What is neutrality? It's neither a girly man with blue fingers up, nor a woman with big shoes and an inch hairstyle to be cool. Neutrality does not mean gender inversion, it expresses a neutral attitude and temperament, which is imitated by some teenagers now. Song Fei, a senior psychological counselor of Jilin Women and Children Psychological Counseling Center, believes that the prevalence of "neutrality" represents the change of people's aesthetic trend and breaks the shackles of traditional male and female aesthetics. According to traditional aesthetic standards, men should be muscular and women should be fat with big breasts and hips. However, with the development of social economy and the arrival of the information age, people have gradually developed aesthetic fatigue, and are in urgent need of a new element to fill it and give it a new standard, so that the traditional aesthetics will develop in a diversified way, which just provides an opportunity for those who don't have "beauty" but want to show themselves, so that they can create themselves creatively with a neutral style in order to gain public recognition.
Reasons for the emergence of neutral culture:
First, the market came into being because of the need, and the media and entertainment industry played a huge role in stimulating the market. In recent years, due to the mushrooming of various talent shows such as Super Girl and My Hero, more and more hermaphrodites have completed the transformation from "grassroots" to "entertainment focus". For example, Chris Lee and BiBi Zhou, among the top three super girls in 2005, and Laure Shang, Lena and Xu Fei in 2006 also cultivated countless fans. Its supporters and imitators are amazing. Stimulated by the media and entertainment industry, "neutrality" has gradually become the key word of popular culture. For many people, "neutrality" has even become an attitude towards life and even a hidden rule.
Second, due to the unclear social division of labor, women's social status is constantly improving, and the voice of women's economic independence is getting higher and higher. Economic status determines the superstructure. In modern society, there are more and more demands on men, and the pressure on men is increasing. At this time, men require women to have a certain economic foundation. On the second basis, it broke the concept that men go out to work to support their families and women stay at home. In modern society, this division of labor has been blurred.
Third, this is related to the orientation of public opinion. The diversity of the world makes the world integrated, and so does the aesthetics of the world. It is also related to the way of family education. We often find that some parents treat men as women, so men grow up to be feminine and so on.
