I always found this Hadith very interesting, I cannot give the particular reference.
But it's considered a minor sign before the Hour and it goes like this:

''Women will outnumber men, eventually 50:1'' and it's mentioned in Bukhari, Muslim & Ahmad.

I never knew how to take it, because a far majority of the signs have happened or are happening already.
But this one stands out of the picture when taken literally.
Till I came across this comment on a youtube page.

You are getting two extremes of personality disorders in today's young men, one, some men are behaving less gentleman like, violently towards women and disregarding them unrespectfully, while another extreme of attitude is of a feminine men that want to satisfy their sexuality with other men and are weaklings, physically and spiritually speaking. Europe and the West now are not being destroyed by bombs like those that fell on Dresden in 1945, but rather by greed and misogynistic cretinism.

Which is very interesting.
Any thoughts on this particular Hadith?

I remember having read on this very forum that some scholars explained that hadith as meaning that there will be lack of "real men": most of them will behave as women..

Allahu a'lam; I'm too interested in the subject..

Yep, it was in one of the old talks by Shaykh Hamza where he was talking about the signs of Qiyamah. He mentioned that it had been explained in such a way by classical scholars (i.e. before the present era and before modern man becoming so feminine in nature) but he didn't mention any names. If that is truely the interpretation of the hadith, it seems we are living in that time right now

And Allah knows best

Ya, I was under the impression it may have been Shaykh Hamza Yusuf to say that; I think it must have been you mentioning it on SF..
