For ISFJs, issues of masculinity and femininity are very simple for women, but complex for men.
SFJ type (ESFJThe defining characteristic of this type of woman is that she embodies a "conventional femininity."
*Examples of stereotypical femininity include being quiet, reserved, gentle, calm, dependent, considerate, chaste, obedient, neat, and orderly.
In reality, ISFJ women often criticize the behavior of other female personality types, even if they don't say it out loud, as unfeminine. Because this type of woman habitually behaves in accordance with the "image of femininity," if she suddenly starts acting unfeminine as she gets older, it can surprise those around her and lead to resistance, with people asking, "What's wrong with you!?"
If ISFJs are described as the so-called feminine type, then ISFJ men, who are similarly "gentle, considerate, quiet, and obedient," would be "the complete opposite of typical masculine behavior."
When the gap between "being a man" and "having feminine natures" becomes a deep-seated complex, a man may try to act more masculinely, forcibly suppressing his true self. In such cases, he may overdo it, acting more masculine than necessary, smoking excessively, drinking too much alcohol, or becoming overly combative in an attempt to "prove" his masculinity.
