Widening the bandwidth of being male

I posted this quote from cbb on the ginuwine thread:
Andrew said (about dragging up) that as a “heterosexual male from the north” he wanted to “break that gender barrier between a heterosexual male drinking beer down the pub called Dan and Dave, and bring in this heterosexual male who’s comfortable with himself…”

So, I thought it would be fun to create a thread for us all to post our favourite examples of this.

I could fill this thread with photos of David Bowie.

Choosing this one because it upset so many activists of a particular stripe!

Much of the late 70s/early 80s?

I don't understand why people (people out there on the net in the media) are acting as if a man in makeup / "feminine" attire is anything new... Are memories really so short? It's weird.

Great additions!
I'm also going to throw in Robert Webb because his book on this was excellent!

Grayson Perry was on radio 3's Private Passions at the weekend - fascinating interview, he comes across as such a great bloke, and he picked some of my favourite pieces of music.

He is. Such a shame he's not in there (but I think he's too sensible!)

John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough. Very accomplished soldier and ancestor of Winston.

Noel Fielding does a good job of widening the male bandwidth.

Pretty much every guy I went out with during the 80's. No photos I'm afraid.

There is nothing new about any of this, what's new is the need to go back to the attitudes about women from the 17th century

The beautiful David Sylvian. 1980-something..
