One study found that boys attending coeducational high schools experience more bullying than boys who attend single-sex high schools (χ²<sub>[1, N=13,134]</sub> = 48.55, p<.001). About 19% of males who attend coeducational schools experience bullying as opposed to less than 1% of males who attend single-sex schools.<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271948395_Patterns_of_Bullying_in_Single-Sex_Schools</ref>--> | One study found that boys attending coeducational high schools experience more bullying than boys who attend single-sex high schools (χ²<sub>[1, N=13,134]</sub> = 48.55, p<.001).

[[Jordan Peterson]] mentioned an anecdote in which only few male university students got to have sexual relationships despite a surplus of female students.<ref>https://youtube.com/watch?v=jsMqSBB3ZTY?t=293</ref> In some incel forums, incels also lamented that they have many female coworkers, but are ignored by them.<ref>https://www.rareddit.com/r/Braincels/comments/9e3b32/_/e5mlf9z#t1_e5mlf9z</ref><ref>http://redditsearch.io/?term=female%20coworkers%20invisible&dataviz=false&aggs=false&subreddits=braincels&searchtype=comments&search=true&start=0&end=1576953976&size=100</ref> | [[Jordan Peterson]] mentioned an anecdote in which only few male university students got to have sexual relationships despite a surplus of female students.<ref>https://youtube.com/watch?v=jsMqSBB3ZTY?t=293</ref> In some incel forums, incels also lamented that they have many female coworkers, but are ignored by them.<ref>https://www.rareddit.com/r/Braincels/comments/9e3b32/_/e5mlf9z#t1_e5mlf9z</ref><ref>http://redditsearch.io/?term=female%20coworkers%20invisible&dataviz=false&aggs=false&subreddits=braincels&searchtype=comments&search=true&start=0&end=1576953976&size=100</ref> | ||
More recent research (McClintock, 2020) has indicated that heterosexual males in occupational categories that have a surplus of women are less likely to initiate cohabitation or marriage than men in more male-typical jobs (that have a high ratio of males in those professions).<ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jomf.12657</ref> | |||
While this effect is argued to be mainly mediated by the social penalties of violating gender norms or the characteristics of men that are drawn to these profiles, it is interesting to note that this analysis found little evidence that mere exposure to a large amount women improved men's marriage prospects. There was only an effect found for men being in more "communicative jobs," which was argued to be mostly a product of the interpersonal skills demanded by such occupations. | |||
However, such findings may not necessarily apply to some STEMcels, as work may the only real source of social opportunities for particularly socially isolated individuals. | |||
