Absolutely. I always end up head butting walls when I see these types of threads because people are seeing this issue the wrong way around.

There are no such things as feminine or masculine behavior, these definitions are artificially created by human society. All behaviors are found in both genders, they are human behavior. It is totally natural for all men to be attracted to the behaviors that are found within the CD community. The only difference between CDs and other men is that we have rebelled against the conditioning that states that we are forbidden to access these behaviors, that these somehow demean us as men.

CDs are simply men who have said NO! I do like this behavior, it is part of my personality, why should I deny this to myself?
Other men have either never considered the issue or are too afraid to because the gender conditioning has been so well established and cemented in place.

Other men will not consider this because it attacks the very essence of what they have been taught is the essence of what a man is. Many women face the same problem when they are asked to accept a crossdressing SO, they struggle to overcome the entrenched conditioning which defines how a man should behave according to society's values. In contrast, because of the feminist movement, women can now exhibit behaviors traditionally considered masculine without worrying about social condemnation.

You don't see women dreaming up fanciful theories of genetics and hormones or things that go wrong in the womb to explain why they want to wear jeans or learn a martial art or climb a mountain.
