Questioning About Male Feminization and Female Masculinization

[ETERNAL_LIFE_666]

I am still having trouble understanding how men have been feminized and women have been masculinized? Please give some examples related to todays current trends in society.

It's different for each society and culture, so it's a very difficult question to answer.

In the past men wore high heels, wore wigs, makeup, etc. because it was just the fashion and culture at the time (france, egypt, etc.) and it was considered manly. Today, it's considered feminine to do so.
Today there is still an expectation not to express emotion and are expected to be the sole breadwinner etc. because these are masculine things to do. They shoulder a lot, and end up with higher suicide rates.

It's different for women too. In the past they were expected to have children, and were highly discouraged from having jobs. Could not own land (except in some societies). Could not vote or go to school. education for women was considered taboo. Because they were considered manly activities. a woman's life was about domesticity and providing children.

The generation before us grew up in the 1950s, so you bet they have some cultural expectations of what to do/what not to do. So do the people who grew up in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and up until now.

These societal roles are ever changing. People's opinions on what men and women should/shouldn't do will always depend on the person answering.

I hope you have someone provide a nuanced answer.

This is my personal opinion but neither are really approximating the other gender to me. They are becoming sexless and void of either altogether, like the Greys. The average soyboy is reverting to a strange childlike state, and the average 'badass woman' in media now is becoming more void of heroic and active characteristics (going away from someone like say Ripley, and turning characters like this into Anita Sarkeesian...)

The enemy dumping plastics and all kinds of other nasties that destroy hormones has something to do with it.

Some people are just naturally like that. Everyone has both male and female energies inside their soul, and everyone's balance is different of which energies they got more of.

Are you seriously reducing the femininity and masculinity on such superficial things as fashion?

Look at some pictures of men in the early 1900's compared to now. Good examples are college pictures. You will notice our ancestors were much more masculine than us now, in appearance and demeanor. Additionally, note how much more feminine some women are, compared to their mothers. I think this points to some widespread biological shifting of feminization on the populace, trying to weaken it.

Fashion is a reflection of societies values, mainstream thoughts, and it's the expression of sexes. It's not useless or superficial.

It would be helpful if you read past that sentence about fashion.. because I went into other things.
