Male Sexiness in this Modern Age: What's a "Real Man" These Days, Anyway?

In the past few years, Hollywood has recast the male Adonis as slim, bookish, and emotionally available. Some men aren’t happy about it. Where does that leave you? On April 13, 2021, Mitchell S. Jackson of Esquire writes: "You might’ve noticed that Hollywood has been remaking, or at least diversifying, the attributes of male sex symbols and, you could argue, manhood itself right alongside them.

With the decision in late November to veto a Christmas theatrical release and exclusively release the anticipated blockbuster 'Wonder Woman 1984' online with HBO Max, there certainly were concerns of harsh financial fallout for the film and any chance at production budget recoup. Now as Pandemic restrictions tighten and Woes at the Capitol intensify, this film and many others are experiencing huge financial blows. ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Continues To Fall Grossing Only $3M in Third Weekend Amid Pandemic & U.S. Capitol Woes Source: ( Deadline.com ) January 10, 2021 Anthony D'Alessandro writes: Even if there wasn’t a pandemic, odds are this would still be a hard weekend at the domestic box office, what with all the distraction that came out of our nation’s Capitol this past week.
