How it's used

Describes a specific personality trait where a man expects traditional gender roles to be strictly followed, often implying he believes men are superior to women. It is frequently used to criticize someone who is controlling or dismissive of a partner's opinions. Unlike formal terms, this carries a strong negative connotation of being outdated or unfair in a modern relationship.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with simply being masculine or a strong man, as it specifically refers to the belief in male dominance rather than just gender expression.
