The Feminization of Men

By Bill Barnwell, hat tip: Dina

“Whatever happened to the virtue of masculinity? It is long gone if today’s popular culture is any indicator. There was once an era where a man was supposed to be a man. He looked like a man, he talked like a man and he acted like it. Not so anymore. Today, if you want to be an appealing, attractive male, then you had better feminize yourself, and feminize yourself quick. It reminds me of a joke I used to tell my friends in high school: “If you want to get chicks, you have to act like one sometimes.” The sad part is, while we laughed, I knew in the back of my mind that there was a good deal of truth to my quip.

“Each sex puts on his or her best face and packages themselves to attract the opposite sex. What do women find attractive today? Sissies. Women are CONSTANTLY trying to get men to look more like women. Dye or highlight your hair, be real slim and wear form-fitting clothing, get an earring, get rid of excess body hair, etc etc etc. If you look at the average teen magazine or other periodical directed towards 13–30 year olds, take a look at the men, er, boys that they feature. There is always some scrawny, smiling twit, with messy highlighted hair wearing tight clothing or the preppy sissy outfits peddled by the likes of American Eagle or Abercrombie, with his cute little earring and totally smooth body, devoid of any chest or other body hair. If you ask me, they look more like yuppies from San Francisco, yet this is what passes as “hot” to the average young female.”

TheStateOf . . . Manhood in America. Do the ladies agree that sissies and metrosexuals are now preferred? Among black men, I (J) feel like the notion has developed that you are more masculine if you don’t have a woman than you are if you do. And that a man who has just one woman is somehow under her control.
