Men are leaping female bounds to become more like women.
They are painting their nails, gesturing and dressing femininely. our main feature, by Racheal Ninsiima, investigates this trend.
In this age of metrosexual styling, the concept of what is manly has become rather confused. While it's unlikely that men will go out fully to exhibit feminine behaviour, they are slowly taking on 'girly' behaviour, blurring the gender lines in the process. Some grow long nail (which they paint bright colours) and others style their hair the feminine way.

Ah geez.
Just let the poor guys be.
When I was struggling with my gender in high school it would have been nice to have more leeway into acting feminine. How come nobody thinks masculine women are self hating?

Quote from: Heartwood (Alex) on February 13, 2012, 08:52:00 AMHow come nobody thinks masculine women are self hating?From The Cement Garden: "Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it's OK to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading."
