I really don't care either way. To each his own. We just should have equal treatment. If we accept and encourage women for taking on male fashion and characteristics, we should accept and encourage men who take on female fashion and characteristics. If we judge and disdain men for it, we should judge and disdain women as well!

Last time I checked, gender equality included men also.

Agreed. For instance, I think that it should be just as acceptable for males to wear makeup, dresses, skirts, boots, and necklaces as it is for females to wear things such as pants.

Agreed.

Heck, I remember how my dad told me that a male shaving his chest, armpits, stomach, et cetera was gay, to which I responded that I simply don't care.

You might be right in regards to this.

Of course, masculine males can also be gay, and straight and bisexual males can also be feminine.

Perhaps, but only if you are into females.

IMO if youre a woman who finds out that the guy you like has feminine characteristics or tendencies
and you cant handle it then just pack your bags and leave him. He's much better off without you.

Personal experience? Well considering that I myself live in the south i consider that to be firsthand knowledge.

Just check out craigslist for whichever area youre interested in. Its quite easy to see the types people go for.

Heres an example: "im looking for someone who is looking for a relationship like myself... not a hookup. i am looking for someone close to my own age. please be open minded and like the same things like me( four wheelin, fishin, mudding, ridin around, and laughin til ur stomach hurts)."

Now i dont know about you but the interests she lists arent exactly feminine. Theyre entirely masculine. Thats stuff you do with your buddies, not your girl friend.

Well you backed up my point. There’s nothing resourceful about a fem-a-nina man who looks to the yellow pages when the ****ter is full. Sure he might be good looking, but some women see these guys as less than Alpha.
