The image of men and women are constructed by media

At17 is a team debut in 2002, the duo, with their singing, playing and creative ability as a selling point. They broke the existing framework and derived gender norms of the socially constructed constraints. They rare to be able to break through stereotypes of female roles and gender relations, showing the different gender identity and subjectivity, but they are less welcome of men.

Lyrics detailed description the scene of two girls kissing. Although it clear to point out that they are "practicing" how to kiss with boys, but "silent for a few seconds , then burst out laughing"which shows the ambiguous feelings among girls, perhaps some of the girls had experienced and dare professed feeling. "

This song was broken the love between men and women that has always been described. It switched to describe on the love between female and female. There is a definite breakthrough. However, this expression is not being appreciated by the society, so they had to express subtle and with hints.

The Society has established the imagination of girl group, which is dominated by a male viewpoint. The main selling point is their beauty or even sexy, clothing, focusing album packaging, love news and advertising endorsement. Theme of songs are inseparable to young girls feeling.

In contrast, Western countries in expressing love for the same sex would be more direct, nerver beat around the bush. But I like this song because the lyrics are really interesting. It can be regarded as "begun to taste the forbidden fruit of lace," walk in the curious to the stage of try who is feeling a bit shy and special. "The taste of her cherry chapstick" directly showing the feeling after kissing a girl. She did not resist, even like it. In the West, this bold and direct expressions, obviously not the same with us. They do not bother to distinguish between male or female, love is love, this blurs the boundaries of gender stereotypes.
