You know, it is a stereotype, but it may only be as baseless as nerdy scientists or slick salesmen. Stereotypes would tell us vegetarians tend to be:[ul][li]Hippies[/li][li]Women[/li]Wusses[/ul]These are three mutually independent categories, I think, but they all tend to be seen as less violent as well. But this is not causal. Becoming vegetarian doesn’t make your more likely to be a woman. So I wouldn’t imagine that it’s a case of diet reducing aggression.
So totally baseless then.
Hmm… well, the group FUCT pretty nuts, considering their founder believes that we should only eat consenting adults… and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of a lot of violence coming from them if they ever become a significant presence…
Okay, Blake, what if I said “male scientist”? Is that a baseless stereotype?
Well, soy does contain phytoestrogens.
Of course it is. Unless you can show us a basis for such a generic description if male scientists.
