Sensitive or Manly?
Below I'll tell you why stuff like this annoys me:
Studies like this try to fit people into categories that are all of one or all of the other (in this case, all macho or all sensitive). I think it's bullcrap. Trying to pigeonholed people into only two categories is dumb.
"Women may say they want a sensitive man but they don't always love one," said Harvey Mansfield, professor of political philosophy at Harvard and author of "Manliness." "They are sometimes much more attracted to a manly man... In his controversial book, Mansfield argues that manliness has been hijacked by feminism and advocates of gender-neutral society... Whether or not they want macho, more modern women may be yearning for old-fashioned roles. In a recent survey of nearly 5,000 couples, the happiest wives said their men support them financially and emotionally.
