Chinese Plan to Boost 'Masculinity' With PE Classes Sparks Debate
AsiaOne ^ | FEBRUARY 02, 2021

A plan in China to get boys to do more sports as a way of making them more manly has reopened a debate between those who urge more diversity and those backing a more masculine society.

The education ministry has said it aims to increase the number of physical education teachers and revamp gym classes to boost the “masculinity” of students.

The plan was in response to a proposal last May by a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, an advisory body to the government, calling for help for boys who have become too delicate, timid and effeminate after being schooled mostly by women teachers, the ministry said. A hashtag on the ministry’s plan has chalked up 1.5 billion views on the Weibo social media platform by Wednesday (Feb 3).

By nature, Chinese are not very masculine.

And entire nation of nerds.

But as every real man knows, you cannot teach balls.

If the ‘bulk up’, they’ll all end up looking like panda bear.

I think this has more to do with the one child policy than anything.

You have a generation of special snow flakes.

That will not do if you want them in a fighting army.

Do Crossfit, Xi. That’ll even make your few women more manly.

It would be very interesting to see NSA’s and the CIA’s stats on the ChiCom’s current population age, sex, and ???!

I read an article the other day where the new generations are like screw this work at the crab and they’re screwing around all the time learning how to work the system just like us good old Americans

They’ve seen the generations before toil hundred 120 hours a week and never really get ahead in there like you know what I’m gonna enjoy life

There is no doubt that the widespread view of Christianity and the belief in God and things bigger than this world and the fact that the monk life in the meditative life is a golden life has something to do with it

China is a bandit civilization full of low-trust midwits that should have been left to Imperial Japan.

By 2030, the average population of China will be older than the U.S.

It’s somewhat difficult to read your post, as there was no
punctuation used, but you have some very interesting observations.

Do you suppose China lets the men-who-feel-like-women compete on the women’s sports teams?

When will Slo Joe condemn China for encouraging more athleticism and masculinity? Seems like these would be “human rights” issues to all the leftists.

The Chinese now have enough calories to introduce sports into their everyday life.

The Russians had that problem in the past.

China wants to raise warriors to fight a future US military comprised of anything but men.

We are so screwed.
