It’s all in the etymology

metrosexual
Hetero-
Homo-
Metro-

You guessed it. They are all prefixes to the word “sexual”. One of them is on my last nerve though. Ding, ding, ding. You guessed it. The metrosexual. I am over it. I am tired of seeing rail-thin boys prancing around downtown in their skinny, girl jeans and t-shirts that are so tight you can see the swollen follicles of their freshly shaven chest. There is a fine line between femininity and metrosexual and the trend in Savannah is making that line ever-so-thin. What happened to men who were men? Apparently the rest of the nation is feeling the same sentiment as Benicio del Toro graced the cover of this month’s Esquire. Even George Clooney was spotted with a salt-n-pepper, well trimmed beard. What’s wrong with being well groomed and well dressed in a manly tradition?

Have you seen the Metrosexual episode of South Park, where the town’s wives become so weary of their husbands’ (and childrens’) preoccupation with Queer Eye for the Straight Guy they start an anti-metro movement and the husbands in turn stage a Metrosexual Pride Parade?

Well, the resolution of that episode is that the Queer Eye guys are not only NOT gay…they’re CRAB PEOPLE! Maybe we should be less concerned with the disturbingly tight denim movement and more concerned over the fact that inside the pants is just a hard, brainless crustacean waiting to bust out and take over the world.
