Aggressiveness, toughness, ambition, power - these are masculine traits which society glorifies

I think women are muuuch tougher, even if they seem "белые и пушистые". And as ambitious as men. And there will not be planes, TV, Internet, ... without ambitions.

I'd rather say more practical and down-to-earth.

There is no question that women can be tough, ambitious and all the other masculine traits can also be applied. I'm not saying women can't be tough. I'm saying that masculine qualities are the ones society values. The other qualities, compassion, kindness, nurturing, gentleness, cooperation - are equally important but society only gives them lip service. In reality, the compassionate one is not the one promoted at work, the ambitious one is. In reality, our countries do not cooperate with each other, they compete and try to out-do each other. I am saying that I think our world would be a better place if society valued feminine qualities as highly as it values masculine qualities.
