Chinese Idol: Asexual

In the U.S., when a men is referred as Metrosexual, it means he is as fashionable as a women. However, in China, what's trendy is asexual, meaning girls are trying to look like a boy, while a boy dress like a girl.

If backdorm boys still look like boys, today's singers, stars only appear to confuse you.

From super popular superlady Li Yuchun to boy singer Song Xiaobo, from stars to common street walkers in any cities , gender line between girls and boys in China is certainly blurred.

Some praise the trend as increasing women's right, as economy continues to grow and 74% of Chinese women work and earn more income, women will become more equal to their peers, physically or psychologically. At the same time, to appeal to girls, young men will dress like a popular singer, with long hair and a slim body.

What is your take?
