Just shows you what level of idiot gets tenure at Harvard. Part of his description of "manliness": "Manliness seeks and welcomes drama and prefers times of war, conflict, and risk. Manliness brings change or restores order at moments when routine is not enough, when the plan fails, when the whole idea of rational control by modern science develops leaks." If that were a woman being described, she would have been excoriated as a hystrionic personality disorder, a bitch, a gorgon, a virago, and denounced in any number of Greek tragedies. Guess there's a different set of standards for male behaviour, no surprise.
