It's not that men are becoming 'feminine' it's just that the standards for what constitutes masculinity have changed.

Again.......you make it sound like been masculine means being slob! What is you your problem?

Roundtree, Connery and Selleck, took showers put on some Brute and combed their hair! And I'm sure the brotha had some Afro Sheen! Guys use stuff!! Ok??

But he ain't wearing no eye liner and eye brow pencil either.
It's gotten to be ridiculous today!

Enter the new age thinking.
We won't keep score. Everyone is a winner. Everyone gets a trophy and they are all the same.
Lesson learned? We are all entitled.
You should not feeling guilty for hurting the other guy's feelings, simply for being better at something.

It also does not teach children that being a part of a team, where everyone pulls together and does their best is rewarded, because w/o winners you do not need to play fair, get along, or strive to achieve something together, because everyone gets a prize no matter how selfish, lazy they are.

Then why is it that the really nice guys I have known had a hard time getting women? These were the guys I'd trust to go out with my sister, and they were routinely either turned down, or crapped on when they did find a girl.

Then I knew guys that I would not let talk to my sister, guys who used women, the fast and furious, atypical macho types; they had more women then you could shake a stick at.

Edit: No pun intended

I think some dudes are confusing feminine qualities with actually giving a **** about other people.

You are the one defining masculine, not me. All I said in my original post was women like men who are groomed, I never said anything about masculinity or that masculine men were dirty.

Silly poll. Define feminine, define masculine. Answers will vary.

Amen, I agree 120%!!!

The physical feminization of men is the logical extension of a culture which has systematically demonized masculinity.

One of the cornerstones of radical feminism is the notion that gender distinction is not a naturally occurring concept, but rather, one which was created by males for the purpose of exerting dominance over females. Thus, in radical feminist philosophy; girls play with dolls not because of a female tendency towards nurturing, but because a patriarchal culture has pointed them in that direction. Conversely, boys play "war games" because they are acculturated to do so, not because they have a naturally-occurring level of physical aggression.

The message we're expected to take from this is that we are all born without gender distinction. Therefore, as a culture, we need only to imbue our children with positive (feminine) traits while teaching them the evil of traditionally masculine characteristics.
