assertiveness of women

With increasing assertiveness of women in the society there has been a complementary increase in Male femininity. A large number of men have become increasingly feminine in their outlook towards life. There could be a number of reasons for this. Empathy for women and a understanding for their way of life are the core reasons.
Many men today are more effeminate than earlier, interspersing social norms and Gender Roles. Effeminacy among men is an important and often understated cause of Gender Role Reversal. Male effeminacy is often scoffed upon and subject to ridicule by people who rigidly follow set 'norms' for social behavior. Femininity among men is characterized by long hair up to the shoulder, clean shaven body and an indulging in women accessories and mannerisms. Male femininity is not a recent phenomenon. It has been around for centuries. Yet, feminine men still face discrimination in the society and are ridiculed wrongly for their appearance. Male femininity though common in Westernized countries, is still scorned upon in Conservative and Traditional families as it is viewed as a sign of breaking off of values of the society. A typical feminine Male has long hair, shaven beard, legs and underarms, tinged with female perfume and clothing which are all characteristics of a female.
There have been quite a few incidences where male children were brought up as female by parents. A British kindergartener had his first haircut since his birth last month after ridicule from classmates. In conservative Afghanistan too there has been an instance of femininity induced from parents. But mostly Male femininity is a result of the individual's free wish so the society must not thrust societal values upon them as their free speech and wish is equal to those who follow societal 'norms' and the Gender Role. Another reason for increasing effeminacy among men could be increasing exposure and choices that people earlier did not enjoy. Feminine men are a close knit community
