By STEFANIE ALAIMO | Nov. 11, 2002My original idea for this column was to discuss the degeneration of the feminist movement as exemplified in pop culture by eye-candy pop princesses and their fashionably misogynist counterparts, but I couldn't steer away from the fact that perhaps this degeneration is due to the currently sorry state of masculinity.A professor last year told the class that in the past decade or two, it seems the only thing men have to define their masculinity is violence.
