Dylan, I agree with you that notions of what is masculine and feminine are culturally based and in Western cultures based on white culture in particular.
Just to be clear, I do think walking girls home from school and carrying their books is a stereotype often associated with masculine courtly or courteous behavior. I just happened to enjoy doing that from a young age.
