'''Masculinity''' refers to the social roles, behaviors, and meanings prescribed to men in any given society at any one time. As a construct, it is distinct from the definition of the male biological sex. Standards of manliness or masculinity vary across different cultures and historical periods.

== Definition and identity ==

[[Masculinity]] is both a social construct and a form of gender identity. It is associated with men, but it can also be exhibited by women. The concept of masculinity varies historically and culturally; although the dandy was seen as a 19th-century ideal of masculinity, he is considered effeminate by modern standards.

== Historical development ==

The historical development of masculinity has been a topic of debate in both sociology and psychology. Some argue that masculinity is linked to the male body; in this view, masculinity is associated with male genitalia. Others have suggested that although masculinity may be influenced by biology, it is also a cultural construct.

== Masculinity in society ==

In many societies, men are traditionally expected to be tough, dominant, and aggressive. These traits are often associated with masculinity. However, these expectations can have negative effects on men's mental health.

== Masculinity and health ==

Research has found that men who identify strongly with the traditional masculine norm of self-reliance have higher levels of stress, depression, and poor mental health.
