I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet something that was a bit shocking to me.. FEMININE SIDE being the puzzle answer to "It might be expressed with emotion"... this seems to be an outdated sexist viewpoint.. as if one's masculine side cannot be expressed with emotion? It seems to reinforce stereotypes of women always "being too emotional" and men not being allowed to show emotion for fear of being seen as "feminine". The most uncomfortable part of solving crossword puzzles for me is when you don't agree with the viewpoint of the constructor and feel complicit in whatever cultural zeitgeist is being affirmed by the puzzle's creators by typing out the "correct answer" that you don't actually agree with...
