Guys: do you feel effeminate for liking Ayu?

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I really do!! The other day I realized as I was watching the JEWEL PV and I thought: wow, mostly girls would listen to this, not really guys.... I mean like really, I'm not like ashamed of it or anything but I would never show Ayu to some of my friends. They'd be like WTF? It doesn't help out the fact that the great majority of my friends are Indie rockers and don't really like mainstream music, lol.

Maybe I'm being sexist or close minded though, cause really what is feminine or masculine? What society dictates right? But I still can't help feeling sometimes that bubble gum pop and soft sweet ballads are for girls. But of course there is also the complete opposite opinion. I mean, the main audience of singers like Ayu are women but...

So dudes, do you ever feel girly for liking Ayu or any other 'aimed at females' type of singer? I'd like to feel more at ease. I'm retarded.
