Actually, the men on Supernatural are pretty strong. Klaus on “The Originals” is pretty strong, he’s a vampire/werewolf hybrid, and pretty much an anti-hero, Marcel and Elijah I’m on the fence about. On Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, there were many strong male characters.
Have you ever heard of “Game of Thrones”? The only “sensitive” type of guy on that show is the gay guy.
Justified has noting like what you are talking about. And “Sons of Anarchy” isn’t exactly a bastion of wussiness either. Jax does have his moments occasionally, but Clay, Tig, Chibs, and Happy more than make up for it. Juice does cry a lot, but he’s been through a lot lately.
Leverage was pretty good too. Suits, White Collar, Burn Notice, Dollhouse, justified, The Sarah Conner Chronicles, Logan and Dick on Veronica Mars, Firefly, Castle.
And that was just what I could pull out of thin air on the shows that I enjoy.
You watch way too much TV.
Nothing like the old male role models. John Wayne's characters were by and large rugged without being uncouth, rough without being trashy, and in perfect command of their emotions. Male characters who aren't sex-crazed have seriously gone out of fashion.
As a man myself, it ticks me off that males are portrayed in the manner they are these days.
