Actually has a subplot addressing this, the male protagonist, a very macho Texan, is deeply in love with a very capable woman (name of Tulip loL)

They have this conversation several times; she tells him she can take care of herself, he's terrified of losing her in the wake of his er, call it a quest, despite the fact she saves his ass several times.

By the end of the series, she flat out leaves him, although there is a lot of love between them. Of course they get back together at the very end, with him AND her in tears (meaningful in the context of the story)

He continually is working on coming to terms with idea, it's a very cool subplot-- even mentioned he's read some feminist theory. It's a very violent series, as so many of them are.
