Straight Man Cancer (Chinese: 直男癌) coined by the users of douban and weibo in mid-2014, is a Chinese relationship slang that generally used to depict the chauvinist, judgmental behaviors and language of narrow-minded macho men who propel sexist double standards or belittles women. The term originated from mainland China could be a result of the self-sufficient economy and family tradition of preference for sons and personal factors that this kind of men’s self-worth could not be achieved and their unawareness of women’s status . This is a term thrown at that extra-manly man who is overly proud of his poor taste and lives in the all-too-narrow confines of his own world. This kind of man seems to live in the past, hold outdated moral values and would be more fitted to an ancient Chinese dynasty, particularly when talking and thinking about women.He has terrible fashion sense, feels good about himself and holds disrespect for women. This term reflects a typical phenomenon that widely appears in China and all over the world.As people have become more and more aware of gender equality nowadays,this term will become more and more significant in the future. ==Characteristics== * Raising nonsensical requests and demands to others * Advocating materialism * Having extreme emotions * Being self-indulgent, not logical * Not willing to take any responsibility (to shirk one's duty) * Being self-centered * Desiring to be an authority * Yearning to rely on others *Focusing on working and cannot get on well with female *Have no sense in fashion but unconscious about it *Fearful about homosexual deeply *Sticking on obsolete ideas *Not respecting females *Depending on his mother deeply,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.douban.com/note/365822007/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Straight man cancer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
