From the Paper:

"Researchers examining issues concerning career development have noted the fact that many men exhibit a fear of femininity which affects their career path. This idea has been inculcated in men by means of the normal gender-role socialization process and some have suggested that this has created a masculine/feminine polarity. Zunker (1994) lists characteristics associated with each gender, based on the socialization process. Masculinity is therefore associated with the following: power and the exercise of power, strength and toughness, logical and analytical thought and ambition and achievement. These are all characteristics that are associated with success, with forging ahead, with taking charge, with achieving something in life."
