@drumsta, It's interesting that this phenomenon, which I think has mostly been confined to Western Europe and North America appears now to be a problem across Eastern Europe as well.

I am a product of Eastern European immigrants and masculinity (as well as healthy appreciation for the feminine) has always been strong in my family. But I guess that's changing.

Thanks for your comments!

PS. I'm curious now about other places in the world like Asia or South America and how society feels about the idea of masculinity.
