While agreeing that 'feminine man' isn't the best wording, I don't think it disapproves the point that I was trying to make and stems from this not being my first language more than lack of knowledge about the Illiad (although I don't claim to be an expert).
I jus tried to point out Achilles, while he is a fierce warrior, is not described as as one dimensional in his masculinity as the manosphere crowd likes their men.
Ian McKellen is about 5' 10" and Elijah Wood is 5' 5", but clever camerawork magnifies the difference in LotR to make Frodo appear two and a half feet shorter than Gandalf.
Tom Cruise is 5' 7½" (officially) but never looks up at anyone on camera.
Yes he is. Achilles is famously one dimensional, he is arrogant, sensitive, and volatile. That's literally his character flaw.
Instead of inventing things to conform to your nonsensical worldview, you should read and educate yourself that other things exist outside of your narrow ideology.
