The Answer is Varies. May include the following:
-intimate: men eat, sleep, talk with children and mothers, attend births, and actively participate. Peaceful societies, more equal, intimate romantic relationships, more equal gender in deities. These allow boys to develop an intimate knowledge of masculinity and to value femininity.
-aloof: men eat and sleep apart from women, spend leisure time with other men, stay away from births and seldom help with child care. Religions with stern male gods, women excluded from community decision making, public displays of male power, and marriages in which men demand deference. This leaves boys without a clear sense of masculinity and a desire to oppose femininity.
