    It's not just limited to food. People get very mad whenever women (especially teenage girls) enjoy something or "invade" a male dominated hobby.

      Western society absolutely haaaates teenage girls. The energy that almost every piece of media gives teenage girls by default is the same energy that SNL gives to Donald Trump. Just a thing veneer of comedy barely masking utter contempt

        The "haha boys quirky, girls lame" meme reflects this attitude pretty succinctly and I genuinely hate that meme format.

        A bunch of hobbies that were originally pioneered by and are still supported by women, too. Brewing, coding, chess

        That's definitely one aspect of it but also people also see women doing a "male" hobby as "not genuine". There definitely is a subset of men who want their hobby to be a "no girls allowed" zone so they see any women doing it as invasive.

      and you have the unintentionally funny grown men who pride themselves on being too sophisticated to get the appeal of music and media targetted at teenage girls
