Finally I can give my input into this.

The report is true. Man have become more feminine.
Not all but some.

If you look at it in terms of appearance than it is a good way, as a man makes sure he is well groomed, as most of the time woman always used to complain if a man wasn't well groomed. That I think has come from celebrity culture, especially footballers (i.e. Beckham, Ronaldo, etc..). But there are those of course who take it to far.
But also that culture is a bit to blame for man not doing such things as changing light bulbs and other manly tasks, as nowadays if you have money you can just call someone to come and do it for you, or you an even call your housing association to sent a maintenance guy over.

In terms of house chores, I believe it is good as well as long as the man doesn't over do it, otherwise he will start taking away the woman's true responsibilities at home, and she might start feeling worthless in some way. (correct my statement if it is incorrect). Also in this part some women used to complain if the guy wasn't helping out with house chores.
Reason why a man would do that is once he moves out of his parent's house and lives by himself, he has to do those things, isn't it.
My mum already taught me to do certain things from when I was quite young (washing my clothes, ironing, washing up, etc.) But the only thing I haven't done is cooking.
I believe it is good if a man can do those things, especially when it come to the days his wife is pregnant or sick, but as I said, the man cannot take over his woman's responsibility. It can also lead to the woman becoming complacent.

But with doing all that, the man still has to keep his integrity and discipline as a man knowing that he is the Head and not the Neck.
The neck is the woman and there can not be two necks in the house, it wouldn't look right. (Imagine the picture of a human being with two necks)

I like taking care of myself (grooming, fitness, etc.) doing house chores but I still need to know what my duties as a man are.

Have a blessed day.

A study about the male psyche in Britain over the past 80 years has revealed a shocking insight into the masculinity of blokes today. It seems that British men of today are more comfortable ironing than they are under a car bonnet!

‘The Brylcreem Mandom Report 2008’ delves into the changing behaviours and an attitudes of men aged 18-29 over the past eight decades, and asks the eternal question: ‘what makes the man?’ The results of the study show that over the last 80 years, men have steadily lost touch with their instinctual masculinity and the traditional roles that defined them.

As they’ve put down their handyman tools, lost their foothold as the ‘man of the house’, they’ve become obsessed with their image and abandoned emotional restraint. An average young bloke in the 1920s and 40s considered himself to be masculine and was at ease with his role as stoic provider and protector.

He was adept at traditional ‘manly’ chores, with 73 per cent competent at motor mechanics, 90 per cent able to change a fuse and 80 per cent able to put up a shelf for his Mrs. He was the head of his household and would rather die than cry in front of someone, with half never shedding a tear at all.

When it came to the home, only 25 per cent knew how to turn the iron on and just 27 per cent were comfortable in the kitchen. Today, over 60 per cent are competent ironers, with only 10 per cent able to maintain a car - and almost half can’t even change a tyre.

Three quarters regularly don an apron in the kitchen and almost 80 per cent take on housework. Young men are so in touch with their emotions; a whopping 85 per cent are comfortable crying in front of others. Young blokes are also more obsessed with themselves than any other generation; with today’s young gun taking 26 per cent longer in front of the mirror than his counterpart in the 40s and two thirds striving to attain a perfectly toned body.

Nowadays, women are confident and men are confused. As men have been reacting to being told ‘how they should behave’ rather than ‘how they really are’, they’ve crossed the line from just ‘changing with the times’ to committing outright gender surrender.

According to the report, young British women agree that men have stepped too far into the feminine domain and want their ‘real men’ back, with two thirds of women aged 18-29 complaining they think men are not as masculine as before. Women still wants the leading man, with 60 per cent saying they’d prefer a man to take control in their relationship.

Its true, men have become more feminmine what with the skinny jeans, the ridiculas hair styles i see young men walk around with, two earrings the facial make up etc!
