Why do I always feel this way when....?

Question

Whenever I see or hear on the news that a woman or child has been raped, or physically abused and imprisoned I'd get this intense feeling of running over to my guy friend and giving him a big tight hug.

My guy friend respects women like I've never seen or heard before totally and literally cries when he hears of someone getting hurt or died.

Is this feeling normal and what does it mean?

Answer 1

It's normal, you're lucky as to having such a thoughtful guy friend (or maybe boyfriend?) Not many people have guy friends like that...

Answer 2

Wow i have never heard of anything like that! But maybe you feel the need to be protected? Sorry thats all I can think off.
