Our society is over-balanced towards the masculine attributes, and has been for a long time. Long enough for our cultural memory to have almost forgotten what balance between the sexes feels like.
The reign of male-dominated society doesn't present a picture of male identity that some people feel comfortable with. The struggle of a sensitive boy, passing into manhood, is how to deal with the negative identity associated with their gender. This is my theory.
