"China's Ban on 'Sissy Men' Is Bound to Backfire (as well as being genuinely awful)" Hm. I'm afraid what repercussions 'well-educated and financially independent women' are gonna face. I doubt the government's crusade will stop here.

A century or more ago in the West a man who wore earrings was stereotypically a longshoreman or an equally big tough sailor. The only thing that makes us think of earrings as exclusively feminine is that increased mechanism meant there was less need for muscle work with ships so that style went out of fashion.

Date: 2022-01-02 09:10 pm (UTC)I can't believe that the edict is genuinely supposed to have an economic benefit in the first place :( But it's possible that saying it does harm to the country is an argument against it that might be acceptable in China? I don't know :(

Date: 2022-01-04 02:57 am (UTC)Never seen that kind of hue test before and got 0, cool! I know that I have some color-perception problems, but they take the form of a shift, not certain ranges dropping out or fuzzifying, so that makes sense.
