"Soy boy" is a slang insult for a man regarded as weak, effeminate, or lacking traditionally masculine traits. It emerged in the early 2010s in online communities, especially forums and social media, combining "soy" (from the stereotype that soy consumption increases estrogen and reduces masculinity) with "boy" to imply immaturity or weakness. The term is strongly derogatory and used mainly in political, cultural, or online contexts to mock men perceived as submissive, overly sensitive, or feminized. It is never neutral and is intended to belittle or provoke.
