Content: This article will focus on the masculinity versus femininity dimension of culture, also known as MAS. Countries like the United States, Mexico, China, and Japan are all considered to be masculine. " Masculinity stands for a society in which social gender roles are clearly distinct. Men are supposed to be assertive, tough, and focused on material success; women are supposed to be more modest, tender, and concerned with the quality of life." In masculine cultures, men hold more positions of power, get paid more, and are expected to act in a masculine manner. Women get the short end of the stick. They are expected to be caretakers, are paid less, and are not fairly represented in positions of power in any field. It's also important to note the different values masculine cultures hold. They tend to prioritize money, materialistic items, and dominance.
