What is the Shi'ite ruling of "eyebrow removing (like women)" for men?

There is a narration from the apostle of Allah (pbuh) that said:

Every woman who makes herself like men or every man who makes himself like women, is not from us. (Mizan-Al-Hekmah, Vol5, Pg18)

or for instance there is another narration from Imam Baqer (a.s.):

لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَتَشَبَّهَ بِالرِّجَالِ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لَعَنَ الْمُتَشَبِّهِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ بِالنِّسَاءِ وَ لَعَنَ الْمُتَشَبِّهَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ بِالرِّجَالِ

… because the Prophet dawned (La'n) the men who make themselves like women and also women who make themselves similar to men. (Bahar-Al-Anwaar, Vol 103, Pg 208).

Unfortunately, nowadays as you can see in many Islamic societies, there are many men(particularly young boys) who remove(cut) their eyebrows like ladies. As a result, commonly, their faces somewhat changes likes girls. So, I was wondering what its ruling is according to Shi'ite scholars?

Actually is it Haram or Makruh? Or even permissible?
