Of course, I’m a huge fan of David Bowie’s personality, creativity and stylistic gender ambiguity. Since the sixties, men have experimented with both macho and androgynous types of self-presentation and very few have mastered it as well as he did.<\/p>\n

Androgynous looks are very trendy in the 20th century, long hair and make-up brands for men and at the same time women claim social traits and behaviors that were considered masculine not so long ago.<\/p>\n

But is masculinity solely a matter of looks or a matter of behavior?<\/p>\n

Far from what is still commonly believed in large areas of the world, masculinity is not an birth characteristic to the male gender, it is before all a social construct defined by family, education and environment. Beards and moustaches may be back, but today’s men are more inclined to be caring and showing their feelings and emotions.<\/p>\n

In the post-#metoo era of today’s modern societies, women are fighting for equality, respect and against sexism, and that’s great, it was about time!<\/p>\n

However, where does that leave men? It seems that the male identity is in crisis: men are not sure on how to behave around women, and women are not sure on how to behave around men. The stereotypes are dead.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, both men and women -and all the other genders, play a fundamental role in human interactions, no matter the looks or the postures. Let’s not forget the Yin-Yang, there is a balance to keep here, no one is the enemy… LOVE should rule. Let me know what you think in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
