Ning Yin-bin, an associate professor in the Graduate Institute of Philosophy at National Central University, and an expert on gender issues, says that for a long time "society did not encourage men to spend time making themselves up or becoming more attractive to others." The role society assigned to men emphasized accomplishments in the outside world, so it was only legitimate for men to learn how to make a living.
「長期來社會並不鼓勵男生花時間打扮，如何吸引別人」，中央大學性／別研究室副教授甯應斌表示，社會一直賦予男性的角色，在於強調外在成就，他們只有學習維生技巧的正當性。
