You can be a male with 100% nurturer as a trait and that has zero bearing on me identifying them as a “real man”. As I stated nurturer was not part of my definition of “real man”. you can be both a nurturer and a protector but they are not the same thing.
But I can't be a zero protector and 100% nurturer and be a real man, yes? But I could be that and be a real woman.
Protection is integral part of nurture. One could not nurture very much without protecting.
