You know why.
What I have always found amusing is the way that folks expect a man to behave with that weak, confused deportment you speak of until hell breaks loose. THEN, and only then, those same folk tend to try to hide behind you and expect you to do something. They develop a sudden appreciation for the combative, dominating attributes that the same folk so lately decried.
I call bullshit on that - if they want to dominate ME and lead ME around by the nose in the everyday world, then THEY can rise to the occasion when danger threatens and save ME instead. It's only fair, and anything less is saturated hypocrisy.
Can't have it both ways. Pick one, and stick with it.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
