That's my experience too. I played rugby because I loved it (and was useless at soccer) not because I necessarily saw it as macho. My career and hobbies are in areas that are predominantly ma!e but they are what interest me and what I'm good at.
However, 'boy me' will not, under any circumstances, wear pink or even glance at, or comment upon, a shop window full of dresses. At least, not in the company of anyone who knows him!
