What's false about it?

I suppose androgeny is good for some people, but not everyone approves. I went out to the IMAX showing of Ghost of the Abyss today, and I actually left feeling pretty shitty about myself and my generation. That's going to colour this post somewhat.

Sure, Lion Guy is primarily citing superficialities, manners of dress and demeanour, but if his thinking goes any deeper then I would have to agree with him. Men were once expected to be stoic, uncompromising and reliable. Men today largely act like bitches.

Seeing the dignity with which men like Murdock, Bride and Phillips died perfoming their duties I couldn't help but remark to myself that they were men. They were civilians, their occupations were not supposed to involve the risks they faced and embraced. Scores of others below decks continued shovelling coal into the four story engines to keep electricity running to the telelgraph that those on the lifeboats might be saved knowing their own lives would be forfeit for doing so.

I could care less how someone dresses, but there has been a shift and the men today are made of weaker stuff than those who came before them.
