New York, April 13—The “He-men” are slipping out of the picture and men are adopting feminized ways just as rapidly as women are becoming masculine in their outlook on life, Dr. Charles Gray Shaw of New York University said in a discussion of the social problems evolved because of the emancipation of women.
“It is the man in his new effeminacy who is inclined to be domestic,” Dr. Shaw said. “Modern men marry for the sake of a home with its dog and radio set, while women approach the wedded state with the idea of getting a companion or a lover.”
When men began to wear soft hats, silk socks, pearl colored spats, lace pajamas and embroidered bathrobes, the process of feminization gained a good start, Dr. Shaw said. Even the safety razor contributed.
