Why are some foods and drinks seen as masculine or feminine?

Question

This is a great article: https://www.tastecooking.com/women-arent-ruining-food/?ref=PRH17564EA86B&utm;_source=Crown&utm;_medium=Advertising&utm;_campaign=Taste_Keywee&kwp;_0=580257&kwp;_4=2066175&kwp;_1=863231
The tl;dr version is that in society’s eyes, when men like something it elevates it. When women like something, it is seen as frivolous and trivialized.
Cupcakes, pumpkin spice lattes, rosé wine, and chocolate are some examples.
But why? Food and drinks are gender neutral. Why are some items seen as masculine or feminine when our bodies process them all the same way on a biochemical level?

Answer

This is a legit thing and it’s so bizarre. That’s why Coke originally came out with Coke Zero— because Diet Coke was seen as too feminine for men to drink.

Answer

This is so true. I know so many girls who drink vodka sodas and margaritas with their girlfriends and as soon as they’re out with guys they’re choking down scotch or cheap beer. It sucks. I will never apologize for loving rosé.

Answer

Weird, I was just thinking about this recently. We went to a friends house for a bbq the other week and they had all kinds of alcohol set out. I’m not a big fan of sweets. I poured myself a glass of whiskey and threw a few ice cubes in...while my SO poured himself some sort of bubbly wine. We were all sitting around and his friends started making fun of him for his drink choice and saying “your wife is manlier than you”. He politely told them to fuck off...and eventually they all quit choking down their “manly” drinks and switched to the fruity cocktails and wine 😂

Answer

anything that is favored mostly by women gets trivialized.
