- 其實，在社會上也可以發現，男孩做出女性化行爲所承受到的壓力，遠大於女孩子做出男性化的行爲；對於前者娘娘腔的行爲會被視爲是一種變態與病態的行爲，而後者男人婆的行爲卻會被社會視爲是一種「帥」勁。 [MSC, trad.]

[Pinyin]
- Actually, in society, one can discover that the pressure that a boy must endure when he exhibits feminine behaviour is far greater than a girl exhibiting masculine behaviour; for the former, effeminate behaviour would be seen as a kind of perversion or illness, yet for the latter, tomboyish behaviour would be seen by society as something cool.
