This topic doesn’t really belong at this site, but some readers have wanted me to write on this issue, to be fair if not anything else.  I agree that it is fair to also address men at some length.  I mulled including the following contents in a zipped file for anyone interested, but decided that it is best to post it online.  Before I begin, I wish to say that just as I have nothing against masculinized women, I have nothing against effeminate/feminized men.

A few articles back, this blog was graced by 8D
writing, in her special style, as usual, grouchily,
“Other people are doing a better job,” sayeth she,

Female pornstars tend to be masculinized women, and my contention is that this is because feminine women are less likely to do porn and among those who are willing, they are less likely to engage in the more disinhibited sexual acts.  This explains why a number of masculinized female pornstars are popular among heterosexual male customers of porn.  However, commentator “Whipped honey” insists that the explanation is that the customers are interested in the masculinization of the women.  My response is that breasts implants are common among pornstars and reflect the fact that the customers want to see feminine women but the pornographers are not very successful in obtaining them and hence resort to fake femininity.  Whipped honey’s rebuttal is:

The previous entry on the Marquardt Phi (golden ratio) mask application pointed out that Marquardt’s methodology doesn’t adjust for size before comparing shape.  We now consider how to adjust for size as well as other standardization procedures prior to comparing shape.

The following pictures are taken from a Dutch site.  Note the masculinization of the women; make-up serves to make them look a little more feminine.  The Dutch site has 300-plus comments.  Many commentators, most if not all women, point out the masculinization of these women and some wonder how these women got to be models.  When I was a kid, I was stumped myself.  Regular readers of this site should know the answer very well.

Danielle trashed Melisande's looks in a previous article, and I responded by posting some pictures of her in clothes to show that she looks a lot better than the typical high-fashion model.  I requested additional pictures from Melisande and here is what she sent to me.
