(My opinion) why men who tend to show a more feminine side might get more praise is because women might consider that they understand they’re gender as a woman struggles. Every persons mind works differently but for most likely cause why feminine men receive appraisal is because judged by percentages women tend to get along with people of the same sex rather then the opposite so for a man who acts feminine to approach them they might have the mind set they are easier to get along with then most men and befriend them. For men I cannot say they might act the same as women as some men confuse femininity for attraction and mistake them for being attracted to the same gender or even both. Although men might act that way I can also say some men enjoy hanging out with more feminine men as they might feel more comfortable such as women are known to be more sensible and gentle and for a man with a feminine side to know the struggles of a mans life and take some feminine traits they might feel very comfortable to be around.
