I haven't read the article but have life experience. Tofu is the stereotypical vegetarian/vegan food in the USA. People with closed minds and a patriarchal view of masculinity tend to be strongly against eating tofu because meat eating is an indicator of masculinity to them. Willingness to consider tofu as an acceptable food then correlates to willingness to not blindly embrace the patriarchal views. (Edit for wording)
You mean that some people in the USA don't eat tofu not because it tastes/smells awful to them, but because of some kind of bigotry? Interesting TIL moment.
not only in the usa unfortunately ;-;
