This is soooo not news (most of the guys I met outside of school in Japan 3 years ago were herbivore men), but more people definitely need to hear about it, and I'm really glad people are recognizing the trend/movement. In my experience, though, a lot of the guys tend to get a little to carried away with the stereotypes within the herbivore culture which sort of negates what they're trying to do, sadly.

But Japan in general is making a lot of interesting progress in terms of gender and sexual identification. Like I said, a lot of the guys I met outside of school were "herbivore," but most females I met outside of school were "carnivore" (though I'm sure me being part of the LGBT scene there sort of contributed to that). A lot of what I studied and experienced while in Japan was pretty disheartening in terms of gender roles, but I think the younger generations are really trying to make a difference, which is great to see and sort of vaguely be a part of.

Also sorry if this is long and rambley, I'm maybe a little wasted. :o
