I agree with you.

I wrote this in part in response to a comment a while ago from some feminists saying "Why are men not protecting us" and I also wrote it because I see a lot of championing of the nurturing aspects of "femininity" but very little championing of the "good side" of masculinity.

Indeed women can and should also work on bringing out there heroic side just as men work on bringing out their nurturing side because I do think that a human can and should incorporate both aspects.
