Gloria Creech asked Lori Foster:

How do you find the balance between the protective hero and the modern independent Hero? You do a great job of it, by the way, in all of your books I've read.

Lori Foster Hi Gloria!
Most of the men I know are very protective, it's just that luckily most guys aren't put into a situation of needing to protect anyone. But I write a lot of guys/stories that are given the opportunity to let their inner cavemen loose. lol.
There have been many situations throughout their lives where my husband and three sons have come to someone's aid - be something as simple as offering to help with yard work, carry groceries - or something as dangerous as defending against an attacker. It's second nature to them to help where and how they can.
I, however, panic. When something goes wrong, I'm pretty useless. Clearly they inherited their cool-headed hero tendencies from their dad!
The guys are all modern guys, with great respect for women. And actually for kids, and other men, too. But if you're bigger, stronger, faster, and in some way more capable, it makes sense to offer to help. At least, I think so!
