Or it's just not really an accurate view of how things there are.
Over the last few years i'v been around a fair amount of Chinese people in my MBA. More than on one occasion I engaged them on political topics, some involving China's behavior. In reality they actually don't view what their government is doing as bad, and in reality the one's I spoke to kind of defended certain actions like what was happening with the Uyghurs. These were also highly educated, coming from affluent families, many with some sort of background with parents working in business.
Their whole society is built on hierarchy, like most Asian cultures. They don't push their kids to be average but push them to be the best, mostly in the arena of academia and working. There's a reason why they talk about their 996 schedules and their top CEO's push and encourage those slave like hours, it's to excel and outcompete. So this notion that they want their men to be weak is completely illogical and antithetical to many other blatantly obvious examples of how they are striving for dominance. Whether it's the Olympics, business, militarily and imperialistically they want to be better.
So you're saying the rich people are happy with the status quo. Tell me more about how the whole society is represented by affluent Chinese working in America.
Here's another example. There is absolutely nothing biological about pulling a fishing boat behind a truck. My mom always gets comments about how "I didn't know women could launch a boat like that" when she puts her boat in the water to go fishing.
Still waiting on you to come up with an example of society determining what's masculine.
and if I'm being honest my mom does her own yard work, launches her own boat, guts and cleans her own fish, splits her own wood, etc. She's more "masculine" than basically everybody here.
