Why Real Feminists Should Stop Eating Eggs Written by Michelle Kretzer | December 3, 2018
The human egg is tiny, undetectable to the human eye—and yet it’s a powerful, life-giving force that is still polarizing nations. Such an innocuous little ovum, yet it holds such an immense power to divide—and to divide people.
As the battle for control over women’s fertility and reproductive rights wages on, feminists are rising up against abuse and exploitation.
So what does it mean, then, when women take another female’s eggs from her without a thought and readily pay money for her eggs, knowing that she was imprisoned, her reproductive cycle was controlled and manipulated, and she was forced to bear young on someone else’s timetable?
Can we really call ourselves “feminists” if we eat eggs?
Some are quick to dismiss the suffering of female members of other species as unimportant. But let’s recall that human females, too, have been dismissed as not important, valuable, intelligent, or worthy of consideration. The justifications that people give for being unconcerned about chickens’ suffering and denying their basic rights are strikingly similar to the justifications that have been given for disregarding women’s suffering and denying their basic rights, all of which are false.
Chickens are inquisitive, and they can complete complex mental tasks, demonstrate self-control, worry about the future, and pass down cultural knowledge. In some aspects, their cognitive abilities exceed those of cats, dogs, and even primates. Like all animals (including humans), they love their families and value their own lives. They look out for their relatives and the other chickens in their group. They have complex social structures, well-developed communication skills, and distinct personalities, just as we do.

But fertilized eggs are another story entirely.
Kill ‘em all.
i bet even Laz wouldn’t hit that ... the chick, not the chicken ...
My Aldi is at $0.48/dozen.
Wonder about her thoughts on eating sperms?
The same feminazis are ecstatic whenever one of their own murders a baby human, but won’t eat chicken eggs.
They are insane, but they actually believe their insane delusions.
The sugar was $1.29 for a couple weeks...all the baking stuff was on sale, too.
When do we start the well deserved mocking of these idiots?
If a religious order pushed themselves on these clowns like this, they’d be appealing to low-achievement politicians (is there any other kind?) for laws to stop the practice.
I thought this was satire but I know vegans don’t tolerarate eating honey because it exploits worker bees.
At Easter time they let the chicks hatch.
Quail eggs are very good, raw.
Fish eggs too.
Now I’m hungry.

LOL.

It’s not satire, it’s PETA.
I had a delicious omelette this morning. I am so grateful for the existence of non-fertile chicken eggs. I am also very grateful to the hens for their effort to lay them. I am very much in favor of giving hens good living space and good food, so I don’t mind paying extra for pasture-raised, etc. I also understand that those eggs may be more nutritious than the cheapest eggs, because of the better diet.
PETA is messed up on this. Domesticated chickens would go extinct without our participation in their lives. That the benefits go both ways is a blessing worth celebrating.
It wasn’t satire??? My bad.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, that was a joke. “Rages on” pronounced with a lisp gives you “wages on”.
Oh. This isn’t satire?
“How do we realistically deal with people this divorced from reality?”
Because their unshaven underarms smell like rotten eggs???
