Actually while it does look rather feminine, it is still quite unisex, just more on the female side, there are men with orange hair and men with ponytails, look at Jeb
(Granted he does have a mustache and a beard, but you get the point)
I still see Alex as a unisex skin even more-so than Steve. Two reasons, my arms are no where near the size of my legs--and I'm a fairly big guy--and I have had a ponytail too. While yes, it looks more effeminate, it works really well with many skins. While yes, it is all a bit weird for it to be random, I do think it should be an option, but some of the responses seem so panicked and almost kinda disgusted. Something as simple as a skin change to fix it shouldn't be so dramatic.
To change your skin on cracked version: BUY THE GAME; or ask Google.
Novaskins has a good selection, but you could also find other skins sites via Google as well. Im also pretty sure they have the default Steve and Alex.
I just think it looks better personally. Especially with the slime skin I'm rocking now.
I hate the Alex skin, not because I hate girls or something alike, but because Steve was very iconic. Second to the Creeper, I think it's safe to say that Steve is the most iconic Minecraft character.

I use the "Alex" model. I like the thin arms, and it works well with my skin. Now if only they would allow higher res skins. Just 2x larger would be fantastic.

I like the Alex skin o.o. Not because the skin looks more feminine and I'm a girl too, and not because I don't like Steve (I like him o_o). I just think Alex is neat. I think some people just view Alex as "threatening" Steve's state of iconic character, but yeah, anyways when I think of Minecraft I barely think about Steve, I think creepers and endermen. And blocks.
Skins are easy to customize and change, so there's always that option of putting Steve back in Alex's place. An option to toggle between in the menus would be great, and while we're at it, an option to select your skin much like the resource pack selection menus.
Either ways I started out with Steve, made my own within a short while (a week or two) because I like to customize things. A while back I had to play offline and found out I had Alex defaulted because I never took care in replacing it in my files *shrugs* XD.

While your being Alex can you download some skins?
Steve is still in 1.8, just the same ol' Steve,
Alex is just another character model that has smaller arms.
Depending on the account ID, it will randomly select either Alex or Steve as a base character, and I got Alex.
This new Alex model really gave me an idea for my character since
the arms on it are smaller than his legs. Just look at my avatar, it makes sense.
Mewtwo is the best pokemon!
Omg he also has a green shirt like alex
Ive been thinking the same thing
It was a beard notch said
