I'm a vegetarian, but what drove me to FDS a month ago is a vegan man who was so sexist towards me. He said men are natural leaders who are being deprived of their potential, men have built civilization, women have limited fertility, and in comparison, his "hips will work just fine past 40." 🤮
So color me surprised when I just came across more vegan men degrading women: (This video is 5 or so years old -- well within modern times and therefore subject to "modern" standards. They knew what they were doing when making this film.)
They legit don't even see how ridiculous and 'illogical' it is to compare HUMAN WOMEN to animals, and rape of women to eating meat.
Furthermore, some of this video shows women being raped as bejng equivalent to animal slaughtering videos. But the irony is that we already have completely normalised violent rapist porn, so their comparison makes no sense. I.e. Rape is illegal, unlike eating animal products, but violence towards women is still heavily encouraged for men in society. These vegan men must have known such porn and practices exist and are quite popular, to the point where even women (and I to a certain extent before acceptijg FDS) are manipulated into being turned on by and fantasizing about it.
Tbh, though, I was shocked by the women i the comments section who were praising this video and the comparison they were making. But, perhaps this is just an extension of my previous point, where women are manipulated into thinking we're less important than ANIMALS.
I'm vegan and refuse to date a non-vegan but honestly you're so right. Theres like zero overlap between two moral worldviews (feminism and veganism) that mean a lot to me and I have no idea why. Even vegan women are massive sex posi pick-mes usually. You'd think the greater empathy and moral integrity that's required to be a vegan would make someone more likely to take women's oppression seriously, but apparently not. So many of them are coomers. It's funny too because there is SO much overlap between women's oppression and animal oppression (especially dairy cows). People who deny that are ironically also more likely to be prejudiced towards women: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1368430209347725

My commitment to feminism is actually what prompted me to go vegan. There's no way I could go on and on about bodily autonomy and reproductive autonomy while also funding the systemic rape of dairy cows. It's make me look hilariously hypocritical.
Maybe it's because veganism tends to attract trendy left leaning people (who often never stay vegan).
Misogyny is common among men in general. Not a vegan-specific problem.
The message of this video isn't rape = animal slaughter.
The video is a criticism of common justifications for eating animals (ex. "it's natural" "God" "it's legal" etc.). When the same justifications are used for an obvious wrong (rape), it's obvious how weak those justifications are.
I know a guy who cries about rabbits being not cuddled, but then watches violent rape porn. Like, authentic tears about rabbits, but human woman being brutalized turns him on. He even assaulted a few women I know, but his bros are off limits, because everything is a real being worthy of respect EXCEPT HUMAN WOMEN. If I were a rabbit, or a bird, would you not want to rape me?
I could never be vegan, because I place humans above animals because of intelligence. I think we should revolutionize the meat markets to where most animals live on free range farms and live longer lives. I'm convinced their absolute degradation of the woman has more to do with self-preservation as dominant rather than even wanting us sexually. All men could masturbate and never hurt another woman again, and have basically the same orgasm. But they wont.
