In a bid to shore up its perceived strength as an ascendant global leader, the ruling Chinese Communist Party has banned effeminate men, which it refers to by a phrase in Chinese that translates roughly to “sissy men,” from the media.
The ban affects a spectrum of Chinese males, ranging from full-on transgenders to pop music stars with silky smooth skin and boyish charm.
It’s no exaggeration to say that East Asian “sissy men” are effeminate in the extreme. Exhibit A is the South Korean boy band phenom BTS.
I know, from hands-on, in-the-field amateur sociological research, that East Asian women, as a general rule, adore men who present in this way. The ultra-masculine ideal — assuming it existed at some point in Asia (which it surely did, for instance, in WWII-era Imperial Japan) — no longer does. So there is substantial social incentive for East Asian men to adopt this persona and appearance.
The problem here for China, as for the rest of the world, is that it’s going to need a lot more than censorship to combat the feminization of men. It’s the physical environment, not just the culture, driving the phenomenon.

While our military glorifies sissy men
“We’re not gonna make it, are we...”
Perhaps the “transcom” protesters need a trip to beijing? Go ahead, I dare ya.
Go China?
What is BTS? Boys to sissies?
LOL
Girly men bump.
Did they pay extra for those jeans that look like rags? When my daughter wanted to buy jeans like that, I rubbed some sand paper on them to make some well-placed holes and called it a day. In my day, we would put patches on them or you was considered “po.”
If at some point China whips our asses we have no one to blame but us.
Indulging and promoting delusional fantasies has its cost.
Western women are not much different, just they take a big hit socially for being seen patronizing young pretty boys. Conservatives like to blame Hollywood for cultural rot, but it's actually women choosing it. Hollywood fails to make a profit 90% of the time, earning all their money off the few winners, so is super in tune to what their customers want. Once Hollywood has a rare fad on their hands, they beat it to death. Women still make most family buying decisions, so 80% of the consumer economy is driven by their disturbing interests.
South Korea has an entire entertainment industry they call “K POP’’. It’s boy and girl bands that jump around singing and dancing and they all burn out after about a year or two.
and all have to serve in the military...
Good for China !
Obama....
Michelle: Uh, I do those with 50 pounders. I thought I threw those light ones away. Used to use them for cooling down.
Well, there’s always angst ...
Hans und Frans are laughing.
And the richness of French cultural diversity. The poor faukers have been buried in Islam. Italians suffering the same fate, Spaniards too.
Soon their national languages will be Arabic.
look at the Arabic street signs going up in Germany.
I blame this on the hijacking of the education system by obamanites, the coalition of the Marxist Muslims who took control of the education system.
Islam never created scat of benefit to modern man. Nothing over the last thousand years. But, they are our equals, right?
The Marxists have never created anything other than advanced suffering for all, blended with more corruption. Both Russians and Chinese are still stealing technology from us.
But these are the guys who the obamanites push to run the world.
