      A fascinating examination of the philosophy that has made veganism a feminine pursuit while meat-eating became essentially manlyhttps://theconversation.com/how-steak-became-manly-and-salads-became-feminine-124147?utm_medium=amptwitter&utm_source=twitter …

      So in other words the division has nothing to do with any difference in nutritional requirements between men and women (heme iron , b vitamins) . It’s entirely a cultural construct (probably by men on belhalf of women in fact) @puddleg

      The divergence was absolutely about cultural differences - if these played to specific micronutrient requirements, it seems to have been an accident

      Im saying menstruating women need more heme iron inside them. And pregnant women need b vitamins . The tendencies mentioned here are counter to this . I hold that men have deliberately engineered less meat for women to women’s detriment .

      Nahhh that's unlikely. I doubt there was enough knowledge of micronutrients in the 1920s for that to be the case

      They wouldn’t have to have a knowledge of micronutrients . Don’t be facetious .

      Eh? I'm not - you're arguing that men intentionally denied women vital nutrients through veganism starting in the early 1900s, I'm saying it's unlikely that any of this had any relation to nutrition at all because our understanding is much more recent than that

      "Men have deliberately engineered less meat for women" - How can it be deliberate engineering if there was no knowledge of the cause effect relationship

      Because meat is a tasty nutritious food that most humans enjoy eating ?

      Right, so nothing whatsoever to do with nutrition. Glad we agree

          Nothing at all in its motivation . But everything in its effects in the modern day in my opinion .

          So nothing deliberate or engineered about it
