I kind of disagree here. I could see male image shot with with soft focus for a few reasons in general - romanticized image (like you know.. knight in shiny armour or bridal stuff or something like that) or to soften perception in general (ok, may be a bit less pronounced softness) when shooting someone like grandfather and you trying to add this nice warmth-ish glow to image... But other than this, agreed, normally males arent good subjects for SF lenses.. We like to be rough and strong..
But it works as experiment, and not a bad one IMHO, overwise if we take away freedom to display experimental images - quite many photos in displayed threads would be subject to quite harsh critique
