genderqueer is part of it, as are a number of subcultures, like goth/punk or hippies. The stereotypical gay man leans towards feminine traits and the stereotypical gay woman leans towards male traits. We have a growing number of not only women in pants, but men in skirts. (Although sometimes they call them kilts.) Men are doing more childcare, and are more interested in being 'sensitive', at the same time that women's career opportunities and confidence are increasing. It's kind of hard to see, because its slow, and a lot of it is 'underground', but its definitely there.
