President’s daughter attacks effeminate men

Dariga Nazarbayeva (pictured), the outspoken daughter of the Kazakh President, has launched a withering attack on men, a species she believes are becoming "increasingly effeminate".

"Men are now paying more attention to themselves and fashion,” says Nazarbayeva, 45, a highly successful businesswomen and former MP who has been tipped to replace her father. "They have started going to beauty parlours and hair salons a lot more often. They have started doing manicure. Looking at the appearance of contemporary young men, one may notice how much their notions of masculinity have changed, how this masculinity is sometimes being replaced by femininity."

She added: "One cannot help but notice that the world of men has become increasingly effeminate... I don't know if we can see this as our gender's victory."
