I actually appreciate their concept of manliness in that I feel most often like a "Retro-Butch"... I carry hankies and still practice most of the etiquette of the more artful men of my grandfather's era.
They do try rather diligently to blend "manliness" and chivalry with the act of practicing equality and feminism, even. Yes, sometimes manners can seem to be disregarding feminism in lieu of appreciating the divine feminine, however, I think they do a great job in correcting themselves when they do step over that line.
It is a hard balancing act at times, knowing when the feminine wishes to be a princess, a queen or a warrior and knowing exactly how to address all of those magnificent qualities of the feminine woman.
