What's the reasoning behind the "soyboy" insult?

[GetToTheTop]

[Necrius]

Not sure if it's cause or effect, but men who prefer soy over meat are less manly and more prone to cuckoldry, being hen-pecked and generally more submissive towards degenerate activities like feminazism, black racism and alphabet people.

[Edge_Master]

it's not so much a comment on people who consume excessive amounts of soy products though that is one portion of the insult.

It's also used to insult men whom have little manly features, strength, less facial hair growth or facial hair growth that grows sparsely.

However there was a study done on a guy with type 1 diabetes where soy consumption led to erectile dysfunction and lowered sex drive but that would have been due to the diabetes so i guess if you have type 1 diabetes it may be best to avoid soy.

There were studies done on rats that showed consumption of soy during the rats pregnancy/developing ages that it stunted sexual organ development but rats and humans are kinda different lol.


I don't think there's evidence that says normal levels of soy consumption is harmful, of course when things get excessive with everything that's where issues arise with anything.

Though I would say the main insult people mean when they call you a soyboy is someone lacking menly qualities like strength, sparse facial hair, etc.

But on the flip side high levels of testosterone can cause baldness in middle age men, higher chances of getting testicular cancer i think it was or just cancer in general so it's not saying having high levels of testosterone is a good thing either.

As always it's balancing ♥♥♥♥ out that's difficult.

This here is the definition of a soyboy:

the reasoning doesn't matter, people just make it up to fit the image.

Male Pattern Baldness is primarily due to increased DHT-sensitivity of your hair follicles, which is genetic AFAIK. Of course you need testosterone which can then be converted to DHT in the first place. But it's usually not the testosterone itself causing hair loss. Nor will your test-levels make that significant of a difference. It's an old myth.

These days there are even peoples that believe eating too many Impossible burger will have men grow boobs because of the heavy concentration of soy products ... what a shame.

Soybeans contain isoflavones that's similar to estrogen called phytoestrogen and acts very much the same way in the human body so eating vast amounts of soy and soy-based products can lead to unwanted effects but there is no proven link to cancers like breast cancer.

Soybeans can actually help women who are going through menopause.

phytoestrogen does the opposite of what estrogen does, in fact it leads to more testosterone

Soybeans naturally contain relatively high levels of chemicals called "phytoestrogens", which are called that because they're structurally related to mammalian estrogens. There has been some concern that these compounds might have the effect of artificially "feminizing" humans by activating our estrogen receptors. So far, studies have failed to show any convincing evidence that this actually happens, but that hasn't stopped some subcultures from connecting it to vegetarian/vegan and other stereotypes as part of the idea of a man who has been emasculated by modern society.

pretty much this

phytoestrogen comes from plants as far as i know

actually doesn't milk have good ol' mammalian estrogen for obvious reasons? i'll have to look that up

Todd Howard you come up with the best questions.

What's the reasoning behind the "soyboy" insult?

On a basic level it's simply a way to effeminate another person. To infer that the other person is not manly, is overly sensitive ir someone who's weak or shows emotions It's also an insult that those on the right tend to label all men on the left as being. Soy has chemicals inside it which can replicate the effects of estrogen and studies suggest that it lower testosterone levels. Consuming high levels of this can obviously effect everything from a child's development to interfering with regulating hormones in an adult body. Now why did that "word" of all words come to be associated with one political ideology's males?

And to answer that you'll have to learn about the human brain and how things work. Studies suggest that the brain of a liberal and conservative are different. Conservatives tend to have larger amygdala and liberals tend to have a larger anterior cingulated cortex and smaller amygdalas. So what does that mean for you or me? The amygdala is the part of the brain the connects the rest of the brain, it's the part of the brain responsible for the "fight or flight" response, that is to say that's not just a fear response but also used in making every decision from facial recognition as well as being good with social interaction. Recognizing threats is a big one here. The amygdalacan actually increase or shrink in size with time.

People who are born with autism tend to have smaller amygdala's which explains why many suffer from impaired social interactions.

The anterior cingulated cortex is the "emotional" part of the brain. It's deeper then that. For instance the anterior cingulated cortex is activated when the perception of pain happens. It handles the emotional memory, and regulation. This is very possibly why Left wing people are often called overly sensitive. People with brain damage in this area typically have behavior problems.

Now here's where it becomes tricky. Several theories suggest different things.

1. Some studies suggest that the larger amygdala are suggestive of an Alpha male personality. If you think of humans beings a little more then advance cavemen. Some cavemen would be drawn to foraging nuts, berries, roots-IE vegetarians/vegans (and soy being a non-animal product), whereas some cavemen who are the "hunters" would be eating meat.

2. Another theory is that the large amygdala causes the conservative to be more utilitarian, whereas the emotional part of the brain tells the liberal to be more "hedonistic." Many of the hedonistic type foods, which would include soy are food that lower testosterone

3. Another study suggests that the larger amygdala causes people who are conservative to be more individualistic and the emotional part of the brain causes people to "group up" which makes sense because liberals tend to be collectivists. Part of that theory suggests that liberals tend to fall into "fads" easier since they're collectivists and veganism/vegetarian was just another fad.

4. One study suggests that the emotional part of the brain in linked with environmentalism since most of modern environmentalism is PURE emotions and not very utilitarian. So, whether it's the dangers of cow-farts, the prospect of eating healthier (vegetarian/veganism) or something along those lines being a vegetarian would be the "emotional" thing to do, and thus eating soy would be the emotional thing to do.

Now onto a discussion of testosterone. It's the hormones that gives you those muscles, that makes you big and strong. Hulk smash! Eating meat can boost your testosterone level and it contain zinc which is vital in maintaining testosterone levels.

So you have conservatives eating foods that boost testosterone levels. And liberals tending to eat meats the lower testosterone levels and in the case of things like soy-actually mimicking the effects of estrogen. Soy-boy again means overly emotional, weak (emotional, collectivist(strength in numbers) is a fairly accurate description even if it has more negative connotations, other then when you take into effect brain chemistry of the matter.

It's not necessarily weak to be emotional it can be a strength, but being highly emotional is a classical feminine trait IE effeminate.

According to Urban Dictionary, the term soy boy means: “Slang used to describe males who completely and utterly lack all necessary masculine qualities. This pathetic state is usually achieved by an over-indulgence of emasculating products and/or ideologies.

Even for him this is pretty risible stuff. But there's a plethora of right wing pre-prepared "scientific studies" for the purpose of copying and pasting to intellectually checkmate libs. He could hardly hide his glee at Todd laying the groundwork to facilitate this rambling alt right treatise on neuroanatomy.

Basically soyboy is part of the evolutionary lexicon of lolichan. And a direct replacement for 2016's "cuck".
