Being Sensitive and Being Manly

I personally have always thought that men are capable of being both sensitive and manly, so I have to disagree with Mansfield's statement. Men are noted for standing up for their country and being brave and chivalrous, while at the same time being caring and showing emotion. I think that the perfect example of this is how a typical husband acts, protective, and care for their families when they are in a time of distress. Many dads and father figures are usually seen in this way. So, yes sensitivity and manliness are definitely compatible, if they weren't, then we would not have father figures. It has always been my belief that a man who is too manly is just plain odd. Men and women can both be brave and stand up for what they believe in and be sensitive too.
