Stoic: not affected by or showing passion or feeling (adjective)
This is the meaning of the word Stoic according to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary. I saw this word used in the article “What Our Sons Are Learning From Donald Trump” on October 8th, 2018. It was on paragrah 12 where it said “Many educators assume that boys are hard-wired in certain ways: to be aggressive, active, competitive, impulsive and stoic.” Boys often hide their emotions from others in fear of being called weak and being shamed. After thinking about it like that, I understood what stoic meant.
