    It will likely have the opposite effect. Dairy contains actual mammalian estrogens and substituting it with soy can probably yield better health outcomes. But soy is just one among many dairy alternatives, so people won't necessarily go for soy milk.

    I think the Japanese male works a ridiculous amount of hours so free time is at a premium. Why spend it looking for a wife ?

    given the traditional nature of Japan I’d guess a lot of men are expected to marry, so that may be causing them to rebel against the norm.

    Also, maybe porn and online gaming sustain them.

    What the women of the same age doing and how does it relate?
     
  3. "Soy boy" isn't really about diet, it's more about personality. I'm a vegan but if someone is behaving in a flaccid/weak manner I will call them "soy" as a joke. I'm not a soy boy myself, but more like soy gang.

    And of course there is the milk counter-argument, already mentioned in this thread. Nobody makes fun of people for drinking milk or beer, which have massively higher estrogen/phyto-estrogen levels. I think one of the main reasons soy is stigmatized is because of right-wing rhetoric and meat industry propaganda. The soy industry is huge and it is in direct competition with grazing land, so it's no surprise that dairy/meat farmers hate soy.

    I wouldn't let memes and stereotypes persuade you as to what is healthy or not.

    Japan is a different issue.

    Japan has a lot of "Hikikokimoris" (or something like that), basically shut-ins, who do echi or hentai (anime porn), or are addicted to other things while being too distracted from social life.

    The overwork culture in Japan doesnt help the situation either, I hoped Japan could bounce out of this, but they aint doing it anytime soon, a word of advice keep away from fanservy anime shows like MHA, case it´s disgusting how it´s time schedule is being aired.
