Harvey Mansfield is an asshole. He translates the greek word for "courage" into manliness and then argues for a diametric opposition between courage and "sensitivity." He argues that feminism has fueled the "notion of sensitivity, to which we owe the Sensitive Male." So he argues that sensitivity and courage are necessarily opposed. But this is untrue, since we can think of examples of characters who are both sensitive and courageous. These characters make themselves vulnerable by taking risks for the sake of what is truly noble. Vulnerability is where sensitivity and courage converge.
