The paper describes that the constructions of masculinity is dominant, realistic and physically powerful, while femininity is docile, emotional, pathetic and weak. Additionally, logic of the dominant masculinity means repression of sentiments and subservient femininity is the encouragement of explicitly uttered emotions. It analyses the viewer or the interaction partner is underprivileged of the appropriate emotional messages and the implied information that hampers the possibility for “emotional convergence” within close relationships (man-woman). “Emotional convergence” in man-woman associations means related emotions, the same feelings, opinions and behaviour that guide to smooth and healthy family relationships. This study states that women convey extra rational behaviour than men, in spite of their emotionality. And, even at times of emergency they demonstrate an incorporated character that aids in compulsory the relationships and culture. On the other hand, men repress their emotions and interrupt relationships, themselves having collapsed due to the unconstructive environmental events. The theory is tested with the help out of the characters from the novel Wild Swans by Jung Chang. The political milieu of India’s Emergency period the China’s Cultural Revolution in Wild Swans, provide as the negative agonic relations that inculcate the emotions like terror, resentment, hostility, distress, unease, and expectation in the characters. In addition, the political moves and the adjacent rules work to dislocate the relationships and families, consequential in disgust, dissonance and turmoil within the society. The women in the novel, namely, Yufang, Dehong and Chang demonstrate more sensible emotionality (not just being affecting) than the men like Yang, General Xue and Wang in Wild Swans. Instead, the study finds that women as contrasted to men efficiently handle their emotions, yet at times of disaster. When women not succeed to display such personality of rational emotionality, it is not just the breakdown of one individual but of the whole family and the next generation. Therefore, however defined as “fragile”, “weak” and “pathetic”, women are undeniably sturdy and they hold the accountability of an entire generation.
