"Decreasing testosterone levels among American men are causing them to behave in childish and feminine ways!"
It never rains, it pours, as they say. Just a few hours ago, you were asked, “Are you a surf bitch?”
It was a plaintiff wail, I suppose, about dwindling resources of masculinity.
Now, and thanks to a kind BeachGrit reader who forwarded a link to the Return of Kings website (“a blog for heterosexual, masculine men) there appears another related phenomenon called the “Soy Boy Face.”
“There is no doubt that decreasing testosterone levels among American men are causing them to behave in childish and feminine ways,” writes ROK founder and men’s rights activist Roosh Valizadeh. “This is most clearly displayed in the ‘soy boy face’ pose that combines the feelings of excitement and fear into one faggotized package. Here are 36 pictures that show the soy boy epidemic is here to stay.”
Okay, that’s two of ’em. See the rest here, although I think you get the gist.
Two questions.
Are Leo and Kanoa part of the Soy Boy Face epidemic and therefore examples of the feminisation of men? Or just plain ol bandwagon jumpers?
And, two, it ain’t ok to say “faggotised” is it? Don’t that belong next to retard etc?

love all the brazzos getting sleeved. if you have a tatoo sleeve you are ghey
the local-ism in surfing is an after effect of this. most of da hui are getting old and there are less of the alpha up and comers on north shore to regulate. everything got automated. havent even seen a good shit talk in the water lately. maybe its the flouride?
A great man once said to me “it’s not Gay, its just Gay Style” Surely there is no better style on earth right now, no?
It’s called the soi boi grimace.. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
while these men are all most likely hetero, there’s definitely something going on with this face.. the article mentioned does right to criticize this weird ass phenomena an injustice by using shit words like ‘faggotized’ that immediately dissuades one from warranted criticism of a weird and cringy pose men are doing. In the realm of the duck face pose women often use. Faggotized? no. Reprehensible? Certainly.
Well I wouldn’t say Faggotized and I do see your point. But yes the grimace lives among us all.. I think the memes say it all really. No words needed as such.
Me neither, it was supposed to say “article mentioned does THE right to criticize” ..while we should all poke fun at dudes who employ this pose, calling it ‘faggotized’ is utterly brainless.
HAHAHAAAA ..
They are definitely the ‘soy boy face’ fems I reckon.
Ummmm have you met your little biz partner mate?

one man’s excitement and fear is another man’s boyish charm
harharhar
The visage of an aged altar boy.
This whole epidemic can traced back to wide-necked t-shirts.
the irony…
I’ll say this. 10 years ago I’d go to a spot in Indonesia and you would get a rowdy surf crowd that’d get drunk at night, accidentally break things, trip over goats etc. during a power outage. This time around I went and it’s filled with a bunch of Derek Zoolander types telling you how they are saving the village through their surf trip. What the fuck is going on? Even the salty ex pats with the jacked up teeth and obsession with being fleeced by the locals are gone and are replaced by these canned surfer image personality-less dildos.
Idk man almost everyone I know still gets drunk and does dumb shit. Maybe it was just a weird week in indo.
I really hope so man because I was starting to question myself that I’ve thrown away so much of my life to this sport / lifestyle only to meet humanitarian Derek Zoolanders everywhere I go? Where are the characters? The characters are what make surfing.
“Decreasing testosterone levels among American men are causing them to behave in childish and feminine ways!” kinda interesting that this coincides with the popularity of wave pools, I mean ranches.
Do you think calling them ‘ranches’ is so it makes saying “I just can’t quit you” acceptable?
You got it… “pedo ranch”
Brad Gerlach?
you can’t slate Kanoa and Leo for being “feminized” (as if feminine qualities are a bad thing) and then at the end of the article claim your wokeness by saying it’s not right to say faggotized (just because it falls under a list of unacceptable things to say). Your whole article might be as homophobic and pathetic as using the word faggotized in the first place.
Harden up !
This is BG not empathyisus.com
this.
Reilly going for the click-bait etc means it can get pretty damn wrong here at times. We could soon have an influx of MRAs, if not already here.
hahahaha
Right, so here’s the boring bit again: both soy and linseed (esp the second) contain high levels of plant estrogens which are close enough chemically to have a marked effect on humans, when ingested.
Soy sauce and tofu are fine but lots of other less processed forms of soy are shown to influence the growth of boys in ‘undesirable’ ways. Linseed (like in fancy seeded bread) is a real kicker and can make women who have already undergone menopause, start their periods again.
Mr Return-of-kings is however, a fuckwit.
Mrs astro has been known to get a bit bolshi esp after a couple of bottles of red. And now that I think about it, she has gone a bit grainy on the breads and vegetarian on occasion as well.
This might explain a fair bit. Thanks for that.
How much Linseed do I have to ingest to grow some titties? I am ok with small and perky…Asking for a friend.
Do the ‘speriment. Report back.
OMG, endocrine disruptors so hot right now! (soy boy face)
However I should add that:

I had a vegan acquaintance in college who legit had to stop eating tofu and soy based products cause he was sprouting a pair of breasts, no joke. Talk about insult to injury – not only are you barely conscious due to lack of nutrients, but then you get tits on top of it…
bullshit. you’ve written this comment before.
100% true story bruh! It was ghastly!
When I went Vegan my schlong grew bigger. 100% true story. It was ghastly!!
Veganism is seriously underutilizing this affect in their marketing efforts!
yeah thats bullshit. his friend may have gained some weight and held it in his breasts, but it wasn’t because he was a vegan or eating soy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.go…
Nah, it’s possible, albeit unlikely. Searching yesterday I saw a couple of published cases (only a couple, mind) where other causes were excluded and it went away after withdrawing soy. But it was people who had a staggeringly unbalanced diet, and basically only consumed soy milk – ie their body weight in soy milk every day. Which could be the case of old mate here.
This was it 100%. “Staggeringly unbalanced diet” is a perfect descriptor. And the effect disappeared after withdrawing the soy products.
It was an “aquaintance”, he should know.
Nope.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.go…
Well, dude was growing boobs one way or another, he blamed the soy… you have any other ideas? He sure as shit wasn’t on steroids… arms like toothpicks etc.
If plant estrogens are being recognized as estrogen in humans, why aren’t meat estrogens being recognized as estrogen in humans? 90% of commercial meat is female (e.g. cows, pigs, chicken, etc).
Don’t know, sorry.
P’raps the the meat itself retains less, or cooking denatures it sufficiently.

Maybe it will eventually talk about that point.
Italian women often sport more facial hair than the men who spend more time in front of their own reflection than is healthy and Japanese men are notoriously under hung and hairless so theres that.
come for the laughs. leave with the racism.
“Decreasing testosterone levels among American men are causing them to behave in childish and feminine ways!”
Yeah, but Leo is italian and Kanoa is from Japan (as I was told). So…?
I think it’s a global phenomenon – not just American.
Soy boy is everywhere.
That could be some kind of a strategy. According to Woody Allen,“bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.”
Thank god I’m an old fart.
We only had lezzies, trannies and the odd ghaybo to deal with.
it does not, actually. i get hella confused as to whom i want to go home with and end up missing out as i debate the conundrum in my head.
GMO…posion!
Ohhhhh fuuuuuuuuck thissssss
This is supposed to be anti-depressive, right? I just found out who Roosh Valizadeh is.
What the fuck, Derek. You didn’t even say what fins he uses.
Never fear the loud man in the room.
‘An empty barrel makes the most noise’
Surely being a Men’s Rights Activist is the most purely chicken shit task on Earth right now.
Roosh Valizadeh is Kanoa Igarashi’s sexy pet name for Leo Fioravanti’s waxed smooth undercarriage.
I think kanoa might have warts on his tongue.
But I might be wrong.
i noticed same!
Fill in the blank: Lickity lick on a dirty _________ causes tongue warts.
I’ll have a go at whatever Hillary has been smoking.
Hooo-eee, she crazy, ain’t she. Was 2016 they greatest example of a lose-lose election in modern American history?
I could not turn away for a second. Total junkie.
Wonder when the last time Bill slid one in was?
Recently, I suspect, if past performance is anything to go by.
Hilary ? hmm, Odds are long on the “recently” category.
Could you imagine the fun ol HST woulda had with that one?
I imagine she smoked that soy boy latte, Barack’s shlong.
