Actually I haven't. I mentioned that I don't think that women ought to
define a "real man".

Saying a man is not a real man is an insult, no matter how you try to
backpedal now. You wrote nothing to suggest that you saw your
definition of a real man as something subjective or just your opinion.
You wrote as if your idea of a real man was some sort of universal
standard. The phrase "real man" itself implies that you are talking
about an objective reality.

I have no problems at all with you finding different things attractive
in a man than I do. I find it offensive when you claim what you like
is real and that what I like is unmanly. You are welcome to your
opinions and to your husband. I certainly don't want him. But, yes, I
do get upset when you insult my man.
