Definition
- “Control yourself!” is a common message that Americans of both sexes begin hearing at a young age, though it is an admonition that often carries greater intensity and has wider implications when addressed to males. Over the course of American history, different aspects of restraint––sometimes emotional, at other times sexual or economic––have been stressed.
