Abstract
Women are more likely to say they ¡®don¡¯t know¡¯ whether Boris Johnson¡¯s Brexit deal is good or bad for the country. Roberta Guerrina (University of Bristol), Toni Haastrup (ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã), Katharine Wright (Newcastle University) and Annick Masselot (University of Canterbury) argue that this reflects the way that Brexit has normalised a form of toxic masculinity that damages the public sphere.
