Don't we hear that expression often (television, movies,etc), and usually with humor intended-more than a hint of demeaning and deprecation.
Isn't it sad that we males are discouraged from anything related to 'feminine side' other than caring for children,etc. What is so bad about having feelings for softer things, maybe babying our bodies, wearing comfortable smooth clothes-a sweet polyester blouse instead of a coarse shirt.
I wonder how others react when they hear this expression, usually accompanied by chuckles by others? Is the speaker actually speaking from the heart, disclosing inner orientation? please share your thoughts.
