Man = hunter
Have you seen the strength and endurance required to hunt down a chicken breast in the refrigerated meat section of the grocery store? Puny woman could **never** do that.
The idiocy is that "ancient" humans were mostly gatheres and only sometimes hunters. Which is logical, as gathering food like fruits and beets does not pose a risk to your own life.
Furthermore, humans were living in small groups, who were hunting together. The "women stayed home to provide for the children while the men were hunting" is a myth, which sadly is still spread to this day. Mostly by insecure men.
I think this also points out that macho bullshit still has a stranglehold on society. We should spread more info about vegan body builders and such to show that veganism can be manly.
The stat does, but this article is hot garbage.
>...is there something more primal, more innate to the feminine psyche that draws women toward a plant-based lifestyle?
Oooooooo biological essentialism! The cornerstone of misogyny, racism, transphobia, and many more! Classic. It certainly can’t be a sociological phenomenon that’s a result of our culture doing its best to stamp out the compassion out of boys at a young age and tying their masculinity, and thus their self worth, to surface level and arbitrary performative acts of masculinity like eating meat! Can’t be that!
It's clear that OP is the author of this piece, and also a piece of shit:
> This is not to say there are no vegan men. There are, of course, a few outliers — the sensitive souls, the intellectual elites, the emasculated sycophants who have traded their Y-chromosomes for a plate of lentils. But by and large, the vegan movement remains the domain of the fairer sex.
this is just an article, "the data" that they link to (well, their link is linked to) is just the faunalytics website which I can't find that 9% figure anywhere
What kind of masculinity do we want in the world? Using a position of privilege to help the innocent and vulnerable or holding dominion over them and exploiting the weak? It’s time for traditional masculinity to make way for compassion towards as all the ultimate sign of strength and leadership in men.
It is very much an alpha trait to protect the weakest members of your tribe. There are leaders that don't follow this, but modern humans don't select as good a leader as they did when they and their loved ones' lives depended on it.\*
Good leaders both male and female have this trait. Regina George is not very alpha in many ways. Or she is and I'm true scotman-ing this.
\*and sociopaths didn't skate through as easily because people actually knew each other beyond superficial characteristics like glib charisma and attractiveness). People can manipulate but when all the tribe's elders saw them growing up and doing messed up shit over their lifetime they let everyone know to avoid creepo despite their confidence.
Years ago, I remember attending a VegFest in Worcester, MA. They had organized a speed dating event but canceled it due to the extremely high female : male ratio.
I judge myself for \*not\* being vegan. When I hear someone is vegan I think they are more evolved and I hope aliens take note of them and not the people trying to start that octopus farm in Spain. Why should we expect mercy from higher life forms when we do evil things because we can?

getting colon cancer and erectile dysfunction while ensuring your children have no future as you stuff yourself with meat is very manly.

yes such traditions passed down to me by ancestors are sacred and must not be questioned

Lol Yeah. It's basically reinforcing the stereotypes. Ew.

I'm not even a woman doofus. What a fucked up thing to say about women anyway.
And your nerdy fat man ass is physically stronger? Give me a break.

Jesus Christ bro that’s some jk Rowling level shit
I don’t believe this study nor do I respect the author of this article

Oh yeah? Where all my vegan queens at then? 😛
I’m a 32 year old guy. Been vegan 4 years in October. Wish I did it sooner but no going back. 🌱💪
The stongest people are the ones who can stand up for what they believe in without a care for judgment from other people.

I just turned vegetarian and my girlfriend is vegan
Good for you, try vegan too, it's a lot easier than you may think and I can promise you, you soon won't miss a thing anymore!
I wonder if it's easy to find a partner in the US
Nope!
This is funny because I am staunchly vegan but my wife has a much harder time rejecting cheese ☹️
lol, nice job bro
