"What is masculine and what is feminine are not absolute; They are defined by social institutions that profit, benefit, and rely on sexism as a means of social domination. I’m sure anyone can think of men who have adopted qualities that were at one point in time ‘strictly for the women.’ Some examples include: Doing your hair, dressing in expensive, fancy clothes, makeup, and waxing and trimming. But while the integration of ‘feminine’ activities is the first step in diffusing the boundary that separates what is for men and what is for women, the process by which men have adopted these once feminine things only increases the distance between them. Men don’t pluck their eyebrows, for example, they man-scape; this is because ‘plucking’ is for girls, and adding man to the front of anything transforms it into an ultra masculine activity that a man can now take part in. This isn’t progress; this is reducing dissonance caused by one part of your brain saying that you want to do something because you think you’ll enjoy it, and another part of your brain (the part that contains your social character) that must make excuses for this activity because other men don’t do it."
