How might norms related to masculinity affect the diets of men and women and what effects might this have upon physical health?
What will be an ideal response?
Men and masculinity are associated with red meat and alcohol, while women and femininity are associated with fruits, vegetables, and fish. Thus, eating healthy and low fat foods may be threatening to men’s masculinity if they view it as more feminine. Moreover, eating unhealthy food may function as a risk-taking strategy to signal men’s masculinity. Combined these norms may increase men’s susceptibility to health risks such as cardiovascular disease.
