Problems with this article

Men "continually test the masculinity of their associates"?
"Femininity is rooted in . . . early development", but masculinity is "mastered" well into adulthood?
Comments on the "fake homosexual women" are just plain confusing, but certainly sounds POV.

Much of this article is well-written, but I think, Endomion, that you've made a few unsupportable statements here. I congratulate you on the work you've done, expanding this in a major way. I just think you've got a few things to tighten up, IMHO. Unschool 06:35, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~Well sue me, I have taken this article up from a little bitty stub.~~ At any rate, it's largely completed and I can fine tune it for NPOV tomorrow maybe. Endomion 06:39, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa, I think it's good work (didn't I say that?). My objections were largely in the first ¶, and, as I've said, you've done a lot of work. If I thought your writing sucked, I would have made the changes myself. I think you more than deserve the chance to fine-tune it. Good night. Unschool 06:54, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you, my first remarks were out of line. Endomion 06:55, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, it's okay—as it turns out, my lawyer wouldn't pick up his cell phone anyway. :) Unschool 06:57, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not enough about breasts and stuff

I'm surprised at how bad this article is. I just felt I need to complain before attempting to fix it. I'll probably leave some things out, so it should be reviewed by another editor. -Barry- 03:55, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

contrast/opinion

If I was a female, I could be much more masculine than an action-movie lead actor.

Females have narrow hips?

The article formerly said that "narrow hips in relation to shoulders" is a feminine body trait, apparently indicating that women have relatively narrower hips and wider shoulders than men, which is obviously completely backwards. I changed that. 71.68.75.61 15:48, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

POV EDIT REVERTING

Please don't remove my writings just because you have a personal problem with them. Perhaps you could explain to me why my addition to the top of the page was removed, and why you disagree with it.

Hi. Your additions are unverifiable because you have not provided sources. Please provide sources when you add material to an article. Otherwise, your additions may be construed as vandalism or deleted for violation of the neutral point of view policy. Srose (talk) 17:45, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added a source to the page for my addition. I'd like you to note that it is the ONLY source on the page, and by your 'logic' I could delete anything I want on the entire feminity page because none of it is sourced. Please keep your point of view to yourself, thank you.
