The greatest of men are going to be low in agreeability but high in conscientiousness. This is what it means to be masculine.
Low agreeability comes into play when men don’t put up with crap or things that don’t line up with one’s values. Saying “yes” to things that are harmful to you or to others is simply unhealthy but too many people will avoid the spotlight and try not to make waves. Real men know better.
Being high in conscientiousness is where you take not only your own feelings into account but of those with whom you work, live, and everyone else in one’s life. This allows you to be less of a dictator that forces people to do things and more of a leader who inspires people to want to get things done.
There are those that view masculinity as toxic when nothing could be further from the truth. While this doesn’t at all take away from the crucial importance that comes from femininity, not having a masculine influence in one’s life correlates highly with depression, social issues and criminal behavior. To say that having masculine figures in one’s life leads to toxic behavior is simply a lie from people who live with the concept of their ideals in their minds while ignoring the truth that lay in front of them.
Again, femininity is every bit as vital as masculinity but one cannot replace the other. It’s only when we can appreciate what the other has to offer that we can find our potential together.
