From the point of view of psychology, what does it really mean to be “masculine” or “feminine”? Are the traits we attribute to masculinity versus femininity something we’re born with, or something we learn through culture and society? In this thought-provoking discussion, we’ll explore the fascinating and sometimes controversial psychology of gender archetypes; the patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving traditionally seen as male or female. We'll draw inspiration from John Gray’s classic Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus — a book, not without its controversy, that has evolved through several decades of updates and debate — we’ll look at what has stood the test of time and what modern psychology now says about it.

 

Hosted by David, a chief psychological counsellor known for his deep insight and balanced approach, this discussion invites you to question, explore, and share your perspective. Let's examine whether masculine and feminine traits can be clearly defined, whether they exist across all cultures, and how much of them comes from biology versus environment. Can men embody feminine wisdom, and can women express masculine strength — and does that even matter? Join us for an intelligent, open, and inclusive conversation that blends science, psychology, and culture in the search for understanding who we really are.

 

从心理学角度看，“男性化”或“女性化”到底意味着什么？我们对这两种特质的理解，是天生的，还是文化教出来的？这场讨论会带你深入了解“性别原型”的心理学——也就是那些被传统认为属于男性或女性的思维、情感和行为模式。我们会参考 John Gray 的经典著作《Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus》（《男人来自火星，女人来自金星》），这本书在过去几十年间引发了不少争议和讨论。我们会聊聊其中哪些观点依然有价值，哪些又被现代心理学推翻或更新。

 

David 是一位以洞察力和平衡视角著称的心理咨询师，他将引导大家一起思考、探讨并分享自己的看法。我们会讨论：男性化和女性化的特质到底能不能被清晰界定？这些特质是否存在于所有文化中？它们到底有多少来自生理，又有多少来自环境？男人能不能拥有“女性的智慧”？女人能不能展现“男性的力量”？——或者说，这些界限本身还有意义吗？欢迎加入这场兼具理性与包容的对话，用心理学和文化的视角，一起重新认识“我们是谁”。
