Being a man is about maintaining frame in trying situations:

  • Be firm.
  • Don't let others control your emotions.
  • Call out bullshit when it's there.

Do women share a "community" frame? They move in groups, will often check with their peers before making a decision, care very much about social status, and are probably more comfortable facing conflict with a group.

If so, could this be why:

  • Women will yield to a strong, independent, masculine frame (as they have no independent one of their own).
  • Women hate it when their men yield their frame (the communal frame is girls-only).

Thoughts?
