The intrepid travelers who run the ADVChina channel, Winston from serpentza and C-Milk (Matthew Tye) from laowhy86, were on a road adventure in Taiwan and decided to address a few topics about child-rearing and masculinity in China. Their thoughts on the subject are highly revealing about the realities of China’s crisis of masculinity:
Both videos point to a significant crisis within China that you simply will not see highlighted by the mainstream whorenalists and the access (((media))). That is because they are in no small part funded and bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.
If you don’t believe me, just open up a copy of the New York F***ing Slimes sometime and look at their China Watch section. That is bought and paid for by China Daily, which is part of the CCP’s state media apparatus.
But, inevitably, the truth gets out in the end. And the truth is that, as I stated in a previous podcast, China is far weaker than most people think.
Chinese men are indeed highly mollycoddled, particular in the latest generations. And Chinese men are indeed considerably less masculine – by Western, and Russian, standards of manliness – than their American and European equivalents.
The problems outlined in these two videos are not limited to China, by the way. You will find similar problems throughout much of South, Southeast, and East Asia. Masculinity, as understood in Asia, is very different from Western understandings of the same concept. That is one major reason why you will find that men in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and so on, are far more effeminate and feminised than Westerners would find acceptable.
You will find the same thing in India – though this is NOT a universal rule. If you go to the Indian frontier states in the western part of the country – Rajasthan, Punjab, Kashmir, and so on – you will encounter some of the biggest, scariest, hairiest, and most muscular characters that you can imagine. Men in those frontier states are brought up to be rough, tough, and nasty. They have to be. That is where a good part of the Indian military’s recruiting goes on, because those are the places where the men are the most readily able to stand and fight.
But in general, Indian men are known for being soft, weak, and Beta. I went over the reasons for that in a previous podcast too, and the reasons are eerily similar to what the lads from ADVChina mentioned.
What the Chinese are dealing with here is a nearly perfect storm of anti-masculine headwinds.
First, they are severely mollycoddled as children, and it isn’t just us foreign devils saying this. The Chinese military themselves have admitted this fact in internal memos, and they are the ones calling their own youngsters wimps, sissies, and little emperors. You can find articles in China’s own state-run media about this, which in and of itself is pretty shocking.
Second, that mollycoddling is a direct and clear result of Confucian ethics and culture, which clearly states that sons are important and daughters are not. This is not merely a Confucian ethic, either; you will find similar sentiments expressed throughout South Asia as well, and with similarly disastrous consequences for male development. That culture and the mindset that it inculcates is in direct conflict with the realities of the world, where men simply cannot always get away with being demanding stubborn assholes all the time. At certain points, men need to give way and accept reality simply as it is, without throwing fits and acting like infants. This is much, much harder to do when you don’t have a culture telling you that acting like a spoiled brat, as an adult, is unacceptable.
Third, China’s one-child policy and the strong desire of parents to have sons rather than daughters has resulted in a completely lopsided sex ratio. In some parts of the country it is so bad that there are 130 men for every 100 women, or thereabouts. This is a big part of the reason why China is one of the world’s top destinations for women captured and sold into sex-slavery.
Fourth, as stated in the second video above, arranged marriages are a very real thing in China (and India too, for that matter). When you combine this with the other factors above, especially the ways in which sons are spoiled absolutely rotten, you have millions of men who have never really suffered to get anything that they have. They’ve never really had to fight for their possessions or their place in the world. They’ve been given a clear set path and track in life, and they just proceed blindly down that track without ever really thinking about where they are going.
They don’t have to improve themselves. They don’t have to make themselves. They don’t have to carve out their own place in the world and then attract a woman into that place.
In other words, they are the very epitome of everything blue-pill.
A somewhat different way of thinking about it may be found in terms of the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang.
This requires some explanation, and I have neither the time nor the expertise to provide it. For this, let us turn to a guest speech from Richard Grannon of the Spartan Street Project and other initiatives. This was sent to me by Dawn Pine, and it really helped me work through some issues that I was dealing with a few weeks back:
That is well worth watching in full, but for our purposes the important stuff happens in about the first 10-15 minutes. Basically, as Mr. Grannon points out, the major distinctions in the world are not between “red-pill” and “blue-pill”, not between “Alpha” and “Beta”, not between “Chad” and “normie”, not between “man” and “cuck”, but in fact between ADULT and child.
That’s the truth.
This immediately begs the question: what is an adult?
An adult is a man – or a woman, but let’s stick with the male pronoun for now – who takes responsibility for his own life. He lives in the now. He understands the future consequences of his actions. He recognises that what he can control, and what he cannot. There are significant intersections between classical psychology, ancient philosophy (specifically, Stoicism), and Christianity in this definition. This is not coincidental, because to be an adult requires embracing TRUTH, in all of its merciless glory.
An adult embraces conflict and risk, because these things determine one’s future happiness, prosperity, stability, and place in the world. An adult is difficult to make upset and rarely gets overemotional, because he understands that this is just a moment in time and there will be many such moments, so it isn’t worth getting angry or frustrated over things too much at the moment.
A child is someone who runs away from the truth and closes his eyes to it and refuses to change his ways when the truth batters his senseless and shows him his own inadequacies. A child wants everything done for him. A child shies away from conflict and refuses to confront problems head-on.
A child is easily upset and gets emotional quickly, and cannot look to the future easily.
This is precisely the kind of population of man-babies that China is creating, and indeed has already created.
Again, these are not my words or sentiments. This is what the Chinese themselves say.
And it’s not just the Chinese, either. One of my best friends is from Singapore. She was my co-worker and colleague, way back in the day. She’s about 11 years older than me and currently married and living in the USA. She told me, many years ago, long before I understood anything about the red-pill, that Singaporean men were weak and wimpy and not at all ambitious, and she didn’t find any of that attractive.
This problem is endemic throughout most of Asia, precisely because so many men simply don’t have to strive that much for what they have. They are spoiled by their families and do not encounter much by way of conflict or problems.
So for those men who fear a future conflict between the West and China, that’s the good news. You’re dealing with a population of men who are not mentally or physically prepared for conflict. There are exceptions, obviously – plenty of them, given the size of the Chinese population – but overall, East Asian men are not going to pose a significant threat to a tough, well-disciplined, technologically capable, battle-hardened military force.
That, however, is about the extent to which we can be positive about such things.
The problems facing Western men are arguably far worse than anything facing the Chinese. In China, men are weak and women are scarce, but at least there are still very clearly defined gender roles in their society. There are clear delineations of what is yin, or feminine, and what is yang, or masculine.
Western societies are racing against each other to erase the distinctions between the sexes. They are trying to remove all polarity between men and women. This is disastrous, and the results are very clearly showing up in the American and British militaries right now.
At least in China, they aren’t stupid enough to permit women to serve in mixed-gender combat units (as far as I know). In America, by contrast, the military has been used as a gigantic social-engineering experiment to permit women to serve in combat alongside men, to the overall great detriment of unit cohesion, brotherhood, morale, and combat readiness.
When it comes to a battle between civilisations, an effeminate society that is nonetheless united in its resolve to preserve its culture and way of life is always going to win out in the end against a culture determined to destroy itself from within.

Hey Didact, Yes the western world is a problem at this time.
I was going out with a woman recently and I force the question since the relationship was not going anywhere. Note she is a christian woman. I wanted the relationship to move and I know she is in her 30s and we have been seeing each for some months. Time is limited and I hate wasting it but surprise she and many other woman waste it. Some want to see the world, others think the prefect man is out there and still others some say God (or some other force such as feelings) will guide them. Also some will spend their time on men that are not serious and just want to have fun. I men such as myself have done this as well. I hope I have change from my 20s realizing the world does not care about you. I blame the older generation that poison many of the woman (and men) of today.
I watched Alan Jones on Sky news Australia last night. Great show and he is right on the overreaction on Cov-19, comparing the numbers to swine flu. Near the end of the show he interviews 2 women on issues of Cov19 and the state response. I know he has been called Misogynist and he might be saving himself. He kept going on how smart these women are and saying how their families must be proud. It got annoying, and I know it is because the culture we live in at the moment is pushing women to go into university, corporate jobs and politics.
