Democrats and other American leftists are waging a war against something they call "toxic masculinity." Any attribute deemed exclusively male is bad. Meanwhile, China is heading in a different direction. It's decided that its boys have become too feminized and is working hard to inculcate more manly qualities.
The war on boys has been in play for some time. I first became aware of it when my son was three, and a darling kid who was the perfect boy stereotype. He was fascinated with trucks, dinosaurs, and superheroes. Unlike my daughter and her friends, who often sat and talked, he and his friends frolicked like little goats, jumping around, and butted heads for the fun of it all.
Outside his little enclave, all was not well. The first tip-off was the five-year-old girl in the t-shirt that read, "Boys Having Feelings Too But Who Cares?"
Schools were a problem, too. Outside Montessori classrooms, which allow children to move around, public school education is geared to girls, who sit quietly. Boy energy is anathema in a classroom. This is especially true given the fact that public schools are overrun by women — and, nowadays, women who, in college, didn't learn much about history (or math, geography, English, etc.), but did learn about toxic masculinity.
Technically speaking, according to the New York Times, toxic masculinity is nothing more than the unhealthy, dangerous manly habit of tamping down on emotions, appearing tough, and using violence. The world would be a better place if men sat around and talked about their emotions, appeared soft and gentle all the time, and were never physical.
That's ridiculous.

A notice from China's education ministry has caused a stir after it suggested young Chinese men had become too "feminine". The message has been criticised as sexist by many online users — but some say China's male celebrities are partly to blame.
For a while China's government has signalled concern that the country's most popular male role models are no longer strong, athletic figures like "army heroes". Even President Xi Jinping, a well-known football enthusiast, has long been seeking to cultivate better sports stars.
So last week, the education ministry issued a notice with a title that left no doubt about its ultimate goal.
The Proposal to Prevent the Feminisation of Male Adolescents called on schools to fully reform their offerings on physical education and strengthen their recruitment of teachers.
In a clash between the two societies, it doesn't take a genius to see which will prevail.
Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee were Chinese martial arts screen heroes at least for Western audiences going way back. So not sure what this is all about.
Pei-Ping.

Well, we used to have Chuck Norris. But he’s conservative so he is going to be cancelled.

I think another big problem is the lack of faith in China. No one’s going to war thinking that if they’re killed, they’ll have their just reward in heaven. Death marks the end of everything.
I could just cry.
I would like to figure out what the hell happened to any male kid born in the US after 1985 and their testosterone levels. I’m an average guy pushing 60, and I have about much testosterone still running around in me as the TYPICAL 25 year old today. Not many are talking about it, but I think it is a huge part of many of the growing holes in our social fabric. These twerps CAN be feminized because they are half-way there already.
No better way to conquer an enemy than to make the enemy into wussies and snowflakes, voluntarily.
Well they must have taken a lot of Advil for all the headaches they endured going through publik ejumukashun. Advil (ibuprofen was shown to cause sterility in males).
The best masculinity training is a decent father in the home.
Not perfect. Just decent.
