In China, a School Trains Boys to be ¡®Real Men¡¯

[Dennis143]

Not having contact sports and where most young men look (and act) rather effeminate, I often wondered how tough and rugged a Chinese army would or could be.

 

To the club’s thinking, the alternative for the boys, ages 7 to 12, is life in a society where androgynous pop idols, overprotective mothers and mostly female teachers would turn them into effeminate crybabies.

In China, boys learn to be men. In America, they are taught to whine

• American education has succumbed to the forces of cultural rot
• A society that encourages boys to be hypersensitive, whining ninnies more concerned about offending others than with truth, is preparing them to lose

As Boys’ Club coach Tang put it: “Men are tough, gentlemen, full of spirit. They speak in a loud, clear voice and they stand firm. They are not shy of public speaking and, more importantly, they are ready to shoulder responsibility.” A society that teaches this to their young men is a society poised to succeed. A society that encourages them to be hypersensitive, whining ninnies more concerned about offending others than with truth, is preparing them to lose.

Perhaps the problem that both China and America have is not Old White Men, but rather young white men and their foolish, destructive ideas.
