Why are city boys so feminine?

Most country boys, who can hunt and shoot hunting rifles and fish, would get eaten alive in an inner city gang environment. Most city boys would have a hardscrabble go of it in the country.

That's not because they are feminine or masculine, it's because of experience.

Also, fashion is more important in the city, so city boys generally pay more attention to clothes than country boys.

@Mamapolo2016 But how many city boys wear women's fashion? They don't in Manchester even though it's an equalitarian city.

@Mamapolo2016 I wish that weren't true but unfortunately it is. Life in the city can be pretty fucked up if you're in a bad neighborhood or whatever. Just yesterday here in Chicago, eight children were shot, in eight separate shootings, in various parts of the city. Two were accidents involving kids playing with a loaded gun, but six of them were people shooting at kids, or shooting at an adult but missing and hitting a nearby kid.
@Crazychick How many girls wear 'men's clothes'? A whole lot. Far fewer boys wear what are considered 'girly clothes'. Does wearing men's clothes automatically confer masculinity? Does wearing women's clothes automatically confer femininity? It's mostly society's perception.

@Mamapolo2016 I often wear jeans and a T-shirt, but my figure makes it obvious that I am not in any way "masculine".
@Crazychick Exactly. It's what's in the box, not the wrapping paper. Scots and kilts. In some cultures men and women both traditionally wear skirted robes. Are men who wear dresses by choice more feminine? Probably, but it's not the dress that does it.

@Mamapolo2016 Scottish guys don't look feminine in kilts.
@Crazychick My point.
