I believe I have one of those emo boys at home. But that was his mother's doing, not society.

Actually, Netz--I think you are dead wrong. I think the young men have absorbed "feminization" to the degree to which they are capable; without bad faith. The problem is that boys are not nor never will be girls.

At root I don't see that much difference between "Bring me my slippers!" and "Bring me a blankie and a Xanaax for my Inner Child."

It's not the entitlement or even the high-maintenance factor that's unattractive; it's the whiny, needy, navel-gazing, inner childhood.
I'm all for metrosexuals, though, particularly if they're ambigous, misogynistic, anal sex aficionados.

There's definitely a "demand for nurturance" in dominance. None of us outgrow that.

Maybe it's because I'm bisexual, but I can tell you the emo types come in both genders. Whiny, oversensitive, clingy, needy, dependent pains in the ass, all of them. Gods save us.
Thing is, many male subs think they're supposed to be wimps. Au contraire, guys! You can submit and still be strong - ask many fem subs.

The banker is emblematic of an alarming moment in gender relations here in New York: the rampant spread of the emo man (or perhaps more appropriately, emo boy). Originally referring to a floppy-limbed, "sincere" indie-rock movement, emo gathered speed during the Clinton feel-your-pain era. Now it has landed squarely in the laps of disgusted Manhattan women like Ms. Hackemann.
backlash anyone?
These bitches hoping for a return to the 50's are going to be sorely sorry when they get their wish.
pick your poison, yeah, needy people are annoying. And it seems like they proliferate. Maybe the cult of NEED in sexuality is just part of a big picture. Needy clingy women are a fact of dating, needy clingy men make news. That's funny.
Could be the liberals fault. Could also be the conservatives...finally the individual liberated into complaint will overdo it.
that attachment gave me a warm fuzzy. I wanna steal it for my av.

Re: never let it be said that I'm not prescient....
same song, diff tune.
Also, notice this is a white middle-class (and younger) phenom. I don't know these guys, and bet if I was back dating ex-cons, hippie construction workers, Morroccan butchers, unemployed bikers from the Canary Islands, etc I STILL wouldn't be meeting these guys.
Just sounds like the world is going to the Subbies, to me. (Have you noticed it's both the male and female subbies who outnumber the dom/mes? Is this a sign of selfish, helpless overwhelm -- the modern wish to be taken care of, in a world that seems increasingly out of control?)

Are those crows or ravens that go around muttering in our town? BIG birds. Tall as smallish dogs, cocky as hell, primordial hunch-shouldered walk, they eat roadkill and yell at passers-by. Damn those are some disturbing birds.
Couldn't tell what they were muttering and raving -- could have been 'nevermore' I suppose.

But how many of them are really submissive and how many of them are just passive aggressive whiners?

and do true submissive persons need to be "taken care of" or even want that?bridgeburner said:

I think everyone wants to be cared for in some way. No matter how independent minded there will always be times in every person's life when it would be great to just lay your head and be comforted.
Some people need more care-taking than others, but I don't see that as a particularly Top or bottom issue. I mean, a personal slave can offer an awful lot of caretaking. Does that make the slave's master less of a Top? No more than providing for ones dependants makes one a bottom.
