'''Soyboy''' (also spelled '''soy boy, soi-boi,''' or other variants) is a term used by [[Masculinist|masculinists]] to disparage someone for not being masculine enough. The use of the word "soy" in this sense implies that the man in question has possibly been feminized by consuming a lot of phytoestrogens from soy products. This stereotype partly derives from the fact that soy contains compounds that weakly mimic the effects of estrogen, known as isoflavones combined with observations of the effeminate physical traits of certain men who consume soy products. | '''Soyboy''' (also spelled '''soy boy, soi-boi,''' or other variants) is a term used by [[Masculinist|masculinists]] to disparage someone for not being masculine enough.

This is the opposite of the stereotype of "real men eat meat". Food products containing soy are popular among vegetarians and vegans as soy is high in protein and has a much higher protein quality than most plant foods. This impression of plant eating men as less masculine is possibly a carryover of deep social history where the most proficient hunters brought home the game and had higher ranking of choice not only of the meat available to the tribe, but of females. Hunting required strength and prowess. The male gatherers of a tribe in most cultures were seen as low class, often the elderly and infirm.{{citation needed}} Moreover, the most successful hunters could typically best attract women and had more offspring, even in the most egalitarian hunter-gatherers like the Ache and the Sharanahua.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> | This is the opposite of the stereotype of "real men eat meat".
