Chinese state media Xinhua published an editorial slamming the portrayal of men in Chinese media, claiming the popularity of the "sickly aesthetics" in effeminate celebrities was having an adverse impact on teenagers.
Xinhua said that "sissy pants" or "little fresh meats" — who they describe as effeminate young men who use makeup, are slender and wear androgynous clothing — were hurting China's national image.
Thats the most frustrating ever to explain to people. Those men can't seem to divorce masculinity as a concept from their performance behavior and ego. Yet apparently men are sooo good at 'compartmentalizing'.
That masculinity is hurting you too, dear, its not an attack at you but on your behalf by behaviors you were forcefully taught to enact.
