Are aggressive young women to blame for gender-confused young men?
  • That Post article is just weird

    Johnny Depp's foppishness is hardly new -- hello, Prince? Michael Jackson? Elvis? The Beatles? Rocky Horror?

    Straight boys have been wearing pastel polos for at least 30 years. Remember the Preppy Handbook? Miami Vice?

    I don't know any young women who insist on paying for dinner. Most are just thrilled when a guy can afford to take them out to somewhere other than McDonald's.

    But I do know lots of women, young and otherwise, who are frustrated with passive, indirect, slacker guys. Did women, with their insistence on having degrees, jobs and opinions, create these wimpy guys? I don't know, but if so, the male ego is a lot more fragile than I thought.

    Buck up, boys.
