It is based on a chapter in the Palgrave Macmillan, Handbook of Male Psychology and Mental Health in which the authors, Seager and Barry, put forward their new psychological theory, ‘gamma bias’ which proposes that cognitive distortions involving exaggeration and minimisation , which are more favourable to women and less favourable to men are operating in our culture. And of course there’s the ‘Good Guy of the Week’.
