Move over Rambo, you're cramping new man's style

It figures that this story is coming from France.
Macho man is an endangered species, with today's male more likely to opt for a pink flowered shirt and swingers' clubs than the traditional role as family super-hero, fashion industry insiders say.
After I finish this Blog entry I'm off to buy my first pink flowered shirt and then head to the swinger's club instead of picking my son up at school, then heading to the gun range for my normal Wednesday night IDPA match!
"The masculine ideal is being completely modified. All the traditional male values of authority, infallibility, virility and strength are being completely overturned," said Pierre Francois Le Louet, the agency's managing director. Instead today's males are turning more towards "creativity,sensitivity and multiplicity," as seen already in recent seasons on the catwalks of Paris and Milan.
We here in Texas have names for the males described in the above quote. "Queer and sissy" are two that come to mind immediately. Another thing, I don't think you can accurately judge the masculinity of males in the world by seeing what nancy boys like these are wearing on the catwalks in Paris and Milan.
