A man who is “babygirl” comes across as sweet, charming, a bit bashful and seemingly in touch with their feminine side, ready to talk about their feelings or carry a purse to brunch at any point.

It’s exactly what women want and men want to become — the antithesis of toxic macho masculinity.

“Traditionally, highlighting feminine qualities in men has been a putdown, but this doesn’t seem to be the case with ‘babygirl,’ which almost has a celebratory quality,” Kaamna Bhojwani, a Columbia University-educated sexuality expert, told The Post.

For one, Gen Z is much more fluid when it comes to gender and sexuality than older generations, encouraging rather than condemning blurring the lines around the previously restrictive boxes separating masculine and feminine.

Ahem. Twenty years ago, wasn't this the "metrosexual" fad? Actually, this is something that normally would be more associated with teenage girls. The soft, feminine look has been traditionally popular with those inexperienced in dating and social activities. If this is now extending as far into adulthood as the Post claims, it suggests that the younger generations are demonstrating a certain level of arrested social development -- perhaps out of an extended period of inexperience.
