        but I’ve got to agree with the wider goal of preventing school children from becoming “weak, self-effacing, and timid"

        dude it's the exact same shit far right wing wackos do here in america, they complain about people being "feminized". it's got nothing to do with being weak or timid

        The response came after a delegate of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a top political advisory body, had suggested that Chinese schoolboys are “weak, self-effacing, and timid,” and may be unduly influenced by so-called little fresh meats — handsome, well-groomed, delicate-featured celebrities in the vein of K-pop stars. The proposal also described the feminization of Chinese boys as “a threat to the development and survival of our nation.”

        I had hoped this would be a mistranslation or something (I didn't know china was anti-lgbt), didn't expect people to support it....

        Yes, weak, self effacing and timid, 3 qualities commonly associated with women, which is why you need more male gym teachers.

        Dude if you wanna make the point that this wasn't the government and just some random official and not representative, at least don't go around instantly defending the sexist shit it says because it's China.

            They’re only associated with women if you associate them with women.

            Which is literally what this does, it's not even subtle about it. Like, what do you think "self effacing, weak and timid" means in this context? It's very blatant. This is just assholes getting mad at "effeminate" boys. This is what this is about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Fresh_Meat
