Toxic masculinity has reared its ugly head again in a new poll, which showed almost three quarters of men would choose to die a whole decade earlier over giving up meat.

The Australian survey was commissioned by No Meat May, a group that encourages people to give up meat for a month to combat climate change, global food scarcity, health problems and animal cruelty.

The poll, which included 1,000 respondents, found that almost half (47 per cent) of all participants thought of meat as a “masculine undertaking”, and almost three quarters (73 per cent) of men surveyed said they would rather die 10 years early than give up eating steaks and burgers.

Although a vast majority of respondents (81 per cent) said they cared about the climate crisis, 79 per cent said they were not willing to give up meat to combat it.

No Meat May co-founder Ryan Alexander told Green Queen: “Our survey alarmingly shows that Australian men are either not aware of any of these facts, don’t believe them, or simply don’t care.”

“We reckon it’s time to step up and reject outdated and damaging gender stereotypes around food,” he added.

The bizarre and toxic relationship between meat and masculinity has been going on for decades.

One 2018 study found that “men routinely incorporate red meat to preempt the negative emotional states caused by threats to masculinity”, and when Burger King released its plant-based Impossible Whopper last year, men even panicked about the soy protein burger causing them to spontaneously grow breasts.

A meat-free lifestyle is not the only way to save the planet that men think of as “feminine”.

In 2019, researchers found that straight men perceive using a reusable shopping bag as a “feminine” act, and would avoid recycling for fear of “looking gay”.

Further research published in the Journal of Consumer Research in 2016 also showed that men will become even less environmentally friendly if their masculinity is “threatened”.

When researchers showed men a “pink gift card with a floral design” and asked them to buy a lamp, backpack, and batteries, they chose products that were far worse for the environment than those presented with a plain gift card.

Researchers said: “Men may shun eco-friendly behaviour because of what it conveys about their masculinity.

“It’s not that men don’t care about the environment. But they also tend to want to feel macho, and they worry that eco-friendly behaviors might brand them as feminine.”
 
Not a single assertion in this article is sourced. This is not a coincidence. I can pretty much guarantee most women said they'd rather die than go vegan too, but that doesn't further the "meat equals masculinity equals bad" narrative so we're not allowed to see that data.

But then again I'm mocking pinknews for being garbage journalism, which is like mocking a septic tank for smelling bad. So I guess the joke's on me.
 
Enjoying food is toxic masculinity now? Do people seriously want a generation of men blowing their brains out because they get criticized for the simple acts of eating and breathing?

Last time I checked, everyone rational likes a good steak regardless of gender. I certainly do. Steak and burgers are fucking delicious.
 
Even the normies know the don't eat meat to save the planet narrative doesn't add up. Time to give up and make a new plan kikes interdimensional reptilian illuminati.

You say "do they want a generation of men blowing their brains out because they get criticized for the simple acts of eating and breathing" like you don't, for whatever reason, think this is exactly why they write these articles.

Also lol at surveying only men then acting like that proves anything about men's reactions vs women's reactions.

Wow, people running our society REALLY don't like men having testosterone. I'm sure a country already lacking in whole foods and basic nutrition will be doing better once we hook everyone on processed vegan garbage and bugs.
 
What if I am transmasculine and I like to swallow the meat because I identify as a total faggot?

What then, Pink News?

So assuming there is 100% overlap here and all of those who see meat as inherently masculine would immediately flip their stance on eating meat, over a quarter still don't give a fuck.
Now understanding that the previous assumptions are bullshit, I think it's safe to say the dumbass journo is a dumbass journo.
 
We need to talk about Ryan's unhealthy for the planet meat intake both orally and boofing
 
Another way to rewrite the article is 1/4 of soyboys exist and humanity collapses in 5 years.
 
Literally every woman I know eats meat, so eating meat being a toxically masculine act is news to me.
What if I am transmasculine and I like to swallow the meat because I identify as a total faggot?

What then, Pink News?
"That's cissexist since it implies that all men have penises."
 
I have the perfect item for the moralizing assholes that want to nag other to live per thier eco friendly standards.

Do you know by using an exit bag, you will cut your carbon footprint to near zero?

It's only masculine unless you hunt the meat yourself (a fat neckbeard eating Big Mac's at Mickey D's isn't "masculine" - processed meat is for pussies). A guy who can't go more than 30 minutes without crying over his missing Big Mac is an example of toxic effeminacy at its worst. A stupid answer to a poll also doesn't mean anyone would in practice (if someone on death row was offered a pardon as long as he quit eating meat, 99% of them would take that offer in a heartbeat).

Also, a tough-as-nails SpecOps dude who spends a few years as a POW in a North Korean prison and has to survive on gruel and rice a much more exemplar than some fat dude who drowns his virginity in Minecraft and stale Big Macs.

Personal experiences is that I could give up meat (I prefer dairy such as cheddar cheese to meat for a lot of reasons, such as not requiring the prep work that meat does) - but going straight vegan (having to completely give up dairy and saturated fat) would be hard as hell - when I've had vegan meals, I would substitute it with olive oil, which is a nice dressing, but it didn't sate the craving for cheese and dairy.

Flashback to the time a group of vegans tried to protest meat-eating during a rodeo in ARGENTINA.

They received the proper response.


(Cherry on top was when they all were invited to some tv show to talk about it,and one of the vegans said she cared about all living beings and the cowboy told her "you're pro abortion!!")

That's because animal protein and the vitamins and minerals in animal-based fats such as dairy and eggs (never mind the actual meat!) are absolutely vital to human health. Its why vegans all look like shit because they're just barely above tofu-eating lions for what they're doing to their bodies with their diet.
