Quotes and Research
Traits traditionally viewed as masculine in Western society include strength, courage, independence, leadership, dominance, and assertiveness.
During the Victorian era, masculinity underwent a transformation from traditional heroism. Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle wrote in 1831: "The old ideal of Manhood has grown obsolete, and the new is still invisible to us, and we grope after it in darkness, one clutching this phantom, another that; Werterism, Byronism, even Brummelism, each has its day".38(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masculinity#cite_note-38)
