Myth # 15 : " But eating meat is sexy / manly / macho ."
As we have evolved ( and continue to evolve ) as a species over time , what is considered attractive or " sexy " or " manly " has changed ( and will continue to change ) as well . I will freely admit that it used to be considered attractive for men to be physically powerful & verbally domineering & arrogantly sexist & even violently abusive – and I will admit as well that it used to be “ sexy ” for women to openly admire the same “ manly ” traits … And I will even admit that this is ( unfortunately ) still the case in more than a few social circles to this day .
And yet if you take a look around , you will also see that our species is beginning to change ; that our species is beginning to judge attractiveness and “ manliness ” and sex appeal in a very different way . Indeed , these days more & more people are finding both men & women attractive who exhibit the boldness to be openly compassionate towards others ; those who are brave enough to open up with heartfelt expressions of intimacy ; those who are courageous enough to boldly defend the innocent and openly care for the downtrodden .
My Friends , what it essentially boils down to is that cruelty is no longer sexy ( and the argument can be made that it actually never was ). In addition , the belief that cruelty is a bellwether for strength & power is dying out as well ... In essence , we humans are waking up to a different way of discerning the attractiveness of others ; a way that looks much less at the form of the other ’ s chest … and much more to the purity of the Heart that resides therein .
