The model of masculinity in today's West

In my job as a professional choreographer I get to see dozens of astonishingly handsome men who happen to be as gay as it gets, and unbelievable gorgeous women who are more lesbian than Rosy O'Donnell. And they all come in all different colors, styles and tastes.

And that makes me ponder: is the idea of 'masculine' and 'femenine' in our heads still valid? Moreover, is it possible to define a new prototype of masculine in these times of 'surprises'? Even more important: is it important at all to have certain "benchmark" of what is masculine and what is feminine?

Discuss!

How did you make the jump from lawyer to college professor to dance choreographer? (All the while helping out in a men's homeless shelter)

And in Finland, no less, where there must be an enormous demand for dancing attorneys with stage experience.

Incredible.

Thank you, the feeling is mutual; I've also been your true fan all along.

So, care to contribute to the thread?
