Men Are The New Women
“Nobody knows what the hell they’re supposed to be doing anymore.”
- Jennifer Armstrong
“I never let myself develop a set of balls. Or rather society stifled my balls. … Neutered; that’s how society prefers its men today.”
- Paresh Kumar
Are Men the new Women? Are more and more men taking on traditionally feminine gender roles?
The phrase “Men are the New Women” comes from Leah, the founder of the streetwear designer label Married to the MOB (Most Official Bitches). In an interview, she explains what that phrase means. Basically: some men are now wusses.
So is it true? Men taking on traditionally feminine gender roles and becoming wusses?
I asked a few friends and looked online for some opinions. Here’’s what I gathered:
- “OMG they totally are! All the guys I”ve been meeting are SUCH wusses!” – SW
- “I don”t know about all guys, but [my friend] is a hot stud AND such a girl at the same time. He even called once to talk about his feelings and how we can communicate better.” – NK
- “Just look at my gay boyfriend for your answer. What do you think?” – LE
- “Maybe it’’s the whole metrosexual craze that’’s turning men into women. Personally, I love it. Sensitive men are so much better than the deadbeats I”ve been dating.” – AB
- “If you mean something like metros, ugh, I can”t stand that. Give me a real man any day.” – EL
- “Yup, some guys are definitely turning into pussies now. Makes the rest of us real men that much more desirable to women, if you ask me. That’’s why I”ve got so many dates nowadays.” – BW
- “I don”t want to have to ask a guy out. I like it when a guy asks me out. It shows… I don”t know… It shows that he’’s a man.” – LL
- “More and more guys are talking about commitment, biological clocks, and—ugh—their feelings.” – JA
- “In fact, not so long ago, I actually heard a boy tell me, ”Not tonight, I have a headache.” Seriously? SERIOUSLY? You’re taking this away from us?” – EM
- “The new fall season [of TV] shrinks the number of belittling stereotypes [that men] may occupy to just two: cads or dads.” – AS
- “In China, Shanghai men are well known as ”Pa Lao Po”, which means ”afraid of wives”. Shanghai women are the dominant ones in the family.” – 8A
Sounds like a resounding YES from the sources I”ve found. Men certainly are the new women – at least some of them. What do you think?
