Vivid examples of this defeminization protocol are found in Papua New Guinea. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), a kind of gender neutrality in hairstyle and dress, based on the defeminization of female appearance and its approximation to male stereotypes, became the socialist ideal (Evans, 1995: Zheng, 1997). Defeminization of females, as evidenced by a decreased estrogen:androgen ratio of in vitro steroid hormone synthesis, was also documented. |
