A new species has been discovered in Japan: the girly man ("ojo-man" in Japanese). The country is panicked. Guys who used to covet Armani suits, foreign cars, and pretty girls now want to be well-dressed housewives. Books, like The Men Who Wear Bras and the Women Who Don't, are being published to help explain this new iteration of men. But we have a better idea: Look west. The men who live in Brooklyn have already thoroughly explored their softer sides. One may live in Tokyo, the other in Kings County, but these feminized guys are strikingly similar. The tale of the tape is below.
