That is absolutely awesome. Japan has had issues with gender roles for a long time, and it actually tends to be easier(not necessarily by much) for females to escape them, based on what I've heard and read, due to the majority of the pressure resting on male shoulders. I'm really, really glad that these men are taking a step against these gender roles in order to establish that their identities are theirs rather than signs of weakness. Like I said, awesome.
I think it's easier in general for women to take on more masculine roles because masculinity is still prized - it's a large harder for feminine individuals (men or women) to be respected.
