Demographics. It may not be the case anymore but in the early days of the internet it was a majority American males. That trope has stuck around.
And statistically, vegans are roughly twice as likely to be women.
It’s not just the Internet. I’m vegetarian and my wife isn’t, but servers often assume the veg meal is hers when the food is up
Yeah, no, I get the same when I order the fish and she orders a steak, when I order an ale and she orders a stout. Apparently not manly enough
Since you’ve made the distinction, what’s an ale for you?
In America, at least when I worked in the industry, stout was part of the larger category of “ale”, which compromised any and all “warm” fermenting beer styles. Basically “ale” was synonymous with “not lager” and not any specific variety.
In this particular instance, it means “light colored beer”. Too many people still associate the lighter color with a lighter alcohol, lighter flavored beer that’s not manly enough. Meanwhile a stout is dark, so must be very manly.
Technically an ale is top fermented yeast, typically at a warmer temperature, and of course a stout is one such style. An ale can be any color, any strength, any of a large set of styles
For me personally, it is most likely an IPA, but it really could be anything. Ales in my fridge right now include neipa, dipa, and esb, but I also have a German style lager and a boch
Because even now 2/3rds of vegans are women?
And the number used to be MUCH HIGHER.
So it’s natural assumption to make.
I’m neither female nor American. Nobody will guess my identity on the internet.
That’s easy. Real men only eat meat. If you don’t, your either a female or a soyboy. That’s why my diet is 80% meat and 20% cheese - my anal cavity may be more plugged up than a bear mid-hibernation, and I may die of a coronary before I’m 40 years old, but at least I can say I died a fucking man. An alpha male if you will. Now excuse me, I’ve got a 2lb steak and half a Gouda wheel to to eat so that I can take my 3 hour shit before going to bed. No body said that being a real manly man was easy.
I’d never encountered this (though I’m not a vegan) but it does seem like that the majority of vegans are women, so I can kind of see it:
and here I am struggling to find single monogamous vegan women in my area
