Pretty sure I've actually seen this image used against the manosphere people more than anything, with the Andrew Tate types being depicted as Soyjaks.

The masculine thing is to treat women with respect and equality, rather than attempting to lord over them and pretend we (men) are somehow better or importanter. The latter is a sign of being insecure, not masculine.

Soyjaks

Which is another harmful stereotype around the manly meat-eater vs. weak 'soyboy' tropes (which also has a history in anti-Asian racism)

Technically yes, but the irony is that soyjak is usually used to depict exactly the sort of people who'd perpertrate the soyboy trope, rather than people who'd fit the trope.
