Something analogous happens with the trend of inserting the word man before what we consider “girl” words: manbun, manbag, guyliner.* These words are catchy, but in the end they accentuate the idea that objects often thought to be frivolous, like makeup and handbags, are for women, and if men are expected to participate (without being shoved into a locker, that is), they must be rebranded in a macho way.
