 * The new ideal, according to Marian Salzman, Ira Matathia and Ann O’Reilly in their new book, “The Future of Men”, is the “übersexual”. In contrast to metrosexuals, who, they write, risk being “sad sacks who seem incapable of retaining their sense of manhood in postfeminist times”, übersexuals “mark a return to the positive characteristics of the Real Man of yesteryear (strong, resolute, fair)”. Yet they are poised to not only change a diaper but to discuss how they feel about it.
