“Men are the new women,”

Somehow I did not get the memo.

They don’t look like they’d last very long out past where the sidewalks end.

“I know so many guys—gay, straight, whatever—who steal a woman’s concealer and dab a little on their fingers when no one is looking.”

I know so many men who think that a woman's concealer is a pistol that is too small for a man's hand.

Nor are these "modern American 'males.'"

I don’t get it. What kind of consumer are they looking for? Are there men who want to wear eyeliner only if it’s called “eye grenade?”

From the article “... is packaged in glossy black with playful macho names—“Eye grenade” mascara, “Jackhammer” cleanser.”

Would a metrosexual want to purchase “eye grenade”?

Metrosexuals are not new. And just ask JC Penney how profitable it is to cater to them.

In the 17th and 18th centuries it was common for men of means to wear brightly colored, elaborately patterned clothing with plenty of lace and silk, fancy wigs and face makeup, elaborate jewelry and multicolored hose, high heels and hair bows.

But from 1820 to 1960 the trend was increasingly toward unadorned, cropped hair, plain and dark patterns and colors, simple fabrics, minimal adornment.

The end of Beau Brummel and the return of the fop.

OH My! Are they meterosexuals? My Mama said to me a long long time ago “Why would you wear clothes with someone elses name on it? Do they pay you to advertise?”

As if single mom’s destructive votes weren’t enough, they’re polluting our country with effeminate girly boys who’ll vote just like they do.

God only knows.
When I watch a football game it looks like half the stands are wearing a jersey.
Has to be a real money maker.
