Japanese grass eaters

Just came across this article:

http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2010/s2864558.htm

..on an emerging generation of young Japanese men called "grass eaters". I hadn't heard of this before and would be interested in any insights. Is there a Chinese term for them? Does it happen in China also?

Also, does Chinese have an equivalent expression/concept to the English "get in touch with your feminine side"?
