	According to a {{abbr\|2440\|2027 (Earth Year Equivalent)}} survey on sports watching, 46% of [[Qymish people]] indicated a preference for watching hockey, 10% stated that they neither watch nor follow sports, 18% expressed a preference for tennis, and 16% favored football. A gender analysis revealed that 73% of men opted for one of the leading three sports hockey, football or tennis, whereas 65% of women did so. A similar number of women enjoyed watching hockey and tennis compared to men, but men were more likely to watch football. This may be due to the greater success of women leagues and athletes in hockey and tennis. The [[Qymish Hockey League]] (QHL) garners the most audience, while the [[Qymish Open]], held in [[Zhol]], is one of the annual Grand Slam tennis tournaments.

Support for gay marriage was slightly lower at 45%, while those against represented 40% of respondents, with the remaining 15% unsure. Finally, the survey asked about same-sex adoption. Qymish respondents were 35% for, 45% against and 20% not sure. Same-sex couples are currently unable to marry or adopt, but same-sex [[wikipedia:unregistered cohabitation\|unregistered cohabitation]] is recognized since {{abbr\|2419\|2008.7 (Earth Year Equivalent)}}.

			According to research by the [[University of Zhol]], 42.6% of Qymish women and 27.9% of Qymish men experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime. The [[Qymish Center for Domestic Violence]] (QCDV) estimates that 10% of women and only 3% of men report cases of [[wikipedia:domestic violence\|domestic violence]] against them to the police. Research has shown that domestic violence experienced by men is much more often physical than sexual, and that experienced by women is more often sexual than physical. A detailed analysis of victims' experiences by the QCDV shows that women experience a greater diversity of violent situations, report more frequently the potentially most serious types of violence, and experience these incidents for longer periods and with greater frequency than men. The estimated proportion of Qymish people reporting having witnessed violence (humiliation, physical violence) between their parents before the age of {{abbr\|18\|15 (Earth Age Equivalent)}} is 17.3%, of which 13.5% involved physical violence.

	==Sociological issues==		==Sociological issues==
	===~~Masculinism~~===		===Hypermasculinity and hyperfemininity===
	~~Masculinism, in a Qymish context~~, refers to the unhealthy promotion of ~~masculine ideals~~ and is synonymous with [[wikipedia:toxic masculinity\|toxic masculinity]]. U/C		Hypermasculinity, refers to the unhealthy promotion of the "[[wikipedia:machismo\|macho]] personality" and is often classified as synonymous with [[wikipedia:toxic masculinity\|toxic masculinity]]. In the field of [[wikipedia:clinical psychology\|clinical psychology]], this term has been used since {{abbr\|2388\|1984 (Earth Year Equivalent)}} and is defined as consisting of a callous sexual attitudes toward women, the belief that violence is manly, and that danger is exciting. Hypermasculinity also delves on emotional aspects of self-control, withdrawal and repression of feelings, whereas men are expected to be stoic and monitor their own emotions in order to maintain an image of manly toughness. Based on research by the Qymish sociologist [[Tomik Pavym]], a man expressing his emotions is seen, in a hypermasculine context, as unmanly, weak, childlike and feminine, prompting stigma from his peers and from women as well. Pavym's study shows that many Qymish men deliberately avoid behaviors and attitudes such as compassion and emotional expression, deeming these traits feminine and thus rejecting them altogether, leading to behaviors more akin to competition rather than connection with other people.

			Pavym claims the portrayal of men in mass media is the greatest factor explaining the phenomenon of hypermasculinity in Qymish society and throughout [[Basis]] as well. Whether in advertisement, gaming, movies or TV series, lead male characters almost always feature [[wikipedia:masculine beauty ideal\|masculine beauty ideals]] and emotional elements of hypermasculine behavior such as toughness and stoicism. The omnipresence of hypermasculinity in Qymish media has led to the construction of a system of conscious or unconscious re-enactment of the values they perpetuate, which is done by both men and women according to Pavym. In other words, the media environment contributes to the normalization of hypermasculinity, resulting in negative effects on both genders. Women are taught that hypermasculine behavior is the norm, that "[[wikipedia:Boys Will Be Boys\|boys will be boys]]", and women are thus pressured to accept their role as recipients of disrespectful, callous sexual and physically violent behavior from men. Meanwhile, men are pressured to meet these designated masculine criteria by the media, women and other men, which can lead to feelings of insecurity, inferiority, and general psychological distress if they are not met, resulting in mental health issues.

			Hyperfemininity is the mirror concept with regard to women, coined in {{abbr\|2397\|1991 (Earth Year Equivalent)}} by Qymish sociologist [[Moloqa Debe]], as the exaggerated adherence to stereotypical feminine gender roles. Debe argues that the label of hypermasculinity and toxic masculinity are problematic if left by themselves, creating an idea of masculinity in general as either toxic/hyper or healthy, and oversimplifying gender expression to a set of antiquated and stereotypical gender roles. She therefore coined the concept of hyperfemininity to balance these gender issues, and avoid the misperception that "only men have issues while women are perfect" and that feminists are uninterested in or hostile towards the lives of men. In her view, hyperfeminine behavior includes an over-reliance on men as providers and protectors, [[wikipedia:deference\|passivity or submissiveness]], and acting as a "[[wikipedia:male gaze\|watched]] [[wikipedia:objectification\|object]]".

	===Sexism===		===Sexism===
	By global standard, Qym is one of the most advanced countries on [[Basis]] as it pertains to [[wikipedia:gender equality\|gender equality]]. However, [[wikipedia:sexism\|sexism]] remains a problem in Qymish society affecting ~~both~~ men and women. ~~U/C~~		By global standard, Qym is one of the most advanced countries on [[Basis]] as it pertains to [[wikipedia:gender equality\|gender equality]]. However, [[wikipedia:sexism\|sexism]] remains a problem in Qymish society affecting men and women alike, although disproportionally so for women. Expressions of negative association with women, such as "running like a girl" or "crying like a girl", are often used to "correct" a boy's behavior into hypermasculine ideals which constitute a form of sexism. Furthermore, in heterosexual dating, it was a common social norm for much of Qymish history for men to ask women out on dates or men to propose marriage while women were not expected to initiate any romantic inclination. Similarly, the traditional practice was for a man to pay for everything during a romantic date, consequently putting unequal social and financial pressure on men.

			According to the Qymish sociologist [[Moloqa Debe]], these sexist norms also directly contributed to the objectification of women and seeing romance as a form of conquest or transaction. Challenges to these norms first appeared in the {{abbr\|2340s\|1944 to 1952 (Earth Years Equivalent)}} with the increased employment of women, and gradually resulted in emboldening women to initiate just like men, and also to [[wikipedia:Going Dutch\|cover their own expenses during a date]], showcasing their financial independence. As such, gender egalitarian dating norms are common in modern Qymish society.

			Occupational sexism is the most prevalent form of sexism in Qym. Only a man can become the [[King of Qym\|monarch]] according to the [[Fundamental Law of Qym]], which shows that at the highest and most symbolic level of occupation, men are deemed superior to women. There have been growing movements, even within the [[House of Zhifol]], to amend the succession law to include women, particularly during and since the [[Qymish succession crisis of 2440–2441]]. In terms of everyday people, there exist some hiring gaps related to gender identity, particularly when candidates apply for positions at a higher functional level and for male-dominated occupations. Furthermore, a [[wikipedia:Gender pay gap\|gender pay gap]] persists despite Qymish labor law guaranteeing positional wage equality.

			Per [[Qymish naming customs]], it remains the norm for a child to take their father's surname rather than their mother's. Certain occupations are also widely dominated by a specific gender, such as [[wikipedia:firefighter\|firefighting]] and the [[Qymish Armed Forces\|armed forces]] for men due to the strict physical requirements.

	According to a {{abbr\|2440\|2027 (Earth Year Equivalent)}} survey on sports watching, 46% of [[Qymish people]] indicated a preference for watching hockey, 10% stated that they neither watch nor follow sports, 18% expressed a preference for tennis, and 16% favored football. A gender analysis revealed that 73% of men opted for one of the leading three sports hockey, football or tennis, whereas 65% of women did so. A similar number of women enjoyed watching hockey and tennis compared to men, but men were more likely to watch football. This may be due to the greater success of women leagues and athletes in hockey and tennis. The [[Qymish Hockey League]] (QHL) garners the most audience, while the [[Qymish Open]], held in [[Zhol]], is one of the annual Grand Slam tennis tournaments.
