Why? Because of the intensity of shyness, the intensity of shyness. And the general rule is that an effeminate person is shy to open his eyes toward whom? Toward the one for whom he is effeminate. Therefore, he says:
"… *** Your eyes do not open toward them
fearing their reclaiming of their weapons *** So you appear after being disarmed like women"
Strange… Ibn al-Qayyim emphasizes this, saying: You are being obsequious to them, fearing their reclaiming of their weapons, so you appear after being disarmed like women. If they disarm you, you have no weapon with you, so you become like women after your weapons are taken from you.
