'''Hypomasculinity''' is a psychological term for the absence of male stereotypical traits. For example, it is the absence of the de-emphasising of feelings and relationships. Oftentimes, individuals who exhibit hypomasculine traits display unmasculine professional or physical characteristics that deviate from the norm.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Palmer|first=Jamie L.|date=2018-10-01|title=Ineffective Masculinity: Intersection of Masculinity and Nationhood in Portraits of Cuban Men from Time and Newsweek 1959–2010|journal=Men and Masculinities|language=en|volume=21|issue=4|pages=455–478|doi=10.1177/1097184X17696184|s2cid=149424644 |issn=1097-184X}}</ref>
A [[Jungian]] interpretation of this would be of an overwhelmingly strong [[Anima (Jung)|anima]] or female complex.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Relke|first=Joan|date=2007-05-30|title=The Archetypal Female in Mythology and Religion: The Anima and the Mother of the Earth and Sky|journal=Europe's Journal of Psychology|language=en|volume=3|issue=2|doi=10.5964/ejop.v3i2.401|issn=1841-0413|doi-access=free}}</ref> This term can be [[pejorative]] and it is important not to place a moral interpretation on whether it is desirable, only by whether it is [[Adaptation|adaptive]] or [[Maladaptation|maladaptive]]. Its opposite behavior is termed ''[[hypermasculinity]]''.
