    The whole idea of assigning gender to foods or diets is bizarre to me… a salad is feminine while steak is masculine? What about vegetables on a burger? Or a salad with steak in it?

      I see it a lot on tinder when women say in their profile they beed a real man that eats meat. How absolutely bizzare. There is bothing manly about buying meat. No one goes hunting

        I love bringing up the hunting aspect when people use the “but my ancestors ate meat” line. Like yeah they ate it after tracking it for a week with the strongest members of their community and killing it in a life or death struggle that tested the limits of their endurance. And even then they ate it sparingly so as to not have to go on another life threatening hunt for as long as possible. Not exactly the same as skulling bacon wrapped baconator burgers every night while binging Netflix from your couch.

            There’s nothing more masculine than taking a big, burly, hairy beast of a man… then bending him over and fucking the shit out of him.

              It’s true. Fucking a dude that’s bigger than you is the straightest thing you can do. You have: asserted dominance, fucked, and demonstrated your virility to the women.

        I don’t know if you’re being serious but what does that have to do with anything? In Italian the word for “beard” is feminine, I can assure you nobody links it with femininity in any way. Just because the neutral gender doesn’t exist that doesn’t mean everything is actually gendered.
