    A lot of it is centered around achievement and feeling useful, so building or fixing something, physical activity, being seen as a provider etc.

    It’s why men with families etc take being made redundant quite badly, not being able to provide for your family can really make you feel like a failure.

      Well that and not being able to put food on the table and a roof over their heads.

      It’s not about feelings at that point, even if they still exist.
