In the 1600s, men were often defined by their social class, occupation, and adherence to societal norms. Many were engaged in agriculture, trade, or emerging industries, while others held positions of power in government or the military. Masculinity was closely tied to ideals of honor, bravery, and responsibility, with expectations to provide for and protect their families. Additionally, the period saw a growing emphasis on individualism and personal achievement, particularly in Europe, influenced by the Renaissance and the Reformation.
