by Joe B. METROSEXED UP Pt. 1. Yes, its late in the day for this but hey- readers that’s why I say ask or tell Joe cause I don’t know but you out there do. I’ve been hear the term "Metrosexual" to me it meant persons or persons unknown having freaky sex on trains but looking further into it the correct meaning is an ancient one. Whew,three more things. Where credit is due: Submitted by Mr. Van Norkov the date submitted Thurs.March,13, 2003 I thank Mr. V. Norkov and Langmaker at www. Langmaker.com for this information. Not to be sexist there are Metrosexual Women as well. I don not know how long this so called fad,trend has gone on but it seems to me its another Madison Avenue or other Metropolitan ad campaign to create another sales niche this time for ‘het men who are equally at home with culinary arts and shopping,with wives, sisters,or girlfriends as they are rebuilding vintage cars or working with steal,wood,making cabinets,and camping out. Why is it its alright for women to where men’s clothes,do whatever they can,change their minds but for men to simply dress neater,take better medical care of themselves its all of a sudden a big deal; because in isn’t. Channel’s 7’s "The New Masculinity? From Aug.5,2003 I still see red remembering what a very successful woman lawyer said about men "Their Generic" of course there are exceptions. This woman granted is beautiful,intelligent and has personal as well as hidden assets that can be used to sway men but all not even most men are the way she deems them however I could be wrong in that the same can be said of women who’s stock and trade are natural or enhanced feminine features that some men pay money to see and not touch. These women may be college students, studying,law,physics,or criminal justice system using their bodies at night brains in day is a cliche’ but are they generic because of their occupations obviously not but men are generic–hmmm, all things being unequal indeed. I’ve been thinking of Ms. Meredith Brooks "Bitch" lyrics the 90’s I AM Woman anthem of fierce female freedom. Well below though it is for and about women lets switch it from I’m a mother to(father)same song about men especially so called new metrosexual males. I'm a bitch,I'm a lover Now remember So take me as I am? Just as women don’t get men because we’re so varied and different they are forever on our asses about something and So take me as I am As in another lyric Just when you got me figured out-men’s seasons also changes. We are stronger men to constantly deal with women’s ability not only not knowing what they want but once getting it rejecting it. From men of the 50’s to the 90’s men have been changing as women have although slower we do change and don’t stop but its funny how as men gain more individual freedom women get anxious do you really want freedom for all or just for yourselves? When I start to make you nervous This way of the macho man is just as silly a label or tag name as the 1980’s Alpha Male or ‘90’s balanced male so now regular guys learning from women and gay men,also lesbian women in how to be more in tune is as silly. Is it really a revolution in men’s attitudes or is it what the whole of society ignored it until the market place saw dollar signs and ways to expand their cosmetic industry? Women talk of societies double standard economically, biologically, psychological,and sociological as well. All true especially economics even though there are women starting up small businesses and in college than men. We guys at least most of us grew up being told never to hit girls,women, because its not manly, unfair,and we’re stronger but my hard working single mama also said if they hit you hit ‘em back. Most of us didn’t hear that second warning. Girls and women took advantage this then in the 70’s and 80’s it’s the same no win situation fight a woman and men lose twice even in a fair fight of equal weight if men win it means nothing to beat up a women but it means the world for women to show up men physically. The best men can do when challenged is to back off,laugh it off taking the jibes and of course the traditional punch and kick to the balls makes women laugh its funny to them because it show’s we’re really vulnerable people. Most women don’t want to hurt men but a few do is it any wonder men are careful in martial arts. Men learn how to hurt, incapacitate, wound,knock out, maim, then kill. Women because they are constitutionally stronger but physically weaker compared to men women bypass hurt,wound,and go directly to maim-kill mode.(scratch eyes, grab pull at groin hard and fast.) First women say we kill ourselves in wars, over stress, don’t communicate, show little emotion, don’t touch them or play with their children as they should. Now that we do and we’re more expansive we’re not a different evolving species named Metrosexual? Come on it’s the same guys who always dressed snazzy,waited patiently as women shopped and likes cooking but never made a big deal as women sometimes need to. Its funny that women now worry as straight men get to be butterflies, peacocks,and retain male desire females. I don’t know about "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy,Its All Relative,or Six Feet Under, shows but it seems women get nervous as heterosexuals too has not only an eye or fashion from but can whip up meals,fix toilets,enjoy opera,cry at romantic movies,shop with girlfriends and wives and still desire them too. Isn’t it like women to want men to change not placing limits on them until we start looking, feeling better than them. They want tamed ‘Hets but not to out beauty them in their own realms. Well,we’re just following you lead ladies (some of us go to far as women do but I notice most women frown on going Dutch for dinner,(equally splitting the bill)rich women still want richer men to marry and won’t dare stoop to dating poor working men,women still can ware men’s clothes and we cannot where yours, lastly in dance clubs ladies go free while men pay. I know because there are more men than women these clubs. (if its free for women how come less women than men because they can dash from club to club for free and most men are not make of money.) Yet this unequal societal rule women most wish not to change because they can pick and choose from many men where they (women) are the queens. Like I said a few columns ago why not have women pay to get in and men get in free at some clubs? One young female friend said "It wouldn’t work because society sets the rules. This very svelte, lovely multi racial woman knows the rules are wrong but since it works in her favor it "Oh, well-Joe." When society sets up ways,rules unequal for one in favor of the other both sexes suffer injustice no matter which is advantaged or inconvenienced. What do you think about it folks?
