The nobler and the manlier one?

那尤为高贵的丈夫气概！

The man did work that was thought to be manlier.

老先生做的是一般认为较适合男性的工作-当一名樵夫。

But ought we not to place before ourselves a very different ideal - a healthier, manlier, and nobler hope?

但是，我们就不应该在我们跟前摆放一个迥然不同的理想——一个更为健康，更为勇敢，更为高贵的希望吗？

Given that "fe" represents "iron" - "female" could translate to "iron male" or someone manlier than a man himself, they argue.

如果“fe”表示“铁”，那么“female”就可译为“铁人”，或者是其他比男人还有男子气概的人。
