'''Soyboy''' is a term used by many [[sexual trad-con]]s, [[alt-right]]ers and other types of masculinists to disparage someone for not being masculine enough. The use of the word "soy" is sort of a joke and implies that the man in question is as feminine as someone who chooses to eat a lot of estrogen in soy products over more masculine protein sources. Not all incels use this term or agree with underlying assumptions about masculinity/feminity. | '''Soyboy''' is a term used by many [[sexual trad-con]]s, [[alt-right]]ers and other types of masculinists to disparage someone for not being masculine enough.

The stereotypical image of a soyboy in many forums is the image of a man with a beard and glasses opening his mouth and eyes wide-open and in a, "surprise!", face during pictures. This meme came from casual analysis of the facial expressions of male feminist video gamers and college student types, and was deemed to be a sign of submissiveness and femininity. | The stereotypical image of a soyboy in many forums is the image of a man with a beard and glasses opening his mouth and eyes wide-open and in a, "surprise!", face during pictures.
