“the feminization of the American man is not a new topic. you would have read about it in the seventies, when names like Alan Alda and James Taylor served as media shorthand for "new male sensitivity., and you would have read about it in the eighties and nineties, when more than a few of those Teeinemized and prong shriveled squires from the No Nukes brigade suddenly sought to unshackle thier inner Iron Johns by pounding drums and dabbling face paint and running through the forest naked. What's different now is that male softness is no longer some fluky trend, some temporary lapse into quiche eating. It's normal.”
