Why do women think its appropriate for them to define the characteristics of a man?
Because feminists have self appointed themselves as cultural gatekeepers of sex defined statuses for both males and females, consequently the iconic images of traditional womanhood have been derided by feminist apologists in favor of non-womanly, unappealing female ‘gladiators’ who are unfeminine in every respect (while traditional masculinity has been re-imaged and sprinkled with homo-erotic flamboyance). The process of acquiring gender identities used to be a natural phenomena in which youth comfortably transitioned into their respective roles as men and women, today (because of feminism) young adults are inundated with mind-bending images and confusing messages that leave their gender development in disarray.
