"A lot" = a significant number

there was that podcast I linked earlier that goes into this in detail

but see this

In this study, men who believed themselves to have been outperformed by a woman in the same room with them tended to rate her as less attractive and showed less desire to exchange contact information or plan a date with her.

For a new study, psychologists at the University of Buffalo, California Lutheran University and University of Texas questioned 105 men with a series of experiments and discovered that smart women made them feel less masculine. They found – and I’ll précis here… – that even though most men like the idea of dating an intelligent woman, put them in front of one and that attraction suddenly withers. Put bluntly, they feel threatened.

3.) Perceived Intelligence Is Negatively Associated With Dominant Women

Yep. Perceived intelligence is positively associated with friendliness and a sense of humour in both sexes, “but negatively related with perceived dominance in faces of women.”

This appears to back up recent claims about successful men being widely praised, while successful women are deemed abrasive or intimidating. Call it the ‘Hillary effect,’ if you will.

That's not what your studies are saying. You're extrapolating based off related, but different, factors.
It seems like you're looking for ways to back-up a preexisting dogma.
Those 'studies' barely hold up under their own weight, and they certainly do not back your barbaric view of men.

They are comparing competitors. I bet that holds true when you change the gender roles, or use the same genders. There was no control group in that deeply flawed analysis.

The existence of a "Smart women can be bossy", stereotype does not imply a fear or rejection of powerful women. This actually says they are positively associated also, so that negates it as evidence, even if it was saying what you thought.
Those were very bad, deeply biased sources that failed to follow the scientific method.

In most western communities successful women are 'high-value' from a male perspective.
If you live somewhere that women are expected to be weak, move.
