i define what is mascaline to me, and have found it, ireelivant

That's very true and I was thinking the same before I posted, nothing is really truly masculine nor precisely feminine but the thread question was pretty straight forward even though masculinity and femininity can be bent in many ways. I don't label the tracks I posted as feminine but I know how they are viewed upon by the norm and those who see it in masculine/feminine way. But instead of going in to personal details and what the definition of this could be I just thought I'll post my "non-masculine" choices.
But you're absolutely correct, there is no true male or female pattern it's just stereotypic labels by society.

But as the question is pretty straight forward, I'll just give my answer even if I know there is more to it...

[quote="showman616"]The two great feminist anthems of the dancefloor are both great songs-"respect' by aretha frnaklin, and "I will survive" by gloria gaynor that command the admiration of anyone regardless of gender.

Actually - some female POV songs I hate, and some I love.
The ones I hate are one's that I precieve the girl to be dissing me- so I hate em (a lot of alanis morrisette, and paula cole is in that category).
The ones I love are the one's that seem to be dissing my male competion (like the two above).

I have no idea how to define non masculine music. A good number of the songs listed here I enjoy. I guess the closest thing I can imagine to non masculine is "hard knock life" from Annie which I do enjoy.

Wait, now I feel the urge to point out I don't actually like musicals so I guess I do have an idea of how to define non masculine music.

I've been listening to these two over and over while rocking back and forth and lip-synching. All-nighters are oddly fun.

This is a song I knew about, but only listened to for the first time recently. Just like Total Eclipse of the Heart, I instantly loved it.

the concept means nothing top me

Well, most of the works of Stephen Sondheim, I guess. In fact, I'm going to see a production of "A Little Night Music" right this moment!

Take a walk on the wild side is also a nice song.

I think my entire music library is non masculine.

I like a lot of non masculine songs. I listen to a lot of pop stuff like ABBA & Celine Dion. I also like the song It's Raining Men & I'm NOT gay

Whaddya mean?

There are no non-masculine songs. Songs don't have genders.

Yeah, so there's my "Aspie" response, even though I know what you really mean. My answer remains the same though.

There's no such thing as a "non-masculine" song.

Only insecure men would think there is.

REAL men:

Cry
Do dishes
Hold their wive's/girfriend's purses
Change diapers
Clean the bathroom
Cook dinner (and not always with fire, though that IS a lot more fun!)
Do laundry
Bake
Sew

AND

Kill spiders
Trap rodents
Chase off mean dogs
Kill dinner
Gut dinner
etc...

And if you're a man, and would argue the top list with me, then I have a DARE FOR YOU:

Resurrect any trapper mountain man from the late eighteen hundreds out of the Rocky Mountains, and tell him to his face, "You aren't a real man!" and see how long it takes him to flatten your ---!


So there! That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it! (and no, that's not a song for this question.)
