Yes, “soy boy” describes my acquaintance perfectly.
I've discussed this topic with others in the past, and it certainly seems as if something has taken much of the masculine out of modern males.
I've read quite a few articles that make me think it is the advent and acceptance of plastics to carry water and contain food.
Apparently some of the chemicals which leach out of plastic containers and conduits resemble human female hormones. It may very well be that plastics are slowly feminizing the world.
Not a good thing.
