Question
Masculinity
Masculinity versus its opposite, femininity refers to the distribution of emotional roles between the genders which is another fundamental issue for any society to which a range of solutions are found. The IBM studies revealed that (a) women's values differ less among societies than men's values; (b) men's values from one country to another contain a dimension from very assertive and competitive and maximally different from women's values on the one side, to modest and caring and similar to women's values on the other. The assertive pole has been called masculine and the modest, caring pole feminine. The women in feminine countries have the same modest, caring values as the men; in the masculine countries they are more assertive and more competitive, but not as much as the men, so that these countries show a gap between men's values and women's values

Masculinity and femininity refer to the distribution of emotional roles between genders, which is crucial for societal functioning. Studies by IBM highlighted two key findings: firstly, women's values tend to be more consistent across different societies compared to men's values; secondly, men's values vary significantly from one country to another, ranging from assertive and competitive (masculine) to modest and caring (feminine). In countries characterized as feminine, both men and women share similar modest and caring values, whereas in masculine countries, women display more assertiveness and competitiveness, though still less than men. This creates a noticeable gap between the values of men and women in masculine cultures.
