Why do you come to this conclusion?

I would imagine the masculinity of this would be determined by the act for which it was initiated, and the form for which it follows, would you not agree?

I suppose if you were do keep one hand stationary and clap the fingers of the hand in motion onto the palm it might look effeminate as this is style most commonly adopted by females (not me, Im an all out tom boy) but I think that any other style is more manly and probably why females seems to do it more daintily. Personally I wouldn't clap like that unless in some weird (for me at least) posh occasion but Im all about the "giving it lald" approach. If I clap for someone I mean it! Yeah! Haha.

Why would it not be masculine? Generally that is the accepted way of showing appreciation at a performance of some kind. If someone didn't clap, I would consider it rude.

There is noting wrong with men clapping their hand, in church both men and women and even the children clap their hands to the beautiful music. Have you ever been to a concert?

I can see clapping being a little feminine depending on the type of guy clapping.

Depends on how a man does it. If it's strictly palm to palm with fingers back would be a bit feminine, but a cupped-hand sideways clap wouldn't be, imho.

No, but it is true that guys overly concerned with what's masculine and what's feminine tend to be in the closet.

never heard that...................who told you this?
Ignore this rule. What happens when a family member graduates from school, won't you clap and cheer for them?

I don't do it until the end of the show. Yes, it can be feminine if you do it a certain way.
