We're Due For A New Definition Of Masculinity Discussion

1. Natalie Atkinson argues that show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," popularized the term "metrosexual," which became a marketing gimmick to sell prestigious moisturizer in grey packaging. Define the term "metrosexual." What do you think Atkinson means by this?

2. Atkinson cites Ben Barry [a professor at Ryerson University] who claims "the change in masculinity that is happening right now, whether on the Queer Eye redux [redux means 'brought back' or 'revived'] or the men's wear industry, is more style than substance." Atkinson also argues that episodes of the show "Queer Eye," are an excuse to lightly approach prejudice about gender norms and identity, and gingerly confront toxic masculinity in the U.S mainstream through the pretext of a lifestyle makeover. In your opinion, what is Barry suggesting? Think of a couple of examples to support this position and a couple of examples to refute this position.

3. Can you think of a comparable celebrity to Cecil Beaton in our current context?
