Maybe I’m slow or something, but I don’t get how eating meat is masculine.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 51 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Not slow, just lucky to have not encountered such cretins. There is a very non-zero amount of men who believe that 'traditional' masculinity includes avoiding 'feminine' foods, including 'rabbit food' (ie anything green, leafy, or vaguely healthy). The meat-only diet is the natural extension of this line of thinking to the full caveman-stereotype conclusion.

Sounds like insecurity to me.

The stupidest thing is that actual cave people probably couldn't catch meat daily and thus also ate a lot of gathered plants.

could also be the belief that red meat increases testosterone, so they become high t alpha males

If the alternative is scurvy I'd rather just be a dude with a dick that likes vag that's emasculate.

I’ll take all the testosterone pussy you pass up.
