stories concerning males.
Some examples of the myths that we challenge are
- that women are "more caring" than men
- that men who do less housework than their partners are "lazy" (when they do more paid work to compensate)
- that women work a "double shift" or "second shift"
- that women earn less than men for the same work
- that women are significantly more likely than men to suffer violence in the home and from persons they know
- that women are less likely than men to be controlling in relationships.
Please use the menu on the left to choose an issue to explore, or feel free to just have a browse below.
