Traditional masculinity heals

A new study from the University of Missouri-Columbia confirms correlations between masculinity and recovery from serious injuries.
Traditional masculinity includes being tough and the willingness to see something through to the end (stick-to-it-iveness. wtf who makes these stupid non-words)

It has long been assumed that [these] men are not as concerned and don't take good care of themselves, but what we're seeing here is that the same ideas that led to their injuries help them heal faster.

Totally makes sense! Toughen up you new-age, sissy, chump, girly-men!
