Male Aggression and Assertiveness as Idealized Traits: How the Feminine Can Live More Harmoniously in a Masculine Dominated Society
In this episode, we discuss male aggression and assertiveness as idealized traits in American society, as well as how our masculine dominated society teaches male agency and selfishness through transgressing boundaries.
American society—through various institutions and cultural narratives—has often idealized aggressive and assertive behaviors in men, equating them with strength, leadership, and self-reliance. In this episode, we examine this issue, including the mechanisms through which male aggression, assertiveness, and forms of boundary-transgressing agency are taught and normalized.
