Cultures of honor have strong norms about aggression. What are those norms? What role does sexual jealousy play? What about manhood?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
Cultures of honor indicate that there are some circumstances in which one should aggress if one's honor is at stake. This is particularly true for men. Sexual jealousy is one way in which a man's honor might be threatened due to paternity uncertainty. Domestic violence and mate-retention behaviors both point to the idea that men need to protect their honor by ensuring that their partners are faithful. Manhood it seems can be easily removed by loss of face, inability to provide for one's family, or even letting others down. All of these place men in cultures of honor in a position that would normatively require the use of aggression to defend against this multitude of threats to one's honor. Less is known about how women experience a culture of honor, indeed womanhood is rarely threatened so easily.
