WHEELER is at least partially right, that the article should not overfocus on homosexuality and alternative sexuality, quasi/pseudo/para/whatever... but it doesn't. It actually focuses too much on the classical definition, which while insightful and interesting, simply does not deserve this over-riding level of focus. Does the "Classical Western definition of Malakos" deserve an article? Maybe (Wiki is not paper, and I support vanity articles as well) but this isn't (and/or shouldnt be) it. Lets stop wasting all this time and energy and make this article a good one on what the word "effeminacy" means today, and how it is used. Sam [Spade] 23:12, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

No Sam. What a modern definition is about rewriting the definition of two thousand years. I Cor 6.9 is still in use for the Christian Churches. In this "*modern*" definition will it include the meaning that the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches have ALWAYS applied to I Cor 6.9. NO it will not. If you want to make a modern definition of the term be my guest. I have no complaints. Do what ever you want. But that modern definition will have nothing to do with the classical sense of the word. Hyacinth and Jwrosenzweig want to redefine the classical term to their modern proclivities. I tell you Sam the Catholic Church will not accept that. These people hate Christianity and so these people are going to rewrite the term according to themselves?????? What about the Christians that use this website?? Screw them. uh?

Do you want me to move the classical definition into the body of this article? Do you want all the meanings combined in one article? What is wrong with an Effeminacy disambiguation page? One for the classical Christian sense and one for you liberals? You can't take Black and white and mix them together. I agree with Korpios whose original thing was to make an disambiguation page.WHEELER 14:22, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

For all the Greek words that mean effeminacy and it is not all that simple. I am trying to get "Greek" language experts to help here. Please see: Image:Effeminacy.jpg. WHEELER 15:23, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

When one types in the word "*Activism*" One gets all the following: Animal rights activism
Anticonsumerist activism
Anti-corporate activism
Anti-racist activism
Civil and social disobedience
Civil disobedience
Culture jamming
Demonstrations
Economic activism
Environmental activism
Fair trade
Guerrilla communication
Hacktivism
Libertarian socialism
Nationalist activism
Nonviolence
Sniggling
Student activism
Tactical Frivolity
Voluntary simplicity
Youth activism

Look at all these articles on Activism. Let's follow the same rules here. Make all these into one article and I will agree to make every defintion of effeminacy into one article. We are being a little hypocritical in trying to make effeminacy into one article.WHEELER 15:38, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• The word "Malakos" is still used in Modern Greek to mean "soft". It has no sexual conotations. Now if the there is a vowel changed like to "Malakia" which is also used in modern Greek, it means masturbator. It is akin to onanism.WHEELER 14:03, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Why is "niang pao" controversy on "Gay men" section, if the issue is not related to homosexual males (a least not necessarily)? Even the description in the section does not mention homosexuality, it is well dislocated. Not to mention that most of these "niang pao" are heterosexuals. ~2025-35934-87 (talk) 23:45, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
