The Great Masculine Renunciation underscored great modern ideals like equality, social mobility, and the worthiness of work.

The “great male renunciation” and the Van Buren incident not only deepened the gender dividing line between His and Hers wardrobes, it also intensified the public distaste for male effeminacy.
