There are rules about what makes a man a man too.
I'm just sad that these rules involve gigantic man-breasts.
Well, and also sad that a whole article about the trend never stops to say, "Oh, by the way, you people who aren't insanely obsessed with the inadequacy of their bodies? Feel free to skip this part."
I mean, even articles about changing one's fat body have the excuse of "obesity is a risk-factor for a zillion illnesses," but AFAIK being slim is a risk-factor only for being able to squeeze into small spaces.

Honey, you realize you were reading the Fashion and Style section of the New York Times?
It's an epic struggle, but somebody's got to do it.
