China Has Banned “Effeminate” Men | Gen China

[@Based_Stuhlinger]

I find it odd that China considers long hair feminine when culturally the Chinese kept their hair long for centuries before western influence. Edit: Yes I know long hair is feminine, but I'm referring to a time when it was considered typical for a man unlike now.

No matter where you go in the world, it seems like there's always this paradox; Tradition is strong enough to stand the test of time by itself but is fragile enough to constantly be threatened unless propped.

[@ENB90]

Or traditions have stood the test of time because people stood guard over them and took decisions with the interest in protecting those traditions(however they deemed best). Not being Chinese so I don’t know the culture but apparently they dislike effeminate men being a societal model they want men to follow. They see it as something they want to contain before it becomes engrained in their culture like how they see it in Japanese and Korean culture.

[@loki2240]

Tradition isn't beneficial in of itself. Historically, slavery, genocide, domestic violence, child brides, etc. have all been part of the tradition of many societies. Do you think that they serve the public good just because they existed for thousands of years of recorded history (and likely long before recorded history)? Or does it make sense to evaluate things on their own merits? How are other people, or society in general, harmed by some men being "effeminate?"

[@intreoo]

An additional factor about these "effeminate" men is that a lot of them, specifically the singers you see on TV, are directly influenced by Korean/Japanese pop culture. Chinese audiences watch these men because they are familiar in the sense that they are Chinese whilst emulating Korean/Japanese pop culture; an example is the show "Idol Producer". Banning them will mean that Chinese audiences will probably turn away from Chinese media and to foreign media such as Korean/Japanese for this sort of content. Considering China's relationship with Korea and Japan I don't know if that's what they want to do lmfao.

[@vylbird8014]

Or conversely, perhaps part of the motivation is fear that 'traditional' Chinese culture is being influenced too much? I can't help imagining the CCP leadership as a sort of Chinese-equivalent to the boomer stereotype, ranting about how much better everything was back in their day and trying to ban anything they find new and strange.

[@epicfail5473]

I would agree, but the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people only have access to what the CCP allows them to. So while some people will turn more away from CCP media, most won't. I think ultimately it will have the intended outcome of trying to further divide the Chinese people from their neighbors. Which the CCP obviously wants since part of its image as a world power is being aggressive towards it's neighbors.

[@BigfootRAHHH]

But in one way, the sex difference is stark: Men are physically stronger than women, on average. A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that men had an average of 26 lbs. (12 kilograms) more skeletal muscle mass than women. Women also exhibited about 40 percent less upper-body strength and 33 percent less lower-body strength, on average, the study found. The researchers found that height and weight differences between men and women could explain only about half of the difference in strength. Researchers reporting in 1993 in the European Journal of Applied Physiology(opens in new tab) found that men's brawn could also be attributed to a larger cross-section in individual muscle fibers. [5 Myths About Women's Bodies] And a 2006 study in the same journal revealed that men had much stronger grips than women - the difference was so big that 90 percent of the women scored lower than 95 percent of the men. The team also looked at highly trained female athletes who excelled at sports requiring a strong grip, such as judo or handball. Though these women did have a stronger grip compared with other women, they still performed worse than 75 percent of the men on this task. In general, men are also faster than women. The fastest woman in the world, Florence Griffith Joyner, ran the 100-meter dash in just 10.49 seconds in 1988, and that record remains unbroken. Yet her fastest time wouldn't have even qualified her for the men's 2016 Olympic competition, which requires competitors to finish the 100-meter sprint in 10.16 seconds or less. www.livescience.com/52998-women-combat-gender-differences.html

[@rongwu-sj9ws]

I am Chinese, and I would like to explain from another angle why Chinese people, especially traditional Chinese people, are worried about such things. China is a nation of history and we have great respect for history books. But according to Chinese history books, when men wear women's clothes and behave in an increasingly feminine way, it is a precursor to the imminent collapse of the dynasty. There are plenty of such accounts and arguments in the history books. ““末喜冠男子之冠，桀亡天下。”“男女之别，国之大节，故服物异等，赞币不同”，“遍身女衣者，尽是读书人”，“男穿女衣，亡国之兆”……”"When Muxi crowned a man's crown, Jie died in the world." "The difference between men and women, the country's great festival, so the clothes should be different "All gentelmen in academia are wearing women's clothes! cry !," "Men wearing women's clothes, the omen of the collapse of the country" ......I don't care if this argument is valid or not, but it does have a profound impact on the Chinese psyche. Chatting about it.

[@rongwu-sj9ws]

I remember about 30 years ago, when I first went to university and came to Beijing, one of the most open-minded city in China at that time, I saw a man dressed a bit like a woman. Several of my classmates from conservative rural provinces commented that if this man had turned up in our area, he would have been disabled by now because everyone would have beaten him up. I was feeling a bit shocked, and while I don't like males who dress like that either, it's not like I would beat them to disability. I mention this to illustrate two points, firstly, there is a fair degree of resistance to the feminisation of males in our nation, and secondly, after all, society is evolving, and now of course traditionalists will still be offended, but wherever they are, at least they won't be beaten up.

[@rongwu-sj9ws]

Honestly, for myself and most of the older Chinese around me, especially men, we have been complaining about this for a long time. We are afraid of it and we cannot do anything about it.

Society needs both insensitive an aggressive people to do some jobs, and sensitive and empathetic people to do other jobs. So every society has this split, that they call right and left. When a country is insecure, when they see enemies everywhere, then they will move to a war footing, which prioritises tough people (women too) and discourages sensitivity. Often politicians will move to a "tough guy" war footing even when there is no threat because it pulls the people behind them in a wave of nationalism. That way, they won't be kicked out of office for their mistakes and dodgy dealings. Rule of thumb: The dodgier the politician, the more likely there will be a push for a "warrior nation".

I think 'Effeminate' man has always been a part of Chinese culture. Traditionally, on one hand beauty standards towards men were in favor of man with a more 'neutral' look, but on the other hand, men like that were never idolized or admired. The public attitude towards men like that was ambivalent, they want to look like them, but they don't want to get all the sissy-man shaming. What's different nowadays is that with social media, technology, and western culture influence (gender identity, self-expression...), those small portion of people got disproportionate expose on social media and become role models of self-expression, progressiveness, and success (rich celebrity), and teenagers look up to them nowadays. I would like to see more debate on this topic as it touches on so many aspect of our society such as freedom of speech, gender expression, discrimination, social impact, etc...

[@xiiir838]

It really doesn't matter if it was part of their culture hundreds of years ago. First thing, is that culture changes, but you don't like these changes, that's why you see this as bad. Secondly, China went through a program of extermination of their past culture, that ultimately failed to be completed but it did create a new cultural identity in the form of the CCRP. Chinese people nowadays do not care for their past that much, they come from communist revolutionaries, that's their core Identity right now

[@liangke4276]

@@xiiir838 I do agree with the part that you said culture changes, and that's why the young generation in China are surprisingly open to gay culture for example.(though officially it's not legal for gay to get married). What I want to emphasize is the change brough by new ideas from the west and the impact of technology which gave minority disproportionate voices that ultimately lead to greater impact on the society. Something that has been part of the culture for centuries, suddenly got associated with gender identity and LGBT all that. The West hasn't figured it out yet. It's not surprising to see why China don't want this sub-culture become main stream when you saw all the nonsense happening in the West with woke culture. Secondly, it's undeniable that cultural revolution destroyed lots of historical buildings and families, but Chinese people till this day still celebrate the same festival, eat the same food, and share similar ideas as their ancestors. Claiming that they don't care for their past is just nonsense. A good (the thing itself is bad tho) example would be the unbalanced gender distribution in China because parents wanted boys not girls which it's bad but it was part of the tradition/culture. If their core identity were actually communist, none of that would've happened because gender equality was core to communism. Going back to your first point, culture does change and that's what's happening now, young parents don't follow the old generation and that's not because they are influenced by cultural revolution but rather modern ideas.

I totally disagree with the anti long hair part, the other things made more sense to me but this was just super dumb. And I'm saying it as a man who currently has short hair. But if we take a look at history, we'll easily find that most men had long hair regardless of their country, region or culture. Saying that having long hair is a stricly feminine trait now, because we evolved as a culture, is like saying that men never looked like men, and they never had a masculine hairstyle until trimmers and shavers were invented. Or that if a modern man gets lost in the jungle for some months without being able to cut his hair, then his hair will become feminine and he will look effeminated by the time he gets rescued. Sorry, I could keep giving examples but the point is that this is just 100% stupid and illogical, and there's no way that anyone will ever change my mind about it. I have previously read very long debates about this whole subject multiple times, and the _”long hair is feminine”_ arguments are always so poor... Now, there are some long hairstyles that *are* feminine; that’s another thing. But the same can be said about a bunch of these modern short hairstyles to be honest. That's why many dudes with long hair look way more masculine than other guys with short hair, especially if they also have a beard.

@Black King Tell that to the soldiers in WW2 that wanted drag shows so much that there's literally an army manual on how to throw one. You follow a cherrypicked history. One might consider it more charitable to call it mythology.

[@jingbot1071]

@Black King Do you want the name of the US army manual? I can provide it for you. It's literally on the US government website, like all army manuals.

I know people are going to get mad at this and try to argue with me about it, but Strangely enough this video is making me see a greater global connection hinting at things to come. The isolationist carving of National identities. The traditionalist/conservative enmeshing of countries are all images meant to prop the war effort in the future. It all strangely enough looks like this decades long foundation for a major military engagement. Maybe even a world war.

[@miketyson9540]

LMAO The west cannot fight any wars. Hasn't won one since WW2 save for when the entire world attacked iraq in the early 90s. . Feminism killed the west like it has so many civilizations. Female empathy runs the west and all rationality has gone out the window. Ask yourself this simple question: DO you think children should take puberty blockers? FIve years ago the answer would be HELL NO now you likely accept this as fact. Soon you will accept pedophilia. Empathy is what drives you towards this. Where is rationality? Men arent really expressing their views in the west. We are ran by girl brain. Men have completely checked out.

[@wutm8]

War isn't going anywhere. We aren't more civilized than our ancestors. If anything were the opposite and more hypocritical. Look at Pilosy going to Taiwan to talk about colonialism. Meanwhile the American Samoan islanders and Puerto Ricans still get taxed without representation. Also got drafted during WW2 and Vietnam. Hypocrisy and war hawing at it's finest

[@ASimpleHeroinUser]

They noticed the problems in the drop of young men joining the military world wide since these gays and sissy boys have came out. If everyone loses masculinity who will protect and sacrifice for their loved ones?

[@peagames2002]

I don't think it's how it will work. Someone dressing on opposite gender shouldn't stoke a world war. Wars were stoked mainly due religious indifferences and greed for land. It would be silly to say that war would break out because few pair of people are gay. Thanks to age of internet, alternative perspectives of history are helping people see hidden contexts of conflicts before it escalates. To state opinion and side with those that are being wronged.
