A new survey from Morning Consult sought to determine whether a list of miscellaneous products and activities, from hand sanitizer to posting pictures on social media, were perceived as more masculine or feminine. In a nationwide survey conducted among 2,200 U.S. adults, respondents were asked to rate 130 products and activities on a scale of 1, “very masculine,” to 10, “very feminine.” The October 15-21 survey has a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points.
