China Launches School for "Sissies"

A Chinese elementary school has launched a program aimed at feminine-acting boys called “Looking for a Real Man” amid fears the young students are turning into sissies.

The initiative launched at Qinlinglu Elementary School in Zhengzhou in the Henan province. According to the Dahe Daily, in the program, “youngsters are taught how to act more masculine and must take an oath swearing to act like real men.”

Wang Jianhua, a teacher at the school for the last 14 years, said he has noticed young men are becoming “more and more girly.”

"During class breaks their favorite game is elastic band skipping, which is a typical girl's game,” he said. "And the boys are very fragile. If we just scold them a bit they will cry out loudly."
