Consumption of misogynistic media content increases negative reactions towards women Scientific research has consistently demonstrated that the consumption of misogynistic media content is associated with increased hostility towards women. While it was previously unclear whether men and women exhibit similar negative reactions, recent findings indicate that when media content contains explicit violence against women, it is primarily men – rather than women – who display negative responses. These conclusions are based on a comprehensive international study led by the University of Bern. https://mediarelations.unibe.ch/media_releases/2026/media_releases_2026/consumption_of_misogynistic_media_content_increases_negative_reactions_towards_women/index_eng.html
