anyone got any MALE characters who take delight in stretching other characters' -- and readers' -- perceptions of what men should be?

Uhm, yes. I've mentioned this character before, the one who likes to pick on the my scholarly Elf. This character, who is also an Elf, is a warrior of his realm. He's been brought up with a bow in one hand, a sword in the other, so to speak. So, when my scholar joins the party, he takes delight in trying to show my scholar-Elf how to "truly" fight, how to pack (parchment is a no-no and a worthless "weapon") and so on. They're both male, but my scholar has his own strengths, healing being one of them.
