Good God man, they're only women, who ever took any notice of anything anyone in a petticoat says? Just kidding. Obviously.

I love discussing the one eyed trouser snake with women at least until the police arrive. Women object less often than you might think.

My impression by the way, is that there is nothing women won't discuss amongst themselves often in alarming detail.

It is intriguing that you are embarrassed/guilty about something you have absolutely no control in being.

Perhaps you are especially sensitive and instead of uttering a deep manly bellow you take criticism to heart.

Or perhaps at a young age you were made to feel there was something wrong or inferior with you. Perhaps when bad things happen (they happen to us all) you felt they were due to you and your maleness was a contributory factor, or that you had to deny your gender or bad things would get worse.

It is difficult to track these things back your self but a suitable therapist can go through your your past with you and see when and where you began to feel this way and if you know why it may be easier to live with.
