Windsuring is Effete?

beach windsuring hand in water Doesn't effete mean worn out? I've never heard this definition and windsurfing doesn't seem feminine, anyway.

"What's so ludicrous about windsurfing?" asks Real [a Slug Man expert]. "It's effete -- which is another way of saying it's feminine." Yet guys are forced to contend with such inane stereotypes. (Have you ever tried windsurfing? It's about as easy as riding a shark.)

Thanks for the trackback.

You are correct! Effete's first definition means depleted of vitality. The third definition means effeminate.
