Quiz 4 Question 2

How to Know if You're Metrosexual: Men's Style, Socks, and Hair Care

This article is a how-to article, dealing with men that are questioning whether they are metrosexual or not. It is extremely stereotypical because all of its main points are characteristics that one typically tends to think of when they hear the word 'metrosexual' but may not necessarily be true. It defines the term, 'metrosexual' as a "man who spends a certain amount of time and money on his lifestyle, specifically his appearance." This is a definition that is more of an opinion than a factual definition, so therefore it is somewhat wrong to say. The main questions the article states consist of ones such as, "Do gay men hit on you?, Do you carry a purse?, Do you wear tighty whities?, and Do you borrow products from the women in your life?" These questions, followed by responses explaining them are not politically correct because they are completely based on stereotypes and not actual facts.
