the "metrosexual" nonsense was about making fun of men for dressing up or making sure their clothes were clean. That by wanting to wear what they want to wear and putting any effort at all into hair and hygiene must mean they were gay, and thus less than a "real man".
I am acutely aware of how fashion works, and how various fashion choices are indicators of a person's values and by extension their politics. But do not make the mistake of assuming that I equate "well dressed" with "respectable" or "good person".
