"a pillar of emotional support " and other steryotypically female characteristics which is what peeves me. I do disagree with the emsaculation. If you have a passive female population and a completely emasculated male protagonist, that leaves you with a dead story. I think there is much support for men who are passive, who then have a wakening moment which brings back thier masculinity which helps turn Utopias into dystopias or vice versa. . .
