‘Shameful, not cool, a sign of weakness’: Men are less likely to wear face masks to protect against coronavirus, study finds
Marketwatch ^ | May 14, 2020 | By Meera Jagannathan

As the coronavirus death toll ticks up and some states ease their restrictions, a new study suggests that men might be more likely to leave their face coverings at home.

Men in the U.S. report less intention than women to wear face coverings, especially in counties that don’t mandate wearing them, according to a paper authored by researchers from Middlesex University London in the U.K. and the Mathematical Science Research Institute in Berkeley, Calif. This, the authors say, suggests that making face coverings mandatory “has a larger effect on men than on women.”

Did he die?

If not then who gives a ####? :)

If it was the black death and masks worked, i’d glue it to my face.

It’s a faggot virus that kills the old and infirm.

I’m good with not wearing a mask for this one.

Former New York rangers' goalie Gilles Gratton had it figured out roughly 40 years ago.

I NEVER wear one in public. Even in front of LAPD cops.

I stated multiple times and there are exceptions like senior citizens, only fags wear face masks..

Smart and Final grocery requires masks. My mild, not so political wife decided not to, so now she shops at Winco.

I think women are used to the concept of masks because we wear makeup, and there is a stigma if you don’t comply. Men haven’t had that going on so it will be a harder sell. There is also the problem of too many girly looking masks though too. I’ve gotten requests for flannel plaid and pretty much anything without kittens or unicorns, which is certainly understandable.

Smart and Final also told me I had to wear one HOWEVER I don’t need to shop at Smart and Final so I left!! I buy my meat at Costco OR I would have left there also!! Walmart does not require masks so I go there early AM so I don’t have to deal with the screaming babies ect.

My theory as well. Women usually thrive on emotions and feelings in many cases. Just today I looked at a few of the CV article from a local news outlet on FB.

Most of the women were all “OMG, it’s so sad and horrible XXX people tested positive today and YY died. It’s too early to open, cases keep rising. We should wait another month.” Any attempt to show while, yes we had new cases, the number have been much lower and we can’t hide inside until no one has it. Of curse the response was, OMG your men you don’t care about people dying! Your so mean and heartless.

Karens. Almost every woman I see on trails and see out in the middle of nowhere are wearing masks or put one on quickly when they see me

Man it’s like maybe 50% of them

I carry a bandanna around but only because I like to rob banks. / sarc

No seriously I put one around my neck and I walk into stores and they never even put it on my face

It’s only there for one of the Karen’s says where is your mask?

I see plenty of men wearing masks, even alone in their cars driving.

However people are mobbing the parks and not wearing masks, not social distancing either. Some are smooching.

I live in a state where masks are required unless you have a medical reason. One chain grocer requires them and has someone at the door, another chain just has a sign posted and leave it at that.

Last week I saw a Karen wearing a mask, goggles and gloves while hiking. It was mid week and a cloudy day so very few people out.

I think I had this crap in January. Had a dry cough, felt blah. Didn’t drink a beer for two weeks and that’s a wonder right there. Luckily I’m healthy and OD on zinc everyday.

I guess there were no markets to watch today. Instead, this vapid social message.

Okay.
I am properly ashamed of myself. Not!

Nor I. And it could possibly be that not all men have bought into all the super hyped up hysteria over wearing face coverings.
