Beijing, Taipei concerned about effeminate recruits.

Well, the lack of ability to cope with strenuous activity seems to be common for the younger generation around the world in general, but have any of you actually seen the average Generation Y male in Taiwan (I don't know about China, so I can't comment on that)? For the younger generation, meterosexuality is pretty much the norm. Half of the cosmetics section at most Watson's (kinda like the local equivalent of CVS but sans pharmacy) locations is men's care products. Purses are completely regarded as unisex. Those recently-announced Levis Ex-Girlfriend Jeans? They've had those in Taiwan for years now.

Anyway, I don't see why they need to be concerned about "effeminate" recruits, especially when eleven months military service is compulsory for all males anyway (for now, at least: conscription was two years back in my dad's days and is apparently being reduced to just four months of military training and optional service afterwards in a few years). It's not like there's a sudden wave of effeminiate younger males yearning to be in the military since those kids don't really have much choice unless they have some medical problem. It's just the older generation of men complaining about the younger generation of men using a different context.

So what exactly does this have to do with men's rights, anyway?
