THE EMASCULATION OF MEN

From the perspective of a male: The problem is that we are turning
into a nation of b**ches. The standard held up to us is entirely
female. This can be easily witnessed in the rise of the
"metrosexual," the straight man so feminized that, like a woman, he
is obsessed with his appearance, daubs on makeup and opts for
cosmetic surgery. Today, men are supposed to have "relationship
skills," and they are expected to be capable of achieving "greater
intimacy" and to openly express their emotions. They are supposed
to be "soul mates" and to "communicate" like girlfriends, not act
like testosterone-charged lovers. But at the same time, today's
woman has still not shed her typical female hypocrisy; as usual,
she still wants it both ways. When there's hard work to be done or
bills to be paid, that's when she wants us to act like "real men."
