Because of their abortion practices, China's male population is steadily growing while her female population is steadily decreasing, (in ratio, at least). It is expected, within 20 years, that China's male to female ratio will be about 65/35, give or take. As China's male ratio increases, experts, logically, expect China's militant boldness, confidence, and strength to increase.

Simultaneously, the US and UK are steadily becoming effeminate. Much due to their respective "feminist movements". Both nations, for the last 4 decades, have attempted to demasculinize men. Attempting to remove the natural aggresion in men. Assuming, this would improve society.

However, without the US and UK noticing, they both may be giving China a greater advantage. China can match both in technology. Yet, soon enough, will crush both in masculine, military power. China would destroy both in close-range combat. By numbers, and strength.

Would an effeminate US and UK be able to overcome a masculine China?

I've asked this in other forums. I'm hoping for a unique perspective.

Menapause may increase a woman's hormones, but it weakens them physically. When was the last time a women in menapause just wanted to bench-press 320lbs, and run 3 miles afterward? In addition, most women in menapause are in their late 30s to 40s. Your comments were based on ignorant feminine pride.

Rational Thinker, there is a difference between pride and delusion. I, as a man, am proud of my masculinity, but I don't think I'm Super Man!!

I agree with your theory of the changing of the man. It bothers me that menare now so soft and metrosexual is somehow sexy. I do think that this lessens the strength of our military and country to a point. The military is still made up of bad asses but I think in a all out war situation we have a large number of men who would rather learn to speak another language than fight. It is unfortunate what we (the US) have become in our society. I look back to the toughness of men and women in the WWII era and am amazed that we have changed so drastically since then. I blame the 60's and the children they had.

I've seen some of your answers, and you're reasonably intelligent, so I don't know why you're asking a question that relies on tenuous assumptions.

The m/f ratio won't go that high. To go that high, we'd have to assume population control was still in effect (very possible), that the government doesn't continue issuing incentives for parents to raise a girl (unlikely), and that should the ratio become more disproportionate over time that it wouldn't be stabilized (by government, sociology, or natural means). You're also extrapolating traditionally considered male traits upon a society as a whole. There's a theory about society acting as its own organism, in a sort of meta-convergence of its citizenry. I don't buy into it, personally. Third, China is formally governed by a few people, not a majority. All of those are male now, and the ratio of gender probably won't change that fact for the future.

Assuming that the feminist movement is the root of political correctness in western culture is incorrect. Nor has feminism as a movement made our culture effeminate-- it's a movement about personal rights, and has nothing to do with aggression on a whole-- now men can't channel that aggression into disparaging women. Darn, right? You take it as self-evident that men have been demasculinized, but I disagree. I would want specific examples. Assuming men are naturally aggressive is a common pretext and excuse for poor behavior; you've listed war, for example. I don't think our culture is sapping men of aggression, and if it was, is that so bad? Is natural instinct so desirable? Murder is an instinct. Shouldn't we resist that? If you want to revert back, how far would you like to go? Cave Man stylee? It's a slippery slope. You imply that the demasculinization of men hasn't improved society. I think it would be impossible to know for sure, but in my opinion it has.

China can't match both in technology. They are advancing rapidly, but they're not there yet. China won't crush anything, other than (maybe) Taiwan. A western invasion upon China would be suicide, and a Chinese invasion upon America would be the same. Numbers don't wins wars, regardless.

Any war, even without WMDs, would end in a catastrophic stalemate.

I think you're just trying to get a rise out of people ;).

Now, men are not becoming weaker. Feminism was made to make women stronger and more empowered not men weaker. You always talk of how women are being killed, abused, and raped. That doesn't sound weak to me, it sounds like brute force.

The USA/UK army has strong men and women who are willing to defend the country. They have strong weapons and great combat training.

Now, the reason that China is so strong is because it's a COMMUNIST PARTY which means they're soceity is pretty much dominated my military strength. Also, China has always been a larger country. Just making the men stronger and the women weaker isn't going to beat China. As you clearly said that China has many people, and it doesn't make a difference if they're masculine they'll always have military strength because they're Communist.

Who are you to say? You're always prancing about your "masculine pride" and encouraging women to flaunt their "feminine pride," so what's the problem? Really, that's just hypocritical.

Great Question:

If you are going to talk about just numbers regarding the military - China probably already has a larger army then the US. They are 1/3 of the population of the world on their own. So, I do not think if it comes down to a numbers war that the US or UK could win alone or together against China.

Still looking at just the military, but taking into account training and technology you are looking at something different TODAY. right now we have an okay military. I would disagree with one of the above answers that said we have the best military. I think that we have learned alot about war today with our conflict with Iraq. Our military does not have the necessary equipment to protect it self. Many personnel don't have body armor and our jeeps, truck, and tanks need better protection.

In the end, the side that doesn't care about civilian loss will be the winner.

The question may be moot if the deciding factor is technology. But then we will have become the robots the futurists predict.

As to the feminization of US and UK, that is underway due to Political Correctness foisted on a generous US and UK population in/about the 60s. This is so apparent today when someone such as myself discusses the facts surrounding the illegal immigrant invastion. Otherwise with-it Americans grow very uncomfortable coughing up an opinion because they have been brought up not to "offend" anyone at any time. This has caused a softness in "real" men in this country that places them at risk of paralysis. PC results in mediocrity in every approach we make living and working in a country now hijacked by Activists who, very brightly, know they have the American male and female on the defensive. We have always known that if a bridge were built (very wide, of course) between China and the US, that nation would merely have to direct its populace to "walk over Americans." Would we dare being called the "R" word by detonating the bridge as the population approaches? Politicians, industrialists and activists would not as they would hope to profit by welcoming the "cultural change."
Finally, we see in our schools how boys are reduced to humiliation when displaying the rough housing and physical contact I and my generation engaged in simply because it is what boys do. Now days, a boy risks being labeled a predator if he gives a brief hug to a female friend on campus. And yes, the girls know that and they do love teasing the poor, confused boy who has to have some physical (the normal kind) of contact. We are a nation of wusses. The founding fathers - who never bowed to PC - would be in shock and probably 5150'd in 2006 America. I am ashamed

Apparently you have never met a pissed off woman who has gone through menopause and has more testosterone in her body than you PLUS she's had enough of little boys playing at war...........................

Remember- the USA's predominantly female population will ALL go through menopause. And for my generation-the baby boomer generation- this is happening right now.

Your comment on the US & UK trying to "demasculinize" men is hilarious. Male's who are confident, psychologically stable adult humans feel absolutely no threat when working, loving and living with women who do not subscribe to the female subordinate preference of the neo-neanderthal male.

Your choice of wording reveals your own gender insecurity and ignorance.

A world where viagra, beer and violent sports are all advertised as desirable in a four minute span is a world run by out of control 11 year old boys who REALLY need a woman/mother to give them a huge time out.

We need estrogen and salt peter in the water supply of every country. Rape, violence and other infantile male behavior would be obsolete and women could get on about the business of running a peaceful world.

You guys have screwed up this planet enough. Your time is done.

We may be soft on the outside but we aren't soft in the head.

Don't underestimate a woman protecting those she loves. Doubts? Try to pick up the cute little lion cub while mommie's watching. I double dog dare you.

And if you learn anything from that, it's to find a powerfully strong goddess woman and be worthy of her love. She will keep you safe from the big bad Chinese guys doing tai chi in the park.

hey, id rather live in a country with more females than there are males. id love my country to have like a 3:1 female to male ratio.

and having men in the military doesn't matter. its the training. the basic American foot soldier is highly trained, especially when compared to other soldiers around the world. US special forces are the some of worlds most elite foot soldiers. and the US is a persuasive little devil. we could convince many countries to join us and Britain if we had to fight China.

Numbers win battles, that's true. but one cannot rely strictly on brute force and sheer numbers. in order to win wars, one must rely on training and strategy.
