| A platoon of US Marines could wipe out the entire crop of Eurotrash hybrid "men" described in this story. I declare shenanigans! This is "metrosexual" repackaged as Austin Powers (with a touch less testosterone and and a lot more moisturizer and "pink flowered shirts"). This study was done by a bunch of effeminate fashion industry types (not that there's anything wrong with it) engaged in wishful thinking because their industry is in decline. Nine months from now, they will be pining again for the butch, masculine Rambo-types (as long as it fits into their sales projections). I think Peggy Noonan was right when she wrote shortly after 9/11 that we would be seeing newfound respect for the stable, strong heroic men in our midst -- the firefighters who ran into the building despite the obvious risks, the soldiers who are taking it to our enemies, the President who sticks to his guns, etc. |

| #31 I saw this article and it reminded me of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series where they ran into the ship full of hairdressers and telephone sanitizers, who were the vanguard of the fleet of refugees from a dying planet. Problem was they kept looking in the rearview mirror for the other ships containing everyone else and didn't see anything. We need to start building a ship for people like the ones promoting this drivel. |

| #27 "I have never wanted to hit somebody as badly as I want to hit that, that, thing right now." Do you really want to hurt him? Do you really want to make him cry?? LOL |

| #18 Has no one else noticed that the picture shows someone neither masculine nor feminine, but just plain goofy? Jkrank of Sofia Sideshow contrasts and compares with an even worse example from a couple years ago. He forgot to include this Yahoo link, though, so I'm glad Tibor posted it. That one was from Sydney, by the way. I remember because I commented on it at the time. (Note: the link is now broken there. But it's the same pic as at Sofia Sideshow.) |

| #15 Paris has always produced fashion no real woman could wear in public. Now it produces fashion that no real man can wear in public. What else is new? |

| #14 FROM TFA: Arnold Schwarznegger and Sylvester Stallone are being replaced by the 21st-century man who "no longer wants to be the family super-hero", but instead has the guts to be himself, to test his own limits. That pic is what Freddie Kruger looks ike in Eurostan, sans the razor glove and with a face-lift. |

| #11 Ok, per the article, the traditional guy still holds sway in China. China is kicking Europe's ass economically. Connection? Nah, didn't think so.... |

#10 A platoon of US Marines could wipe out the entire crop of Eurotrash hybrid "men" described in this story.Hell, Tibor, any American high school girl's cheerleading squad south of the Mason-Dixon line could wipe them out. In fact, I'm pretty sure the over-50 women in my volunteer rescue squad (of which I am one, so I know) could squash the entire lot of them like the vermin they are. In spite of our arthritis, etc. (If you ask real nice, T, we'll even let you hold our coats. :-D) |

| #2 Excellent news. If the Democrats make use of the same marketing data, Republicans won't have to worry about losing an election for the next 50 years. |

| #1 I remember seeing stories about this in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Typical liberal, wimpy-ass crap. Most men are men, most women are women and a few fall in between. Been like that since the stone age, ain't gonna change any time soon. |
