The Pussification of the Western Male

Nicely done. So Macho and Womanly. Any commentary about the way society perceives those words?

To me, "macho" brings to mind a picture of the swaggering white guy (perhaps italian) with the "I can crush a beer can on my skull, I'm so cool" mentality...the kind that wears leisure suits and struts down the road to Bee Gee's music.

Womanly to me, suggests the matronish type of personality, baking cookies and home when you get home from school type, wearing an apron and keeping a tidy house.

So, 70's on the macho thing, 50's on the womanly thing.
