WELL: I appreciate Joshua Claybourn's dislike for the buzzword 'metrosexual,' but I can assure him that those of us who enjoy elaborate cooking, interior decoration, the arts of all stripes, and fashion (I not only led a successful buying-work-clothes strike on Somerset for Becky, who was getting ready for her job at the LCV, I was actually complimented on my assistance/choices by people who only saw what she ended up with) for both men and women find metrosexual to be a useful term to denote that, yes, we are culturally well-versed, but yes (don't ask) we are also very, very straight.
Of course, the world would be a better place if I didn't have to defend my masculinity just because I enjoy all the stuff listed above, but what can you do?

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
