It is pretty funny that eating meat is still seen as a masculine thing. Pff what? Tofu? No i buy my meat like a real man in this other isle, next to the tofu.
It's funny because eating flesh and blood is a "woman" thing in most species. Ticks, mosquitoes, fleas, flies - all the ones biting you are female looking for a blood meal. Arguably, in ancient times men gathering meat was probably to provide for the women in their lives. Even roosters will do this for their hens - bring them bugs or peck at food on the ground to show the hen where it is without eating it.
That all being said, the gender dichotomy is stupid and we are a bit more sophisticated than all that.
The answer is simple: females in most species have a larger nutritional debt from reproduction. Making sure your partner eats is just good survival tactics.
that sounds made up
You really shouldn't go by just gut instinct when it comes to scientific evidence, just saying...
It's not. You should develop some science literacy if you think that sounds made up and don't know how to verify it yourself. Ofc, I will say every species is a little different and not every single mosquito species even bites humans for example. But as a general rule, yeah, I'm right.
For the roosters - this is a well recorded and observed behavior you can watch on TT or wherever. Not all roos do it, but it's pretty common nonetheless with thousands of videos observing this: https://youtu.be/ynhzfbZ0oGk?si=vhEtGxP5VI33sB-L
You forget the scientific study that came to the conclusion that blood sucking and meat eating is a female thing.
it is exclusivly YOU that made the connection. You said MOST species, you mentioned like a handfull. You had this gothic romantic idea, and you chose these papers to fit you idea.
you should develop some sience literacy.
you should not make up stuff, period.

By biomass, yes most animal species do have females who engage in blood meals https://www.visualcapitalist.com/all-the-biomass-of-earth-in-one-graphic/
thats easy because biomass alone of insects is like, really big.
you said most species, and talked like you were some bigshot scientist and give me this feminist lore, and now you backtrack to alter your initial statement.
Where am I backtracking?
no, i won't play this game with you.
It’s funny because eating flesh and blood is a “woman” thing in most species.
It is. Pregnancy cravings?
Okay, think about this - women are growing an entire new entity. This entity is made of flesh. The easiest way to get components to build this flesh entity is other flesh entities.
Eating flesh and blood is a woman thing in most species, yes, we agree. Glad you came around.
