男性氣質

男性氣質（Masculinity，Manliness或Manhood），也稱作男子氣概、男性化或男人味，是指通常與男性相關的一組特質、行為和角色。男性氣質包括生理決定的因素和社會決定的因素^[1][2][3]，故男性氣質與人體解剖學上的男性不同^[4][5] ，男性和女性都可能表現出男性化特質和行為。既有男性氣質又有女性氣質的人稱為雙性性格。

米開朗基羅的《大衛像》常被人為是西方男子氣的典型代表

傳統上，男性化特質包括勇氣、獨立和自信^[6][7][8]，儘管男性氣質受到諸多社會和文化因素的影響，在不同的地方和環境會有所變化^[9]。

過度強調男性自尊和力量（通常與不計後果和責任相聯繫）稱為大男子主義。^[10]

概念

大多數時候摔跤被當做一種男性化的運動

男性化並沒有一個清晰的、可以舉世通用的概念，但許多文化中都有「男性化」概念或成見，比如勇氣、自立、自信、強壯與領導力等。^[6][11][12] 雷溫·康奈爾將傳統的男性氣質定義為「霸權男性氣概」，在一些文化中，這是社會普遍認識中男性所應該具有的氣質。尤其是在父系社會中，這可以被當做男性統治權的保障，從而使得女性處於從屬地位。^[13][14]

Gender feminists also consider traditional feminine traits (gentleness, modesty, humility, sacrifice, supportiveness, empathy, compassion, tenderness, nurturance, intuitiveness, sensitivity, unselfishness) morally superior to the traditional masculine traits (courage, strong will, ambition, independence, assertiveness, initiative, rationality and emotional control).
