Oh, for the Love of God, No!

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.
