I'm only tangentially going to address the OP, so bear with me.
"Manliness" is a really strange (and sort of distasteful) concept to me. I really don't like standards for how I am supposed to be. Am I only a man if I grow a mustache and kill woodland creatures? If I can bench twice my own weight? If the only time I cry is when I spill my beer or my football team loses?
Ridiculous. Equating "sensitivity" with a lack of "manliness" is absurdly narrow-minded.
I'm a man. I love being a man. And I'm very open with my emotions. And I do my best to be kind and generous to people. Movies make me cry sometimes. I get moved and inspired and excited by things sometimes, and I let people know it. And I'm not embarassed by that.
