Many European sculptures from the Renaissance of classical Greek figures had larger, square jaws, more prominent brows, larger noses, and bushier eyebrows, which are far from androgynous features. Though many of the paintings of male figures are more feminine, to be sure. I don't think this research is really anything new. In fact, it extends to body types as well---with less-than-buff dudes being perceived as more suitable long term mates and less likely to stray. It seems that many of the traits that will get a guy laid for most of your his life puts him at a slight disadvantage when he decides to settle down.
