Is it more socially acceptible for women or men to display characteristics of the opposite gender?

Hmmm... A lot of the terms used ('sensitive man') are somewhat ambiguous and will be interpreted differently by different people. I have known sensitive men who were wise, strong and masculine, (the good father figure type) and sensitive men who were only pretending and deep down were only weak manipulators (clowns from your worst nightmare). When results are tabulated, you will have to take this into account.
I know exactly what you're talking about, and that's why I hate group projects. I was trying to describe men who empathize with others easily and who often take into account others' views. Unfortunately, my partner opted for the rather cliche vocabulary.
In the end, I don't know how much it will matter. We could even just throw that out. Or we could extrapolate from the different opinions between guys and girls that they have a different definition/perception of "sensitive". If anyone's interested, I'll post the results that I turn in.
I'm having comp trouble so I will email you my results later.
However, some of the questions I don't think are yes and no. For example, I am in some senses a male feminist, and I have no problem with gender equality. But at the same time, I understand traditionalism and would prefer roles like a woman who works, but works from the home. It's complicated and somewhat contradictory, I know, but nonetheless it is what I hold.
Furthermore, a lot of terms are nebulous. I mean, i enjoy "guy things" but not in the overpowering masculine sense. I'm stuck in the wrong era.
I know these aren't particularly good questions, but I'm just trying to get an overall feel for the opinions of the whole area. I know everyone deviates and makes exceptions, but there's also just a general sense that each person has, and I want to see if there are general patterns that evolve from different genders and even different age groups.
I do recall giving examples of guy things, and I know that just with the girl things, there are people who are moderate and people who are extreme and people who can't represent the stereotype at all. What I'm trying to find is people's expectations of what *should* be, hence the word "all".
here is what i found out from the ppl i surveyed: 1. m 2. 36-50 3. y 4. y 5. y 6. n 7. y 8. y 9. n 10. y 11. n 12. y 13. n 14. y 15. y
