interesting article
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21151350 Nice quote from the article - "They would smoke pipes, they would wear hats that were very masculine. And this is why women adopted the heel - it was in an effort to masculinise their outfits."So masculinity is a subjective thing after all.
There is nothing worse than double standard!

Re: interesting article
This was already discussed over in the "In the News/Advocacy" section.
Of course "masculinity" is subjective; else it wouldn't have been progressively redefined into smaller and smaller boxes over the years. If it was concrete it would be an immutable given.
