I think masculinity is bravado against the mystery of the universe of women. Its just a fear of not knowing what women have thats so powerful. Its this shield they put up to try to get closer. – K. D. Lang
Of the primary emotions, fear is the one that bears most directly on survival. Children show fear. Adults try not to, maybe because its shameful, or, in some circumstances, dangerous. The fear response is automatic, though, and your body runs through its reflexes whether you want it to or not. – Sebastian Junger
