Masculine Self-Presentation and Distancing from Femininity in Gay Men: An Experimental Examination of the Role of Masculinity Threat (2016, neutral): “…that it is public demonstration of conformity that is important in reactions to masculinity threats (Bosson, Taylor, & Prewitt-Freilino, 2006; Rudman & Fairchild, 2004; Vandello, Bosson, Cohen, Burnaford, & Weaver, 2008), an interpretation that could be examined in future research on this area.”
Masculinity Threat, “Incel” Traits, and Violent Fantasies Among Heterosexual Men in the United States (2020, background): “Masculinity requires “doing gender” by continuously proving and seeking validation of one’s manhood (Vandello et al., 2008; West & Zimmerman, 1987).”
The Madonna-Whore Dichotomy: Men Who Perceive Women's Nurturance and Sexuality as Mutually Exclusive Endorse Patriarchy and Show Lower Relationship Satisfaction (2018, background): “One such cost is the need to constantly defend their Bmanhood,^ which creates a pervasive sense of threat and anxiety (Vandello et al. 2008), yet impedes acknowledgment of emotional distress, especially among other men (Cochran and Rabinowitz 2003).”

Penalizing Men Who Request a Family Leave: Is Flexibility Stigma a Femininity Stigma? (2013, background): “Precarious manhood theory would also suggest that men who “act like women” by requesting family leave are at risk for feminization (Vandello et al., 2008).”
Her Support, His Support: Money, Masculinity, and Marital Infidelity (2015, neutral): “the relational, hierarchical nature of gender, however, men should respond to masculinity threats with extreme demonstrations of masculinity, whereas women should be less affected (Munsch and Willer 2012)—or unaffected (Vandello et al. 2008)—by femininity threats.”

Precarious Manhood and Its Links to Action and Aggression (2011, background): “…students generated more reasons that reflected social themes (e.g., ‘‘unable to support a family,’’ ‘‘let someone down’’) than physical themes (e.g., ‘‘sex-change operation,’’ ‘‘became ill’’); the opposite pattern emerged in people’s explanations for the loss of womanhood (Vandello et al., 2008).”
