The “Metro-Male” is known to carry a man-bag, use hand lotion, get facials, hair tints and also get his nails done.
The same metro male unknowingly ingests vast amounts of chemicals, such as estrogen (female growth hormone) in his food intake (extensively used in the production of chicken and farmed fish).
Many of these chemicals have been identified as “endocrine disrupters” – or gender-benders – because they interfere with natural hormones. These include phthalates, used in food wrapping, cosmetics and baby powders among other applications; flame retardants in furniture and electrical goods; PCBs, a now banned group of substances which are still widespread in food and the environment; and many pesticides used in grain production.
Research has shown that baby boys born to women exposed to widespread chemicals in pregnancy are born with smaller penises and feminised genitals.
The days of men-of-steel wearing a Wallaby jersey, so eloquently lamented by many Roarers, are largely gone. They have been replaced by an effeminised metro male (through no fault of his own), who is focused on his own image and only concerned with maximising his own capital.
There may come a time when when candidates for Wallaby selection are blood tested to determine whether they are really “man” enough to do the job.
