Oh, btw. Blackfoot would also say to me "Corri, I hear you, but you don't have to be so harsh." Couched in some kind of light banter.
And then if I came back and apologized to him for being harsh, he'd say to me, "were you being harsh? Really? I hadn't noticed." Backed up with a small chuckle or LOL if I persisted in my apology.
He makes his point and lets me save face. I respect that.
And I would never call Blackfoot a girly man. At least not put in the negative context that you have.
