Description
David D. Gilmore's study of manhood across cultures reveals a universal emphasis on masculinity as an achieved status.
A culturally sanctioned stress on manliness, encompassing toughness and aggressiveness, stoicism and sexuality, is found to be almost ubiquitous among individuals from diverse backgrounds, including hunters, workers, warriors, poets, and peasants.
This insightful exploration of the concept of manhood sheds light on the complexities of masculinity in different cultural contexts, offering a nuanced understanding of what it means to "be a man" around the world.
