I suppose men wanted to look serious and educated and not "flippant". You don't have to go very far back to find men enjoying flowers and showing off their legs as much as (or more than) the ladies.
I hope Jesus gives us back our legs and flowers during the millennium.

Society dictates what is "masculine/manly." That's what is so lame about the whole thing.

How about this gentleman, who likes flowers, dressing up, and showing his legs?
But do not impugn his masculinity - he is likely to have a rather sharp dagger somewhere on his person, and will feel impelled to cause you severe discomfiture.
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
Can someone take a moment and define 'misogyny' as it is being used in the context of this thread. I know the dictionary definition, but before I embark on commenting on what is bound to be an inflammatory topic, I'd like to know what definition we are operating under.

We don't know if he truly enjoyed flowers because he isn't wearing them!
The man wearing this jacket enjoyed flowers.

Not to mention the hundred or so straight pins required to make that lace collar look good. He could give you a serious pricking.

Actually, much of it is grounded in both biology and preexistent ontological characteristics of human beings as literal children of God, which is why feminine and masculine characteristics are so uniformly similar across numerous cultures, even given the various accretions and differences that exist, from culture to culture.
Relativism is a poor basis on which to do analysis of social and cultural dynamics, and postmodern relativism, which intensifies and focuses such relativism until it collapses into its self contradictory nihilistic core, is, as of the present, the worst the Great and Spacious Building has to offer.

And as for uniformity amongst cultures...yeah, I imagine that patriarchal cultures would all be failry similar in this regard.

Wow! So many five dollar words! One dollar words are better. Five dollar words don't make you sound smarter. It just makes you seem desperate to sound smart.
You might want to try again in the language that you speak daily instead of the language that you think makes you sound erudite.
