Dames

Dames (Index)

It’s not easy being a man in a world where women seem to want to be as tough as guys, and as delicate as fairy princesses, often at the same time.

 

For too long, manliness has been silent in its own defense; for too long, it has been silenced by the voice of feminism. On the one hand, the world seems to have been feminized, yet on the other hand, it is still a man's world, and in a strange way even more so, because both sexes are now engaged in employments that reward the manly qualities of aggression and assertiveness. In sum, Women have shown themselves capable in careers formerly closed to them, but seem no longer to enjoy the pleasures of being a woman. They know how to imitate men but are confused about how to remain women while doing so.
