An interesting and surprisingly well-researched article from Jezebel coming up with ideas about Japanese women's apparent interest in Samurai stories and games. They talk to Sengoku Basara's Kobayashi-san, and drop a healthy dose of Japan-o-centric sociological stats. 

"Girly men have no interest in fast cars, career success, designer labels and trophy women. Instead, they hold down humble jobs, cultivate women as friends rather than conquests and spend their free time shopping at small boutiques and pursuing in Japan what is regarded as a profoundly feminine pastime: eating cakes."

Interesting stuff, no matter which side you come down on. Check it out here.

What do you think?  As a grass-eating girly-man myself, I'd be offended if I wasn't too busy eating a fancy cake.
