Re: Sensitive guys

[cushlamochree]

It didn't start in the 70s. The idea that male human beings only started having or expressing feelings in 1973 is kinda ridiculous. You could probably say that the social acceptability of a certain way of expressing certain feelings in American culture increased a lot in the late 60s, early 70s, but even then, it's not like it was new.

I think they mean being represented in fiction, or maybe when it became acceptable to portray sensitive guys as something okay rather than hilarious or weak.

Re: Sensitive guys

I think it goes in cycles. It's not like men were never ever ever portrayed as sensitive any time before the 70s.

I think the same points still apply, though. If you take a wide enough lens there's plenty of times when being emotional and 'sensitive' in fiction was acceptable. You could call it one of the central themes of the Romantic and proto-Romantic movements if you wanted to. So the idea that this was something invented in the 70s, again, is kind of ridiculous. Maybe if they meant the 1770s, when Sorrows of Young Werther was published.

And it's also the kind of idea that often seems to come along with some weird assumptions about culture and politics so I'm more than a little leery of the whole idea.
