Well, this is neither here nor there, but I would say there are attributes or virtues assigned that are more common to either gender, but not necessarily contained to gender, which makes it important to understand for example why manliness should still be considered an important virtue.
We live in one of the most emasculated worlds in the history of humankind, we should think about the consequences when men are ordered not to act like men, but we should also realize that Margaret Thatcher was pretty manly herself.
