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."
But I think it works. Most of them have bodies that make me not want to eat meat, or anything else, for a long time.
She's obviously a mile high with all that nonsensical babbling.
I think of "cis" as a prefix, meaning "next to" or "close to". If you take an elite celebrity famous only for being famous, like a Kardashian, that person is a member of the Elite. Someone close to a Kardashian, such as Bruce Jenner, would be cis-Elite. That can be shortened to "cis-E" or just "sissy".
That can be shortened to “cis-E” or just “sissy”.
Thank You for the explanation.
cis= born a gender, as compared to transgender
AKA, cisnormal to refer to the assumption that everyone is a boy or a girl, versus having a female brain in a male body
Not that it interests me in vegetarianism, though.
The core is rotten. I cannot find hardcore marxists/commies/socialist/big brother types attractive.
Cis/trans isomerism (geometric isomerism, configurational isomerism) is a term used in organic chemistry to refer to the stereoisomerism engendered in the relative orientation of functional groups within a molecule.
People are born with a sex.
Words have gender.
DANG!
What about #17?
wtf!! Let the guys be the judge of this. Bring on those naked vegan school teachers and cue up Van Halen hot for the teacher
This slacko-demic looks cute but her mind belongs to Karl Marx
the vegan....speaks like a “non human animal” to use her terminology
That’s right!
Women should strip off their clothes.................................just because!
It's a sciencey thing from the Latin
What has happened is the gender bender community has a adopted the false etymology of "cis"= "not trans".
There are a few remarks we guys made to each other once we reached puberty.....that I will not repeat in mixed company..suffice it to say that this young lady’s Marxism would not be an issue at all....might even pretend to listen to her diatribe at least at the very beginning

Hijacked is more like it. Doublespeak anyone? Thanks for the great link Oztrich Boy.
