"Men's views on tofu directly reflect their views on women," a woman says in a video posted to TikTok that has gained nearly 3 million views, adding when men respond to it with "intense disgust," it's tied to fragile masculinity and fear of their place in society.

    I love both tofu and women, but that sounds like some hot weapons grade pseudoscience garbage. People need to stop treating social correlates like they're fundamental biological determinates.

    I think this advise is mostly for people on the dating scene not mental health professionals. You can't exactly ask someone "are you a bigoted sociopath" when you match on Tinder, but you can look for red flags.

    This just happens to be a potentially innocent sounding screening question that answers quickly if the person you're talking with is likely an asshole.

    Also this is not about whether or not someone likes tofu, but about how aggressively they react to the question

    "The texture is a little weird to me so I prefer chicken" is very different from "BLEH I HATE IT"

    Also, if they mention estrogen, that's a pretty easy "this guy listens to too much Joe Rogan" flag.
