I was just watching Grey's Anatomy. In the episode a doctor talks about being a doctor in Iraq and a particular horrific incident. He's talking about it while being drunk, in the shower with all his clothes on.
I think being a man is about doing amazing things. Its about being a soldier, a tradesman, or a statesman. Its about projecting confidence and capability. Whether its quiet confidence or brash bravado being a man is about being strong.
This scene made realize that its also about weakness. Its also about not being able to let your guard down. Its about not being able to let on that you have doubts. There's always a loose piece of the armor threatening to fall off.
And there's something about a woman that fixes that.
