As in, we're often so preoccupied with females and what constitutes femininity that we neglect considering men and masculinity. As a result, the stereotypes will always continue to prevail because we'll maintain the "standard masculine male" by which others are compared, thus holding in THEIR stereotypes. Basic structuralism - defining but what one is not.
In other news, Lily Allen's new song delightfully deals with this topic. Especially like the Robin Thicke line.
