男性气质

男性气质（Masculinity，Manliness或Manhood），也称作男子氣概、男性化或男人味，是指通常与男性相关的一组特质、行为和角色。男性气质包括生理决定的因素和社会决定的因素^[1][2][3]，故男性气质与人体解剖学上的男性不同^[4][5] ，男性和女性都可能表现出男性化特质和行为。既有男性气质又有女性气质的人称为双性性格。

米開朗基羅的《大衛像》常被人為是西方男子氣的典型代表

传统上，男性化特质包括勇氣、独立和自信^[6][7][8]，尽管男性气质受到诸多社会和文化因素的影响，在不同的地方和环境会有所变化^[9]。

过度强调男性自尊和力量（通常与不计后果和责任相联系）称为大男子主義。^[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“霸权男性气概”，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).
