Masculinity cannot express itself or develop itself in vulnerability or weakness. You can't be masculine if you're going through a debilitating period in your life, in front of those who have power over you.

Masculinity needs power to survive, to express itself, to exert itself and to develop.

To disempower men and to make them vulnerable is to demasculinise them... by robbing them of their manhood.

But disempowerment also puts the machoest man in touch with his femininity. Because, in vulnerability men develop their femininity... (although, they can't do it more than their natural potential for femininity). Femininity is nature's way to help them cope with vulnerable, weak, disempowering circumstances.

To disempower male sexual need for men by isolating it into the margins, is to demasculinise it. And to further, 'feminise' it.
