Cesco needs to be more assertive, not necessarily more manly. Allowing another person to walk all over you is NOT a feminine characteristic. It's a sign of a person who lacks confidence and assertiveness. Neither of these attributes are uniquely male or female.
Confidence and Assertiveness are traits that women find attractive in men, they literally spark attraction, so much so that when a man stops exhibiting these traits, he kills the attraction between him and his spouse.
