Margaret Mead's research in New Guinea highlighted the Mundugumor people, where both men and women exhibited what she considered "masculine" behaviors in terms of Western stereotypes, such as aggression and competitiveness. This contrasted with her findings among the Arapesh, where both genders displayed what she termed "feminine" qualities, and the Tchambuli (now Chambri), where gender roles were reversed according to Western expectations. The Bugis are known for recognizing five genders, not specifically for both genders being masculine.
