The document discusses the social expectations for men according to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It states that men like Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy are held up as exemplars, as they display qualities of being gracious, polite, well-mannered, loyal to their families, and kind. In contrast, men like Mr. Collins and sometimes Mr. Bennet are ridiculed for being ridiculous, lacking social skills, and failing to properly care for their families.
