The soy thing has to be one of the funniest delusions I've ever seen.

People convincing themselves that all liberals are vegans, all vegans eat a diet primarily of soy, and that soy has compounds similar to estrogen, so therefore all liberal men are feminized by their diets and are therefore weak (because being a woman is bad).

The number of weird things you have to believe out of insecurity to get to that conclusion are quite embarrassing. It's quite a self-report.

You can also reverse the argument into mockery, accusing conservative women of being too masculine because they don't eat enough soy, then bragging about how feminine soy-loving liberal women are.

The hilarious part is that the phytoestrogen in soy and other plants isn't compatible with our biology. High qualities studies hava failed to find an effect.

Meanwhile the actual mammalian estrogen that is in animal products does get absorbed and effect our hormones.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
