Have you ever noticed that in places where the idea of male superiority is deeply rooted, parents' biggest fear for their sons is that he might behave like a girl? Have you ever seen a man be ostracized by family or society simply because he has long hair or shows a gentle, delicate side? When you realize that this rejection actually stems from an unconscious devaluation of women, do you find this stereotype both absurd and pitiful? The more a family values male dominance and lineage, the more they fear their son exhibiting feminine traits. That is what they fear and dislike the most. You might find that in rural areas, children who are proud of their ancestors may perform poorly academically, love to fight, curse a lot, neglect hygiene, or even steal chickens and dogs, but it’s almost impossible for them to be feminized. However, I know of a long-haired man in real life whose father is a son-in-law, and his maternal family is strong and influential, so his relatives are not as opposed to him having long hair. Because they don’t see femininity as shameful, they naturally don’t mind this so-called feminization.
