Gender Differences in Attitudes to Vegans/Vegetarians and Their Food Preferences, and Their Implications for Promoting Sustainable Dietary Patterns–A Systematic Review (2020, background): “Men also explicitly report more positive attitudes towards meat consumption [17].”
Gender differences in vegetarian identity: How men and women construe meatless dieting (2020, background): “Several scholars have highlighted that meat is deeply associated with masculinity (Adams, 1990; Rogers, 2008; Rozin, Hormes, Faith, & Wansink, 2012; Rothgerber, 2012; Ruby & Heine, 2011; Sobal, 2005; Stibbe, 2004).”
From mostly vegetarian to fully vegetarian: Meat avoidance and the expression of social identity (2020, background): “Meat consumption is associated with masculinity, and meat abstention with femininity (Browarnik, 2012; Mycek, 2018; Rosenfeld, 2018; Rothgerber, 2012; Ruby & Heine, 2011; Sobal, 2005).”
Vegan men and hybrid masculinity (2018, background): “Thus, men who abstain from the practice of consuming meat are perceived as rejecting a crucial aspect of hegemonic masculine behaviour and their masculine identities are challenged (Rogers, 2008; Rothgerber, 2013; Potts & Parry, 2010).”
The Psychology of Eating Animals (2014, background): “At a personal level, meat consumption is tied to male identity, and its consumption makes some males feel like “real men” (Rothgerber, 2013).”
It ain’t easy eating greens: Evidence of bias toward vegetarians and vegans from both source and target (2017, background): “female) vegetarians/ vegans will be viewed more negatively by omnivores (Studies 1–2) and report experiencing more bias (Study 3) given that meat consumption is generally associated with masculinity (Adams, 1990; Gelfer, 2013; Kramer, 2011) and “feeling manly” (Rothgerber, 2013).”
