If you had to describe masculinity and feminity in a word or two what would it be?

For me...

Masculinity: protecting the weak

Feminity: loving the unloved

@lavahot i dont think it woukd be fitting to swap... dont get me wrong women often protect the weak and men often love the unloved. But i dont see that as good representstions of the fiery aspects of masculinity or the watery aspects of femininity.

@freemo, my point is that masculine and feminine are constructs and are so complex and diverse from person to person and from culture to culture that any one behavior could easily be observed to belong to either. My definitions of each are different from your definitions. Giving a brief and succinct yet accurate definition is paradoxical and absurd.
