    Little Riley Has Some Good Questions

    There’s a really cute viral video doing the rounds of a little girl in the “girls” section of a toy store, surrounded by pink packaging and dolls, asking her father why the boys toys look different and are separated in another section. “Why do you think that is Riley?” Asks her father. “Well, the companies [...]

    Oh You Pretty Things

    We may have a case of this topic becoming the “default fluff piece”, because lately there has been a lot of stories about men adopting fashion that is usually designated as feminine. In recent weeks I’ve seen stories about: “mandals” (male sandals), “murses” (purses), “mantyhose” (pantyhose), “mankinis” (swimsuit variants), “manties” (male panties), “manscara” (male mascara) [...]

    Gender Neutral Preschool

    The aptly named “Egalia” in Stockholm is taking steps to break down gender barriers.  Teachers will not address the children as “him or “her”, preferring the word “friends” rather than girls and boys. “Society expects girls to be girlie, nice and pretty and boys to be manly, rough and outgoing,” says Jenny Johnsson, a 31-year-old [...]

It said that though it understood that Mr Pejic was male and not female, ‘the model is [...]

    Dude Quilting

    I have seen two articles about men making quilts in as many days so I think that warrants a mention.  Yin YangBlend™ is about the blurring of the sexes, and I think  men quilting falls neatly into that wave. The first one is a little bit more legit than the other… depending on your point [...]

    Goodbye Beer Gut!

    Yin Yang Blend™ is about “balancing the sexes” Now guys get to be as dishonest about their unwanted bulges as women! Yep, Spanx is now for men too. We’ve seen t-shirts that claim to have shaping qualities however, we ladies know the true power of the Spanx. It might feel like getting into a wet [...]

    Toys R Us for Reinforcing Stereotypes?

    I am honestly not sure which is more newsworthy, the fact that a group of Swedish sixth graders are accusing Toys R Us of reinforcing damaging notions of gender roles, or the fact that the accusation is based on a two year long study of the effects of gender roles that the students have been undertaking.

    So, the rise of the male polish begins. And I’m not just talking about Cuccio’s spa line. You’ve got your share of retail products as well, from Europop lines to “Man Glaze”.
