I don't know, I don't think it's just me, but I was raised to protect the people and things I loved. I don't quite understand the impetus to be comforted by a stuffed animal. Isn't shouldering things and just sucking it up and dealing part of the biological(maybe social) imperative that all men have? Wouldn't it seem logical that in a large number of cases if you're expressing behavior that's not generally seen in your gender then it's probably not healthy? Women, on the other hand, generally grow up with stuffed animals. Most women I know like to hug things and people when they're sad or lonely or just in general. Therefore, it doesn't seem particularly peculiar to me that they should keep stuffed animals even in adulthood.
Abaya, yes I see your post, but was just wondering out loud since other women had also posted.
