Piece of advice, y'all: when you respond to someone's reasoned, calmly offered opinion with hysterical invective, it just makes you look bad...like you aren't as confident in your views as you appear. It seems I have hit a nerve. You doth protest too much.

Yes, it's going through its death throes. I'm glad it hurts your fee-fees and makes you confused. Perhaps one day you'll understand.

The reason I am reacting to this seemingly-trivial photo essay is because it is just one example of the ways masculinity is under attack. Women today have tons of ways to feel great about being women (grrl power, the belief that every time they succeed at something they are bringing barriers down, etc.)

But in a country where 7-year-old boys are suspended from school for pretending a stick is a gun, and talking to a woman in a coffee shop is considered dangerous harassment, men don't have the same support.

What is the point of this photo essay anyway? Men and women wear different clothes?

Part of dignity is having enough respect for yourself that you don't let other people clown you or make you look ridiculous. My answer would have been, "Sorry, that's not for me." THAT is feeling comfortable in your own skin.

Not give a fuck about your opinion, for one. If being a "real man" is being comfortable in one's own skin, I'd say it's being performed more than successfully.

@28: "I have a problem with doing it because you think it makes you look like a sensitive new-age guy"

If you're so set on your strict gender binaries if you can't stand any lighthearted variance, the issue is you. Not the "SNAG" or whatever slurs you're tossing around.

You're obsessing about what other people think about you to the point where you're telling others what they're allowed to do in public. Get help, dude. You care far too much and it's bleeding into you being literally intolerant about the fun of others.

It's charming, and you're a classless insecure douche.
