A new study published in the Journal of Consumer Research found that meat-eating men are typically considered more "manly" than vegetarians and vegans. It also found that metaphors associated with meat are more likely to be associated with men, no matter what the language. For instance, the Japanese term for "grass-eater" is used to describe men who are more submissive and feminine.
The study claims, "To the strong, traditional, macho, bicep-flexing, All-American male, red meat is a strong, traditional, macho, bicep-flexing, All-American food. Soy is not. To eat it, they would have to give up a food they saw as strong and powerful like themselves for a food they saw as weak and wimpy." But does the association actually hold any weight? Are meat eaters more manly?
