I tried to get him to wear a nice wool scarf with his overcoat, and he refuses. Personally, I like the little Panama type hats (I'm assuming we're talking about the type of hat pictured below), and I don't think they feminine at all.

Bogart's hat is a classic "Fedora".

This is a Panama Hat:



A Fedora hat is basically made of felt. A Panama hat can have a "Fedora" style, but they are made from the plaited leaves of a Carludovica palmata, which is a toquilla straw plant.

I have a Fedora hat in my closet. But, I am looking for a very nicely woven Panama Hat. They are hard to find locally. I want a very fine weave.

And, BTW, Metrosexual men turn me off - like totally!

Who defines what is "sissy" and what is "manly?"

Washing dishes for your wife? That's manly. Having a prissy hissy fit because the soapy water ruined your designer silk shirt? *Ahem*

Anyway...is it necessary to define it? Have you ever met a man who acted like a girl? Prissy? I know some pretty manly men who wear designer jeans and have a faux hawk, so while the quiz is funny, it's not [all] that. BUT, if a man talks like a girl, gestures like a girl, walks like a girl and acts like a girl--we call that prissy.

I'd say that real men define what's manly and feminine women define what's prissy. When the lines get crossed, it's obvious to everyone in the vicinity.

IMO, there's a difference between prissy and a "sissy." I call a coward a sissy. That's not an admirable quality, but it's not quite the same as being prissy. (effeminate)

Darn. Was hoping that washing the dishing thing would be feminine. Us men need to take back the culture haha.

My point is, you, me, CULTURE defines masculine and feminine. Which is why you suggest "it doesn't need defining." Well, it doesn't to you or I, but my question wasn't to define it, but rather pointed to WHO or WHAT defined it, because any review of history will show that it obviously changes.

Ya, your right. Usually the type of cloths and other adornments including hair styling is more an issue of wealth rather than an indication of the "manliness" of a guy. I am sure John Wayne didn't go to a $5 barber (of course, maybe he did... I don't know).

And I don't consider being prissy all that attractive in a woman either. Granted, it is easier to stomach then when a man is, but I do not care for either. LOL

No, I don't think culture really defines it. Femininity & masculinity are innate. Science has proven that boys and girls are different from birth, in both personality and behavior. (And the way they use their brains.)

Culture may enhance it in certain ways, but pretty much I can tell a manly man no matter what culture he's from and vice versa. Manly men are just as obvious in Scotland as they are in the USA. Feminine women are just as easy to spot in India as they are in China.

The outward trappings aren't what make a person truly masculine or feminine, although it certainly contributes. It's more behavioral. The trappings are only reflective of a leaning one way or the other.

Totally agree with you. Strength is a character trait--not a point of gender distinction.
