Re. manpain.
Mostly, my thoughts have drifted towards this bit of insight. It's from Busman's Honeymoon (by Dorothy L. Sayers - *fangirls*), and is from a conversation between Harriet and Mrs Goodacre (the local vicar's wife), talking about their husbands. Harriet's husband has - over the course of the novel - solved a murder case, but is now upset about the murderer who is due to be executed shortly. (This is an old book, from when England still used capital punishement.)
"Very likely he does [worry a great deal]," said Mrs Goodacre. "You can see he's that sort. Simon's just the same if he has had to be severe with anybody. But that's men all over. They want the thing done and then, of course, they don't like the consequences. Poor dears, they can't help it. They haven't got logical minds."
And there you have it.
