Probably applies to men who value "(competitive)performance" or whatever way too much, thus increasing their insecurity and feelings of inadequacy or something

See: "Hegseth, Pete"

Kinda curious does the same principle apply in other aspects of life?

I honestly doubt the study was done properly. It sounds like made up of people hating woman, just to create friction. Maybe there is a study, made by woman in example (doesn't have to) who felt attacked often. Yes, there are hostilities towards woman, but also towards men in general. There are many reasons. Sure some of them act like this for the described reasons in the tweet, but we don't know how many. I've seen lot of stupid studies before.
