Can men be sensitive?
I have heard a number of women come out with a statement recently, that caring, sensitive, artisitic men can really only be found on the gay scene, surely proportionally there are probably just as many philistine gay men as straight. I like being creative, sensitive, considerate, but i also like kicking a pigskin about like the apprentice boys before me, all that testosterone needs an outlet.
I find women are always surprised by men when they express knowledge of womens stuff, like the differnce between a pad and a tampon, the merits of aveda or paul mitchell leave in conditioner, or the difference between jap silk and raw silk. Too many men have their heads up their arses to have even been to the V and A or know what the words are that run round the top. Too many women seem secretly afraid of men invading their arena.
I saw he pentecostalist american preacher, Jesse Duplantis once talk about being considerate, and how he’d had taken time out to understand his wifes love of materials, cloth and dressmaking by going down to the local material shop and taking a personal lesson from one of the staff. Sensitivity to someone elses ways can only come from consideration and care for them. The trouble for men and their more sensitive and creative aspect, is their lack of solidarity and support for each other, so they tend to keep their sensitive side to themselves, in fear of it being mocked or attacked by other men. Gay men of course have, perhaps, already have faced their fears of expressing themselves fully, straight men need to face up to this.
All men and women contain both feminine and masculine typology, I might just as well complain that there are not enough women who want ot arm wrestle, drink beer and fart.
