Discuss Hofstede’s masculinity–femininity dimension and provide examples of masculine and feminine cultures.

What will be an ideal response?

Masculine cultures are those that strive for maximal distinction between what women and men are expected to do. Cultures that place high values on masculine traits stress assertiveness, competition, and material success. Those labeled as feminine cultures are those that permit more overlapping social roles for the sexes. Cultures that place high value on feminine traits stress quality of life, interpersonal relationships, and concern for the weak.
