In life, they say it can be the timid who're the most fierce when pushed, and this is true particularly in the case of the titular character of TOTGM.
While more often than not he keeps his distance from the affairs of his lovers, letting them each tackle life and its obstacles in what manner they see fit, there are still times when he's pushed to take on a more direct stance on their behalf.
Perhaps some would call it chauvinistic, maybe there are those who see it as toxic given the teachings of our modern times, but regardless of the cultures of the present there comes a moment in one's life, regardless of man or woman, that one must stake their claim and defend it justly.
It's hard to believe there would be many a man, or woman, not coaxed into a physical confrontation with another who would brazenly flirt their way about their spouse, and not only that, but go so far as to wave off said man or woman as the one they love is hassled.
In this sense, perhaps you would call the Guardian an "old fashioned" man, but regardless of one's opinion of him, none can deny the fact that when the chips are down, he's more than willing to stand up for the women in his life, defend his claim on them, and remind them why he's both dependable, and fearless when it comes to their behalf.
No matter how cultures change, it will forever be those willing to stand strong and radiate courage and persistence who will find victory in life, for all too often, even today, those who hang their heads low, see naught but the dirt at their feet, never the potential bounty in the horizon ahead...
