Safer cars are considered unmasculine? News to me. I always thought they were a sign of responsibility. They just don't seem to fit in with fancy sweaters and facials. I also wonder if men never bought these things before because they didn't want to or because they weren't readily available. “… men are considered no less masculine if they pay good money for a nice sweater, a facial or a safer car.”

The fundamental differences are still there and not going any where soon. So keep Rod Serling behind the curtain for the the time being. :-) Elaine,

In another two generations, we'll all be androgynous! :) (Can't you just hear the doo-doo of the Twilight Zone here?) I imagine that this interesting social phenomenon will have profound effects on marketing for years to come. Andrea, have women become more like men and men more like women?

Cars and tech gadgets come to mind quickly. :-) One difference between men and women that will be hard to overcome: some women can stay at malls and stores for hours, while many men want to leave pretty quickly. I suffer the affliction that after one hour at a mall (or any store or stores) I have this almost irresistible urge to leave.
