Hens Gone Wild
The rituals of bucks' nights are being neutered. Male friends are just as likely to come back from bucks' days rosy-cheeked and suspiciously moisturised after a morning at the day spa and an afternoon of golf.
These are men who grew up in the politically correct 1990s, where closest friends were likely to be a mix of men and women, where gender roles seemed fluid. They were part of a generation that delayed marriage, had many different partners, and may have many more, with divorce rates being what they are. The concept of "one last night of freedom" no longer resonates.
It must be strange, then, in your early 30s, or later, to get engaged and suddenly be confronted with this tradition - a night out with only men, strip clubs, drinking, a bit of humiliation, a bit of titillation. Just as the old bucks traditions said something of the times, so do these new traditions. The post-feminist man is stress-testing rituals of old and opting for a more sedate occasion. Instead we are seeing male bonding odysseys and new-style bucks' dos, where it is more about men spending time with other men than men spending time ogling women.
While the bucks have gone mild, the hens have gone wild! The post-feminist woman is reinventing the hens' night as a high-octane bender, complete with pub crawls and male strippers. When the time comes, celebrate your last night of freedom in style. Whether you’re planning a wild hen’s night or a mild stag night, HireLimos has the right limo for you.
