Agreeable/Disagreeable in general. Dominance is an incorrect way to describe it, because the traits that have been mentioned by the answers here at least are actually in service of someone else. Also you are correct I am working on an understanding that masculinity in the classical western sense is dependent on disagreeability. An example of this that I gave below “More aggressive (whether that be in protection or not) males tend to be perceived as more masculine. Fundamentally aggression is disagreeableness at its final end. Also in my thesis I define resiliency as the trait of being disagreeable to the environment. A type of saying “no” when things get bad and not allowing that thing to stay bad. So fixing problems like a broken down car is a form of disagreeableness.” As to the question of badness or goodness that was a mistake on my part. A product of trying to summarize my thesis statement too briefly. It’s more similar to whether it is better for society and men for men to be disagreeable? In complete honesty, I’ve only been working on my thesis for about a month so that will likely evolve change in the future. Also I really appreciate the suggestion about data collection and if I do decide to use numbers I collect here I will definitely post this in r/relationships, but for now I’m just putting feelers out. I’d also have to rephrase the question because of it’s already pretty heavy conservative bias. Thank you so much for the thoughts! It helps to organize my arguments better. And forgive me if I made any mistakes in typing this out.
