Opposite hair
A few years back, I didn’t quite believe my father when he told me that Chinese people seem to have their boys looking like girls and girls looking like boys. I thought that was only just for certain people, and not a lot of people liked the fad. But when I volunteered to bring students from China on a tour along the United States eastern coast, I discovered that this wasn’t as false as I had believed. There were girls who dressed like boys. There were also girls who dressed traditionally like girls, with longer hair and the more feminine clothing, but the number of girls who looked like boys shocked me. I was quite surprised when I discovered that this boy that I had always assumed to be a bit weird because he would wear pink every single day (although, they looked like pink boy clothes) turned out to be a guy-looking type girl. She walked like a boy, and that’s what had gotten me thinking she was a guy from the very beginning.
A month ago, I was looking into the Super Girl Contest that’s held nationally in mainland China. The winners are all girls, yes, but some could pass as males. Very feminine males.
Especially since all these people are winners, this really says something about the trend in China. The Chinese people elect who are the winners, and since they elected these people, they must like the look.
Many of the males in China seem to have longer hair (or that might just be Taiwan). Although they don’t have the levels of feminism a few Japanese goth musicians do, these boys seem to be creeping closer and closer to the feminine line. No, they don’t look like
But they do look feminine.

To be honest I don’t “get” this style. I have a lot of so-called “Honger” friends who dress like guys and get mistaken by teachers as a guy. To me that would be a HORRIFYING thing to happen. I like my long hair, tight jeans, and halters thank you very much.
