There was a lot of pressure put on men to shave their beards to look more like women. Let’s face it, women are not naturally known to have facial hair, if they do find a hair or two growing on their faces, they  go to beauty parlours. Men are doing the same! 

At the end of the last century, wasn't there an emphasis for men to be clean shaven and look like boys?
What influence did this have on the mindset of men?

I think you are off the mark with external appearances. The issue is more of an internal/psychological one. I know of plenty of bearded blokes who are extremely effete. A lot of them are what you used to call 'gentle giants'. 
I think the wussification of men is closely related to higher class anglos trying to tame/control their own working classes but making violence unacceptable, I think this used to be the last line of defence working class men could use against perceived higher class oppression. Now all these dumb f**ks can do is jump on some right-wing/neo-nazi bandwagon against immigrants because they've lost all their balls to confront their ruling classes. You see the same in  Panjab, where the ahm bundha acts like a powerless eunuch against the establishment (like Badal). 

Ahm apna bundha acts the same all over the world. Self imposed divide and ruin persists  even while in diaspora.

None of them require nose muscles. You are most likely pronouncing it wrong or trying too hard to pronounce it thereby using nose muscles in the process.
