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).

I didn’t know the Chinese had that problem, at least not to the point of open discussion about it and taking political action on it.

Then again, they have centuries of trying to combat impotentcy by using rino horn “viagra” and eating tiger penis soup so something smelly’s apparently floating in their cultural swimming pool.

Now that they can see the damage effeminate men have done to our foreign policy - and no doubt enjoying the influence on US power that they have gained by courting our politicians from the rear, they are becoming alarmed it will infect theirs, too.

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

Might be sooner than that with the help of Andrew Cuomo and his governing friends.

We’ve got our boys in dresses and girls with testosterone supplements, so they have no chance.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

If testosterone is on the wane as has been reported, gym class may not be enough.

So it seems China has soy boys too, must be something in the water.
