Masculinity classes in China

Quote:Quote:

The so-called "boy crisis" — the claim that boys are becoming physically weaker and emotionally more vulnerable than girls — is starting to worry Chinese teachers and parents.

Finally, teachers and parents are starting to be concerned. Perhaps a little late for this generation, but at least its a start.

"We would like to introduce some of the best traits in men valued by Chinese tradition, such as bravery, the courage to overcome difficulties and the sense of responsibility," Xu said.

"For girls, we hope to cultivate their gentleness, carefulness and grace," she added.

Ha. Top That MotherF*ckers™!

The lack of manly traits in boys in big cities can be blamed on the fact that many boys are overprotected, as they are the only child in the family and their parents are also only children, Shen said.

Lack of role models?

Quote:Quote:

The absence of a father figure in families also contributes to the lack of masculinity in boys. In the case of Xiaolei, his father is always very busy and seldom picks him up in the kindergarten, said the teachers.


Happens in China with a low divorce rate, what is going to happen with 15% of kids being raised by women in the USA?

Quote:Quote:

Cao Yanmei, a mother from Suqian in Jiangsu province, has been vigilant on the female-dominant child-rearing environment. She invited her father, who used to serve in the army, to help take care of her 4-year-old son.

"My father would not spoil the child. When my son did something mischievous, he would not yell to stop him, but would let him learn the lesson by himself," she said.

Changing the culture, one child at a time.

Quote:Quote:

While the boys' club is based around a sports theme, the girls' club is decorated as a sweet, pink house. There is a corner where girls learn to make flower bouquets, a small kitchen where they "cook" with toy food materials, a wardrobe with plenty of skirts for girls to wear and a T-stage where they can show off their style.

"Some questioned why boys could not do the activities of girls, or why girls are confined to the stereotypical professions. We actually fully consulted the children's wishes and designed the two clubs according to their choices," Zhu said.

Well. Who would have known. Boys like doing masculine activities, and girls like doing feminine activities. Oh, but only when the children are consulted, and not when the parents (mothers, teachers) force their ideologies on the kids.

China needs to stop aborting female babies or else you get serious scarcity mentality amongst the males which also causes weakness amongst males when faced up towards women

Either that, or they will eventually embark on a world war to even out the male and female numbers and make their men more masculine.

It's not a lack of role models. From what I understand, social safety nets don't exist in China. So male children are an insurance policy. If you only have one, it makes sense to coddle him so that he makes it until you are old and can take care of you.
