In many societies, men and women have traditionally been expected to adhere to different rules and norms based on gender roles and cultural expectations. These gender roles and expectations can vary significantly from one society to another and can also change over time.
In some societies, men may be expected to exhibit certain behaviors or characteristics that are considered traditionally masculine, such as being strong, competitive, and assertive. Conversely, women may be expected to exhibit traditionally feminine behaviors or characteristics, such as being nurturing, caring, and emotional.
These gender roles and expectations can be enforced through a variety of social and cultural practices, such as dress codes, gendered toys and activities, and gender-specific expectations for behavior and appearance.
It is important to note that these gender roles and expectations are not universal and can vary significantly from one society to another. Additionally, many people do not adhere to traditional gender roles and may choose to express themselves and their identities in ways that do not conform to societal expectations.
If you are a woman who wants a traditionally masculine man, make sure he follows these rules. If he doesn’t he may not be the man you want him to be.
