The Vegan Feminist Network, which says its mission is to "eradicate oppression from the Nonhuman Animal rights movement and improve inclusiveness through dialogue and educational resources," has warned women to stop stripping off their clothes in favor of veganism.
The article, titled Dear New Vegan, was written by Corey Lee Wrenn, who teaches Sociology at Colorado State University. In the piece, Ms. Wrenn explains to women what they might experience now that they've decided to stop eating meat or animal products.
"You may start to realize that being vegan is one thing, but being vegan and female-identified is another one altogether," she writes. It continues later, emphasis hers, "If you decide that simply being vegan isn’t enough and that you want to get involved with activism, you are going to come up against more male violence."
If you become an activist, Ms. Wrenn details, you have to be careful of male vegans, as they "control" the movement. And let's face it, the article says, "You might start to think that getting naked for the cause is “liberating.”"
But you need to be careful. Wrenn warns, "It may not be men directly telling you to get naked (women are in on it, too), but the patriarchal norms of the movement have created an environment where women are simply expected to become sex objects “for the animals.”"
If you start wanting to take off your clothes, "woah, stop." You need to "think again," Ms. Wrenn writes. She continues (emphasis hers), "Consider also that only thin, white, cis women are allowed to “empower” themselves for other animals, and that turning men on sexually is not the same as turning men on to veganism. Empirical research shows that facilitating the oppression of women does not challenge the oppression of other animals."
At the end of the piece, Wrenn adds, "P.S. If you are a woman of color, that’s a whole extra set of challenges. As a white woman myself, I can’t speak to the depth of these challenges, but I can tell you that the vegan movement can be a really nasty “color blind” place at times."
Not guilty! She should feel free to get naked anytime.
I would have sex with her.
Do you have any of her naked?
"Cis" is a real term that has been hijacked, just like the term "gender."
"Gender", properly used, describes words.
"Sex" describes people.
It is not an "invented' prefix.
It is a perfectly real and historical prefix that has been hijacked.
I would have to say not guilty.
I once offered a naked PETA protester a hot dog while the TV news crew had cameras rolling.
You would almost think it is impossible to be a ‘fat vegan’ with that kind of diet
BFL.
How else are they supposed to get anyone to pay attention to them?
That brain needs more headboard time.
No doubt...
Recently had to Google this after reading about the SCOTUS gay marriage ruling. Basically, normal men and women born that way. Guess I’ll be banned from existence now.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender
Male vegetable violence, yikes.
“Vegan Femanist” - that’s a double mental disease.
Well, its use in English, as they are using it now, certainly is a recent invention. It’s not as if “cis” has always been a commonly accepted prefix in English and people just didn’t know about it until the whole Bruce Gender fiasco. Academics dug it up and dusted it off specifically for the purpose of obfuscation.
Specializing in:
Animals and Society,
Social Movements,
Gender,
Race,
Social Inequality
Extreme prejudice is shown to blue tranny hippos. This gal is all for giving them the right to vote, in tutus.
Thanks. So, rather than having invented it, the LGBTEIEIO crew perverted it for their own ends.
She looks likes she’s been hitting the tofu hard!
