I'm going to have to disagree. Men are usually not very weak to shame, they are weak to pleasure. They dominate pretty much every addiction imaginable. Not even the fear of death will stop him from getting his high. See gay aids epidemic and being gay in countries that will actually get you executed.
Women on the other hand are usually really weak to public shaming. If the whole of mass media suddenly started shaming women for being progressive this whole ship would turn around very quickly and they would all pretend to be "based".
If the majority of men were like that then society would cease to function. I think men react to shaming, just a different type of shaming, usually more direct and less constant, if that makes sense. A man is more likely to successfully shame another man out of some behaviour by saying "hey, you are being a total fucking faggot right now. Stop it." Women are more likely to just metaphorically turn their backs on another woman and exclude her until she figures out what she is doing wrong and changes her behavior.
(This is why we constantly see TiMs not grasping that they are being subject to female social shaming, and thinking that they pass and everyone loves them. When in fact the women around them are smiling and nodding, and then resuming their actual social activities as soon as the weird dude in the dress leaves the room)
I think not being subjected to healthy shaming is one of the big reasons TRAs have become so batshit, and I don't just mean the weird sexual stuff. A lot of "shaming" is just minor social reactions that hardly anyone even notices, it just tells us what kinds of things we shouldn't say, or how it's appropriate to react in some conversations. When you have an entire movement that is not subject to that social mechanism (because transphobia), you get to see it very slowly and steadily go off the rails and not stop.
