Boys in China traditionally are expected to be strong leaders, get good grades and excel at sports. But the gender balance in China is changing.

    Maybe put two and two together and wonder why "preventing feminization" somehow only translates to helping ex-atheletes to find gym teacher positions, more physical health stuff, and something involving guidance counsellors and urbanization.

      Would you be this gullible about it if this was some mayo boomer saying that?

        I don't care about whatever scenario you cook up in your head. I care about this actual scenario where bourgeois media divides the left over woke fake news. Actual leftists don't just take bourgeois media at face value.

        I'm aware what North America is like so I wouldn't be so dependant on bourgeois media to dictate my response to male chauvinism here. With China, unless it's from a trustworthy source it's not worth making a political line about. And it's only going to increase because naive nu-leftists fall for it every time.

          You can read what they are saying lol.

          In China there is a lot of fuss about "little fresh meats", it's a kind of trendy phrase for hot young dudes and the most popular male teen stars are kinda like kpop boys, often very feminine presenting etc. China is a very patriarchal society, so the predictable boomer response happened. It is a step in the wrong dimension, no need to break your brain trying to figure out how it is somehow completely cool because it isn't.
