Gender Role Expectations: Masculinity vs. Femininity PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 35-slide Hofstede's 6 Dimensions of National Cultures PowerPoint presentation, presents a comparative analysis of masculinity and femininity as dimensions of social roles, emphasizing the emotional and social expectations associated with each gender. On the left, the femininity column outlines characteristics typical of societies with lower gender differentiation. It highlights a minimal distinction in roles between men and women, advocating for modesty and caring behaviors. The text suggests a balance between family and work, indicating that both genders are expected to express emotions, such as crying, while discouraging fighting. Mothers are noted as key decision-makers regarding family size, and there is a suggestion of greater female representation in political positions.

Conversely, the masculinity column illustrates a stark contrast, where roles are sharply defined. It asserts that men and women are expected to embody assertiveness and ambition, with work prioritized over family. The admiration for strength is emphasized, and emotional expression is limited, particularly for boys. Fathers are depicted as the primary decision-makers in family matters, while there is a notable lack of female representation in political roles. The religious focus shifts towards a higher power rather than human connections, and moral attitudes towards sexuality are framed as performance-based.

This slide effectively underscores the cultural dichotomy in gender roles, providing insights into how these expectations shape societal values. Understanding these dimensions can help organizations navigate gender-related dynamics in diverse environments, ultimately informing strategies for engagement and inclusion.

This slide is part of the Hofstede's 6 Dimensions of National Cultures PowerPoint presentation.
