What I mean is that a man has a “tender” ego that can be easily shattered.

And that is a sin issue, a pride issue. A Christian man has no more need of having his weaknesses catered to than does a woman. Either there is mutuality or there is not. Of course each individual should know and be considerate of the weaknesses of others, per Rom. 14. But this is **not** a male-female issue, it is a person-to-person issue.

What delicate egos do **not** need is to be protected and pampered. They need to be faced and strengthened.
