Question

In what way(if any) do our rigid constructsof masculine and feminine expectations negatively impact relationships between sexes in our society?

Answer 1

In retrospective-analysis of the present study, several substantial conclusory statements are necessary for a completed reflection on the provided research and present introspection. It is foundational to recognize the legitimacy of the evidence proving that men, like women, are a complete experience, understanding, relation, and communication of emotion. Upon establishing the equality of the male emotional experience, it must be noted that there exists a disconnect between male-female demonstrations of the apparently similarly-experienced emotions. Comparative schools of thought account for this finding by explaining male behavior as either compliance to rigid societal shaping, and therefore conscious inexpression, or as result of natural male affectional tendencies, including a non-traditional process and demonstration of affection. Male affection often goes by unrecognized because its natural form does not fit with feminine expectations. The most simplistic explanation of this gender breakdown in naturalistic affectional expression is that men love more through action than word.

It is easy to see then, in considering feminine verbal preference, how feminine expectations for affectional display and reception have been passed down in recordable tradition, thus allowing the unidentifiably active male modes of affection to remain, in virtue, as masculine ideologies, but by no means as appropriate vehicles for affectional display. Such masculine traits are praised as crucial to male identification, and yet remain unidentified as expectable naturalistic male forms of emotional expression.
