Prior to seeing what is probably the best use of YouTube ever in the history of mankind, I had only a vague idea of who the Jonas brothers were.
Male versions of Miley Cyrus, I assumed. Corporate creations designed to mess with teenage hormones and turn teens into purchasing robots. How terribly wrong I was. The Jonas brothers are clearly here to usher in a whole new definition of masculinity. Watch this video. Watch it. You’ll be so happy you did.
Bring the video unto mine eyes!

Ever wondered why it is that women can wear whatever they want, but if a man so much as slips a stiletto on, entire cities grind to a halt? I answer this question, with science.

Congratulations! The goals of women’s liberation have been achieved and even exceeded, in an entirely superficial sense. If you spend a little bit of time browsing the Interwebs, you will notice that there’s an invasion afoot. An invasion of content regarding the perfect man.
Don’t you want to be perfect, hmm?

Gentlemen, meet ZJ, a 20 year old YouTube sensation and confuser of those who insist on pesky gender labels. ZJ’s videos are an inspiration for men looking to live life as they feel on the inside, not as they have been trained to be on the outside.
From the article: Men wearing panties, men wearing dresses, men confusing people with their gender acrobatics. People who refuse to fit into tidy gender boxes can be problematic, and many men who wear lingerie are guilty of the crime of being hard to define. So how is the rest of the world supposed to deal with it? (Aside from becoming aggressive and violent, the traditional method for resolving cognitive dissonance related to gender issues.)
Why yes, this is relevant to my interests!

This isn’t an article, it is a question which arises from an email sent to me by a reader who wanted to learn tips for making his breasts appear bigger. This reader doesn’t appear to identify as feminine, in fact he states he is not transgendered, but would none the less like to fill out a bra.
The fun thing about the whole subject of men who wear lingerie is the way it dabbles deeply in the grey areas of gender identity. Most of us would probably assume (and when I say most would probably assume, I mean I assumed) that men who wanted breasts were identifying as women in some way. But it appears I am wrong, and instead some men just want breasts to fill out their bras but also wish to remain entirely masculine and identify as such.
What say you, faithful readers? Have you experienced similar desires as a heterosexual man to have breasts?

Men who wear lingerie. Men who wear women’s clothes. Men who desire to embrace the feminine within themselves. Some dismiss the activity as a perversion, something done by ‘sick’ men who cannot embrace the narrow identity of masculinity they were assigned by their x and y chromosomal make up.
But, one could argue, there is more to men wearing women’s clothing than just perversion. Perhaps, for some men , the wearing of women’s lingerie, and the experiencing of the feminine is one step on the road to enlightenment.

For a great many men who wear lingerie, the point of the exercise is to feel feminine. This has been confirmed over and over again by the wonderful readers and commenters who have come out of the lacy shadows and shared themselves with the world.
The question for today however, is just how feminine can a man get before he has become too feminine?

Nice to know that there’s at least one corner (or subway station) of the world where men wear whatever the hell they like…

This is a thoughtful piece about why some men enjoy creating female alter egos for themselves. Is it wrong or weird that ‘Jim’ wants to be ‘Jenny’ sometimes?
“It’s a strange aspect of the human condition that happiness always seems to exist outside the sphere of what and who we are. For some people, this search for external happiness manifests as a desire to be someone else entirely. It’s not enough to be just an average human being living an average life, so some people go so far as to create alter egos which satisfy their desire to be that which they are not.”
