Everything you need to know is in the meta-text.

No word-update today, because I am in the middle of a thing but have to go to bed, so it can all come together to be tomorrow's total and make it look as though I had a very diligent Saturday!

I'm one of those who don't care for 'feminized' Harry Potter men. Not because I have an issue with effeminate men, but because I prefer my characters to be reflective of the canon characters and not wildly ooc. No matter how you cut it, I just don't see Draco as effeminate in canon. He's arrogant and rather fussy, which would probably translate more into the metrosexual realm in the muggle world, but maybe not. He has never struck me as a diva or queen in canon and that's my issue with the whole thing. Obviously he was driven to tears in the bathroom scene, but that never struck me as at all feminized. Crying is not feminized to my way of thinking.

Could not agree with you more on the bathroom scene. Must go off and potter (no pun intended) on the idea of Draco as metrosexual. Offhand I would have said he was just more Victorian, but I am tending more to your view on thinking …
