Anonymous asked: It seems like a common feminist argument against veganism is that its only suitable for upper class people and thus is discriminatory. My answer to this is first that animal products are luxury items and without government support would be so expensive that the industry would fail. Secondly it simply isn't true, veganism is usually less expensive. Third, this doesnt actually show that its okay to eat meat, just that our government supports an unethical industry. What is your answer to this?

Pretty much all of that, yeah. It’s cheaper by default and most people in impoverished areas can afford little to no animal products and are coincidentally eating vegan anyway. Saying that it is only suitable for upper class people is completely bogus because there are many people who are lower or middle class and living vegan. Claiming that it’s only suitable for rich white people is discriminatory in itself because it erases the existence of every vegan that isn’t rich and white, and it’s pretty much saying that they think poor people are incapable of compassion or living ethically.

Also, it isn’t feminist in nature to promote the exploitation and domination of female animal bodies to use for our benefit. I made a rant about the hypocrisies of feminists who aren’t vegan here. Feminism is about promoting equality for all people regardless of gender, race, class, status, etc. and it promotes body autonomy and says that the government has no right to dictate another person’s body. So why are these “feminists” so quick to turn around and do the same to animals? The way that humans currently view and treat animals is essentially exactly the kind of attitude feminism fights against. It’s really the same concept, only applied to non-human animals rather than humans. It’s wrong to treat animals as exploitable commodities for the same reason it’s wrong to treat women that way. Animal products are a result of the denial of body autonomy to many non-humans and animal agriculture condemns animals to a life of subjugation. Saying that another sentient being’s body and life are yours to violate and kill is not at all anything that should be coming out of a feminist’s mouth.

And of course, like you said, just because the government supports it doesn’t mean it’s okay. Just because someone may have no other option in an isolated desperate situation does not suddenly make what they are doing ethical. What they did is still wrong by nature and the action itself isn’t ethical or justifiable. Just like killing a person in self defense doesn’t suddenly making killing people ethical. In some areas of the world it may be more difficult to sustain yourself through veganism but that doesn’t mean we should erase all responsibility of an effort to go vegan and to make vegan food more easily accessible.

Veganism is not as impossible as everyone would like to make it out to be. People just want to claim that it’s an insanely privileged or difficult lifestyle because they don’t want to have to step up and take responsibility for their own actions. In some cases it may be more difficult than others to go vegan, but that doesn’t mean you have an excuse to not even make an effort. It is almost always possible to go vegan if you actually put forth even the slightest bit of effort. Being in a less than ideal situation doesn’t change the fact that veganism is still the only ethical choice, it doesn’t suddenly absolve you from being a decent person and making compassionate choices, and it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t promote veganism because veganism is just simply the right thing to do.

Anonymous asked: How do you feel about the thin ideal? I can not for the fucking life of my just be comfortable in my body. There's always something. I'm always freaking about calories. I really just want to be happy and not have my entire day depend on a scale anymore

I’ve been fat since I was a child and I still look in the mirror everyday and wish I looked differently, but I’m trying my best to change that. I know that train of thinking isn’t really my own, it’s a result of the constant influx of pressure to be smaller from ridiculous beauty standards which come from a patriarchal and oppressive society that views the female body as a type of commodity that exists to please everyone else. And that is fucking bullshit because I’m not here to live up to anybody else’s standards.

I’m learning to be perfectly fine with being fat, because the amount of fat on my body being directly relative to my worth is such an asinine concept. “Fat” is not an insult nor does being fat mean that you can’t be physically beautiful or attractive to others. There’s no such thing as a right or wrong body type. The thin ideal is completely detrimental. Even the “fit” ideal is disgusting, because not everyone is going to be toned and fit when they’re in shape either. Any kind of body or physical ideals are terrible because there are so many different types of bodies and looks to people there’s no way to say that only one is right or attractive. I’m working towards being okay with myself, but I know that it’s hard. You should try to work towards being okay with yourself too. Know that you don’t owe anyone a thin body frame nor do you owe anybody a pretty face. Attractiveness is always relative to the individual. Each person finds different qualities in a person attractive, so how is it even possible to define what beauty is or what an “ideal” body type is? You are not defined by your body, and your body isn’t wrong simply because you don’t weigh a certain amount or fit into a certain size or look a certain way.

I hate this shit. I hate it and I know how difficult it is to be comfortable with yourself and I know that years of being a target of unrealistic expectations of what you and your body should look like isn’t unlearned easily, but once you realize that it’s all a bunch of nonsense and it’s all a result of patriarchal fucked up concepts it may be easier to get past. Start looking into feminism and fat/body positivity, and stop listening to anyone who claims that thin is the only form of beauty or that someone’s body should look a certain way. I hope that you’ll eventually learn how to be okay in your own skin, or at least learn how to tell ridiculous body standards to fuck off.

Anonymous asked: Aye grrrl. I'm in a pickle. I'm in a semi argument with some douche on fb that said there's a difference between bikin pics and underwear pics, and girls should have self respect and not be in there undies. Ya know, same old mysoginist stuff. Anyways, wad hoping you could link me to posst you, or other genious' like yourself have to say on why that mentality is poopie. When I argute I tend to just start throwing insults, and id like som intelligent inspiration because this douche has a daughter.

Um, well, because there’s just not any logical difference between the two? How fucking arbitrary is it to say that the type of material used to make an outfit determines whether or not that person wearing it is being immoral? If women walking around in bikinis doesn’t bother someone, why does it suddenly change simply because it’s of a different kind of clothing? I mean, really, there’s not much to say about this. It’s fucking common sense and I have no idea why people have such a hard time grasping it.

But it doesn’t even matter how much of their body is showing, people need to stop basing their assumptions of a woman’s “morality” based off of her clothing. Women showing skin does not deplete their worth nor does it make them immoral. Women can do whatever the hell they want with their own bodies. Men can walk around shirtless with their nips out and about but women show their stomachs and suddenly they’re disgusting and we have a catastrophe going on? Yeah, how does that work?

Respect is not something you get based off of how many people have seen your body or how much of it you choose to show. Respecting yourself means doing whatever you damn well please so long as it doesn’t harm anyone else. It’s actually disrespectful to yourself to believe that your body is what determines your worth. To allow others to judge you based off of the amount of skin you show or what you’ve done with your body is what’s demeaning to you. Tell your douchefuck friend that unless he wants people to value his daughter on her body and her looks alone, and unless he means to imply that a woman’s personality or her character or her actions towards others mean nothing in defining someone, he needs to shut the fuck up.

Anonymous asked: I asked if you are a feminist because you post photos of yourself 90% nude. Not that there's anything wrong with nudity, but doesn't it bother you're giving people permission to objectify you?

Dear fucking lord, this bullshit again?

Just because someone looks at parts of my body or even if they happen to view my body in a sexual manner does not automatically mean I am objectified. Being sexual is not degrading by default. I’m not giving people permission to objectify me. I am not less of a human being just because I am sexual or because my body isn’t hidden. Acting as if a woman being sexual means she is being degrading to herself and other women is oppressive in nature. Sexuality is a natural thing, and so is my body. If you look at my body and see me as an object, that’s your own fault, and you need to get past that because there is nothing wrong with women choosing to show their bodies. You and others have some seriously oppressive concepts of female sexuality you need to work through if you believe that women being sexual means they are inherently wrong. Women are not required to be modest or to be submissive or to hide themselves or to suppress their sexuality if they don’t want to. Me owning my own sexuality and body does not make me objectified. It means that I am choosing to have control of myself, and I do what I want.

Part of feminism is allowing women the freedom to display their sexuality or their body however they choose to without thinking lesser of them for doing so and without objectifying them. If you choose to dehumanize me simply because I am not ashamed and afraid of my body, that’s your goddamn problem. Not mine.

Anonymous asked: Do you consider yourself a feminist?

No, I just have it on my blog description for shits and giggles.

[of course I’m a feminist, why wouldn’t I be?]

Anonymous asked: hey im the anon that asked if you wanted to save yourself. im also a girl. and i'm sorry. i didn't mean that your body and sex life is all that matters. i'm just asking if you want to save yourself for a guy. one that has also saved himself for you (because not only women should be held to that standard) that seems special to me. i'm sorry :( i really do agree with you even if it doesn't seem like it.

Well, I appreciate your apology, but no one should be held to that standard, regardless of their gender. But you cannot even try to say “oh but men are held to the same sexual standards too!” because we both know that they aren’t. Calling men “sluts” or “whores” is seen as some kind of laughing matter, it’s never used with grave implications like it is with women. Not only that, but the word for someone who is sexually “promiscuous” is only applicable to women. There isn’t even a word in existence that is used specifically in regards to men who’ve had a lot of sex, but we have countless words for women that do so. That alone says wonders about how we treat women for their sexuality. Women’s sexuality has been repressed throughout history whereas every part of our culture actually works to enhance and focus on men’s sexuality as if it’s the only thing of importance. The patriarchy encourages men to use their sexuality at the expense of women and to dominate them, while women are seen as lesser people as soon as they’ve done certain things with their bodies. Women are shamed for enjoying sex or for enjoying their bodies to an exponentially higher degree than men are, there is no doubt about that.

Anyway, no. I don’t want to “save myself” for anybody. The thing is, you keep saying that I should “save myself” for some person. The thing you fail to realize is that my entirety is not my body. My body does not define my actual self. So to say that I’m “saving myself” for someone by not having sex, you’re saying that my entire worth is my body. Whether or not you realize that, that is precisely what that phrase means, and that’s why it needs to be eradicated.

I have so much more to offer someone than my body, and even still, sharing my body with my partner is not any less of an enjoyable or “special” experience simply because I have had other sexual partners in the past or because of my work. My body isn’t ruined or destroyed just because someone else has touched it or looked at it. It’s really archaic to view women as pure and desirable when they are virgins and then disgusting and worthless once they’ve had sexual encounters. We’re not any different after we’ve had sex than we were before. Also, the concept of virignity in and of itself is so stupid. There are so many different ways to have sex between different genders and when exactly is it that a person becomes depleted or no longer a “virgin”? It’s ridiculous to think that anyone should be able to draw some arbitrary line between what sexual acts make you worthy and what makes you useless.

I’m also not even straight, so assuming that I should be “saving myself” for a man and a man only erases the fact that I may have partners in the future who are not men. Acting as if women should “save themselves” for men or vice versa erases everything outside of heterosexuality and it erases people who don’t identify as either a man or a woman, and that’s ridiculous because their sexuality is just as valid as anyone else’s.

i-have-forgiven-jesus asked: check out 'my life as a feminista' as her url (obvs no spaces) she is absolutely horrified at me saying that speciesism is on the same scale as any other form of discrimination. feminists who love milk absolutely confuse me on many levels. i can understand why at first they don't make the link, but after being informed of it they should at least TRY...

I actually stumbled across her blog before, saw her headline about loving dairy and being a feminist, and was completely repulsed because those are such absolute contradictions to each other. While I am frustrated that people sometimes don’t understand the connection between dairy and female oppression to no fault of their own, once they’re exposed to it and they throw some shit in your face like “SORRY I DON’T GIVE A FUCK I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE JUICY CHEESEBURGERS,” that’s pretty similar to the absurdity of when someone says some bullshit like “SORRY I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WOMEN/OTHER PEOPLE, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE BEING SEXIST/RACIST AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS LOL.” They’re the same adamant mindset about being set in their own selfish ways, despite how their actions obviously harm others.

Sexism, racism, and speciesism are all obviously different forms of oppression and not completely identical to each other because they manifest in different ways, but they are all identical in severity and they all deserve just as much attention as the other. Ignoring one or viewing one as less important than the other only makes room for inequality to continue. They are all stemmed from the same mindset — believing that one group is lesser than you due to something they had no control of, and oppressing them because you see them as below you. Each form of oppression tries to dismiss the victim’s suffering as unimportant, while actively ignoring the rights and basic wants of their victims for the sake of the oppressor’s benefit.

Feminists who are aware of how cows and other animals are exploited, raped, and brutally abused for the dairy/meat industries and claim they just don’t give a fuck because they love the products that come from these animals’ suffering are some of the most hypocritical people ever. It’s one thing if you’re just a massive piece of shit who doesn’t care about anyone, but I’m always so taken aback by people who claim to be for equality and making changes in their lives to work toward that. They claim to want to call people out for their injustices and get people to analyze the way that their lifestyles impact others, but then when they are finally called out to do the same thing, they act just like every other ignorant douche bag who tries to counter anti-sexism or anti-racism rhetoric with the same excuses of self interest and apathy. It’s mindnumbingly frustrating.

Feminists: if you aren’t looking into the links between animal oppression and human oppression, working towards including animal rights in your struggle for equality, and going vegan — you’re doing it wrong.

Anonymous asked: but don't you want to save yourself for someone? don't you want it to be special? like have them be the only one that sees you like that? and also, don't you get disgusted by a bunch of horny manwhore guys that ARE demeaning women that are watching you and treating you like an object?

Save myself for somebody? My self is not my fucking body. I am so much more than my body and my sex life. There you go. That is the problem. You think that my only worth is my body. You think a woman is her body and that’s it. This is fucking ridiculous. I am the exact same person as I was before I started doing this, just as someone who has had sex is the same person they were before. Having sex or doing something sexual doesn’t take away from your worth as a person. There is no meter of your worth that slowly depletes the more sex you’ve had. This is just such a fucking ridiculous and archaic concept I can’t even wrap my head around it. People are not defined by the amount of sex they have had, and if someone thinks that I am less special or less awesome or less of a person because I’ve done this, then they’re a mindless piece of shit who doesn’t deserve me anyways. Because like I said, I am not my body. I am not defined by the number of people who have seen me naked or the amount of people I’ve had sex with.

They aren’t treating me like an object. Most of them actually have an ongoing relationship with me and talk to me and I have a general idea of who they are. If someone starts to be rude or degrading to me, I put them in their place and then ban them. I don’t allow them to talk to me that way or treat me with disrespect. I have complete control over who gets to see me and who is allowed to contact me. The second someone tries to make me feel objectified or degraded, they’re gone.

Horny manwhores? Shut the fuck up. First off, “whore” is not an insult. To anyone, male or female or neither. Someone wanting to have sex with multiple people is not a bad person. It means they like sex. That’s it, and that’s their right. There is nothing inherently wrong about that at all. If a man wants to watch porn or have sex with someone or watch somebody masturbate, that’s his prerogative and he’s not disgusting for doing that either. Just as women are not disgusting for choosing to have as many sex partners as they like and doing whatever they’d like to do with themselves.

Seriously, it’s probably a really difficult concept for you to comprehend, but you need to grasp that our bodies and our sexualities don’t define us. The amount of sex or lack thereof that we have had does not make us any less or more worthy of love and respect than anybody else. What I choose to do with myself doesn’t change who I am, nor does it mean I am of lesser worth than I was before I chose to do something of a sexual nature. Please, get that through your head and stop oppressing women with your nonsensical ideas of self worth.

Anonymous asked: you masturbate on cam? how are you a feminist at all then? that's so demeaning and disgusting to women.

Do you have any idea what you’re even saying? What is degrading about a woman owning her own sexuality and choosing to do things with her own body? How is that disgusting? Almost everyone masturbates, and some people find it enjoyable to watch others. I like masturbating. I like being watched. It’s also a way for me to support myself, by exchanging something I choose to do for money. What’s demeaning or disgusting about that? Because I’m not being ashamed of my own sexuality or my body? Why do you feel the need to tell other women what they should or should not be doing with their own bodies and sex lives? So fucking what if that’s what I choose to do? It’s none of your goddamn business in the first place. It has absolutely no impact on you or anyone else.

No, demeaning is when you and others think that it is your right to tell women how they should act or how they should express themselves sexually. Women have been shamed into repressing their sexuality for so long and we’ve been taught to feel disgusted or diminished when we choose to enjoy our own bodies and sex lives. I refuse to accept that. Demeaning is judging a woman for what she chooses to do with her own body. What’s disgusting is that people like you think that a woman should be judged for what she does sexually, as if that defines someone or makes them a lesser person.

I’m a feminist because I believe that women should no longer have their sexuality repressed. If a woman wants to be open about her sexuality, she absolutely has the right to do so without being shamed for that, myself included. I’m a feminist because fighting for women to have control over their own bodies and sexualities without being made to feel guilty about their choices is incredibly important in the struggle for women’s rights. Allowing others to shame us for what we choose to do is what makes us powerless. Acting as if there is one specific way that a woman should behave, sexually or otherwise, and treating any woman who steps out of bounds of what society deems acceptable as if she is suddenly filth or a horrible person — that is what is demeaning to women. Your oppressive attitude is fucking disgusting.

How the hell are you going to try to talk to me about what’s demeaning to women when you’re sitting here behind the protection of anonymity while trying to guilt trip me into feeling bad all because I have control of my own body and don’t allow patriarchal and misogynistic concepts to prevent me from doing what I want to do with myself? Seriously, get the fuck out of here with that pseudo-equality bullshit. If you don’t want to be open with your sexuality or your body, that’s fine. If you aren’t even a sexual person, that’s wonderful. You have the right to do whatever you want to do with yourself (or don’t want to do). But you can sit the fuck down if you think that you’re entitled to make other women feel guilty because they choose to do work of a sexual nature or express themselves differently than you do. Fuck off.

"U no for a feminist u shure do show an awful lot of ur tits… ya thats rly empowering!!"

Every fucking woman who’s messaged me on OkCupid, ever.

You know, since when does me doing what I want with my own body mean I’m degrading myself? Why is my body even any of your concern to begin with? Repressing women for their sexuality and body autonomy is the root of misogyny and it’s been used against us since the start of humankind. Do we seriously need to fuel misogyny amongst each other?

Feminism means having control of your own body and being able to show however much or however little of it you want, without it defining who you are. Get the fuck out of my face with your internalized misogyny, please.

Anonymous asked: People ask me how I'm a vegan and therefore not okay with eating eggs yet am pro-choice. I tell them they are not the same thing. But could you please tell me all the reasons why?

When you eat eggs, you are taking something from someone else without their consent. Animal products come from the domination of another being’s body. It’s not that we oppose eating eggs because we worry about the eggs (how fucking ludicrous would that be?) — it’s because eggs came from a sentient animal who had no say in what humans did to her body. An abortion involves terminating a pregnancy within your own body, and it is a personal choice because it affects you (the pregnant person) and your life and no one else’s.

I’ll quote one of my older posts for further explanation:

The fetus has no say in anything because a fetus is not sentient and is not even born yet. Therefore it does not exist as a human being, and has no rights because at its current stage, it is nothing but a mere cyst-like blob living within someone’s uterus. A fetus is not capable of experiencing emotions, it is not capable of feeling pain during almost all stages of the pregnancy, it is not anywhere near on the same level as an already born, sentient, feeling animal who has a life they are already experiencing with a broad spectrum of emotions and perceptions. (As a side note, in the case of late term abortions where it is questionable whether or not the fetus feels pain, in these cases it’s a matter of life or death for the pregnant person or a feeling of necessity, and since the fetus is inhabiting the pregnant person’s body and could potentially be a threat to them, it is a matter of self-defense if they do choose to have an abortion and it is therefore justifiable. Just as it would be okay to defend yourself against someone who was either attacking you or otherwise harming you, late-term abortions are also a matter of defending oneself.)

The choice of food is exempted from someone’s “right to choose” because eating meat or animal products infringes on someone else’s freedom and bodily autonomy. An abortion is the elimination of a group of cells growing inside of a pregnant person’s body. Choosing to terminate the life of something that is growing inside of you and is essentially leeching off of you, requiring you to provide your body as a vessel to sustain it, is not at all the same as going out of your way to control someone else’s body, someone else’s life, and killing someone else who is completely separate from you for something that is entirely unnecessary. Animals farmed for food and used for production are not a threat to any person and the killing and exploitation of them is not permissible.

A pregnant person who cannot or does not want to be pregnant has absolutely no obligation to remain pregnant if they don’t want to be. It is an act of self-defense or self-preservation. Exploiting, killing, and eating animals is anything but that. In order to breed and confine animals, someone must go out of their way to collect and then enslave these animals, holding them against their will. Someone who exploits animals deliberately captures and abuses the bodies and lives of so many animals. This is not at all what abortion is. You cannot even attempt to compare the two.

In the end, it all comes back to the protection of the same right: bodily autonomy. A human being has no right to violate, use, and manipulate a non-human’s body. The government (or any other person) has no right to violate someone’s rights to their own body by telling them they must remain pregnant under any circumstances. It’s no different than condemning a cow to a life of having her body dictated by the dairy and/or meat industry. Meat-eaters and anti-choicers both disregard the rights of the pregnant people and animals whose lives are the ones being directly impacted by the things they support.

Veganism is not about “preserving life.” Why do so many of you think this? A plant is alive. Bacteria is alive. Cells are alive. Vegans obviously have no opposition to the ending of any of these lives. It has nothing to do with merely life. It’s about sentient, emotional beings who are capable of complex thought and can experience fear, pain, anxiety, suffering, happiness, and so on. None of those qualities apply to fetuses. But you know who those qualities do apply to? Pregnant people and non-human animals.

So shut the fuck up, because in the case of both a pregnant person and/or an animal: it is not your life, not your body, and therefore not your choice.”

sarahjoblow asked: I just read through your faq and I love your stand point on many things and couldn't agree more with all the issues you answered. I wanted to know, would you call your self an eco-feminist? I recently found a article in my schools database about it and It was slightly hard to understand because It was an academic journal and the language is sometimes difficult. If so do you mind sharing other sources about veganism correlating to feminism and how it's directly related?

Hi. Wow, first off thanks for taking the time to read all of my crazy asks and my answers in response to them. It’s nice to hear that someone agrees with most of what I post instead of wanting to bombard my ask box with flawed counterarguments.

Anyway, this is actually the first time I’ve heard the term “eco-feminist.” Well, I want to say I’ve heard it mentioned maybe once or twice, but I can’t say that I know anything about it. If you have any sources on eco-feminism, I’d love to look into them. As far as sources for correlation between feminism and veganism, I’m kind of lacking in that department, too. I’d really like to read works from someone else who understands how the two are so directly related. I’ve heard of the book “The Sexual Politics of Meat” by Carol J. Adams, but I haven’t read it and I have heard some criticisms about it. Apparently it goes into how patriarchal concepts and meat-eating are parallel to each other. Like I said though, I haven’t read it myself, so I’m not sure if it’s good or not.

I don’t know if you’ve heard of Sistah Vegan or if you’ve seen this video already, but it’s astounding: http://quoilecanard.tumblr.com/post/20127262984/intersections-black-female-slave-vivisection

It’s only about 20 minutes long but she’s great and definitely worth the watch if you haven’t seen it before. She has some other great videos as well pertaining to veganism. In that video she discusses the foundation of Western gynecology and how the founder would use enslaved women of color for vivisection purposes to provide gynecological care for white women, and she really makes some amazing connections with how animal rights are tied to feminism.

Thanks for the question though! It’s wonderful to find other like-minded feminists and vegans out there. :)

Anonymous asked: Your just hypocrite supporting the equality of man and woman just in one the fun parts. And because man made the idea of conscription doesn't make it our problem. Man build the world so you can't use it because we made it? But that is no problem. Feminism and veganism are both toothless movenments that can't reach anything. My grandfather once said: Do you want to die for your ideals? If not it doesn't mean enough to you. Do you want to die for improving the rights of animals and woman?

Fun parts? What “fun parts” of gender oppression do you think cis men are missing out on? Oh, you mean like when cis men try to force everyone else into allowing them to dictate what they do with their bodies? You want in on that fun? Please, I’d be honored to get a say in what oppressive misogynists get to do with their bodies and lives. I’d love to give you and every other dickhead a taste of their own medicine. But no, in all seriousness, I want everyone to have the same rights and treatment. I don’t want gender stereotypes or standards or other inequities to affect anyone, even cis men. You should probably stop allowing your thoughts to be fueled by the patriarchy in assuming that every single feminist is only aiming to destroy men and deprive them of their rights simply because we want to be on your level. Seriously, do some fucking research. That’s not what feminism is about. See: bell hooks.

No, man did not build the world. All man has built so far is his fucking anthropocentric ego. Nature created the world, actually, and it existed far before humans or men did. Sorry, try again.

I’ve already told you that feminsim doesn’t aim to give women a one-up above men. It doesn’t mean that we want to have 10,000 months off of work while we force cis men to do all the labor in the world for us. I promise you, feminism is about equality for everyone, regardless of gender or lack thereof or any other kind of identity or status. Veganism also just wants to accomplish equality for everyone, it’s essentially an extension of feminism except it includes sentient beings outside of humans. And if you really think that equality is a “toothless movement that can’t reach anything,” then everything you think is irrelevant anyways. I mean, who am I kidding? You’re an anon who doesn’t understand why someone who’s just gone through pregnancy and given birth deserves more time off of work than someone who had sex and ejaculated into someone’s vagina 9 months prior.

Your grandfather was probably a sexist, racist scumbag if he raised a moron like you, so I don’t really care what he thinks. But yes, I’d risk my life to save an animal or other person in need.

Anonymous asked: And there is one thing if forget to say is: if there should be a case of abortion man and woman should both agree to get the child killed. Why? Because it's the child of both of them so the decision should be taken by both. (except for rape ofcourse) And woman in my country have more rights when it comes down to a divorces with childeren so man and woman should be treaten equal again. If you want to be equal on the fun parts you have to become equal on the negative parts too.

No children are killed in the process of abortion, first and foremost. Maybe the reason why you have such a ridiculous stance on this is because you don’t even know what an abortion is.

If a man is the one with the uterus, and he is the one who is pregnant — then yes, it should be his say and his say alone. No woman or person of any gender should get a say in what he chooses to do with his body and whether or not he terminates his pregnancy.

Otherwise, NO. NO NO NO NO NO. Only the pregnant woman or pregnant person should get a say in their own abortion. It is THEIR body, not their partner’s. It is not a child, it is an embryo, and it is not inside of their partner’s body. It’s not going to leech off of their partner’s body for the next 9 months and it is not going to drain their partner’s mind and cause immense stress on their partner. It’s not going to cost their partner a fortune in medical bills, doctor’s visits, physical trauma, emotional trauma, and eventual delivery costs should they follow through with the pregnancy. If it is inside of your body, it is your decision. If it’s not inside of your body, it is not your decision.

Oh, I forgot to say this: go fuck yourself.

Anonymous asked: I'm feminist too. I think that woman should be treated equally to men. So if you are Feminist you also should support: conscription for women and man (yes, being man isn't always fun) , give women the same amount of free days guys get after they getting a baby (in my country that is about 1 day), work the same amount as your guy/husband no part time job (in my country 75% of the working women has a parttime job). I support equality but if we are going to equal we are getting equal all the way.

Oh my god, honestly? Why couldn’t you guys have picked a better day to send me the utmost ridiculous bullshit you could possibly think of? Whatever, I guess you can serve as a distraction.

First off: no one should be drafted. Not women, not men, not anyone. Feminism does not encompass forcibly enlisting people in the military regardless of gender. Also, sidenote: feminism didn’t create conscription, that was patriarchy because the patriarchy is what says women are weak and only men are big and strong~. So the problem is still on your side.

Secondly, no one who has just DELIVERED A FUCKING CHILD should get a one day leave from work. You clearly do not have a uterus, and I would guess you have probably never had contact with anyone who has one, either. If you had, you would know that pregnancy followed by delivery of a baby is not a fucking overnight recovery. It’s a 9 month long, strenuous, mentally and physically depleting process that ends in a usually hours/sometimes days long demanding labor which requires weeks, if not months, to physically recover from. That’s if labor went according to plan. Want to try telling someone who had complications or invasive surgery as part of their delivery that they should just jump back up onto their feet the next day and head to work? Yeah, no. Fuck off.

Women should not have to “work the same as their men.” 1) Not every woman “has” a man. Not every woman wants one. Some women don’t even have any interest in men whatsoever. 2) Women should not be held up to the same gender obligations and standards as men. The point is there shouldn’t be any fucking standards in the first place, there should just be freedom. Women and other people should work as little or as much as they fucking want to. And if they do want to work, everyone should get paid equally for equal work regardless of gender, race, class, etc. Part time (or a lack of) jobs do not discredit someone from having basic rights to equality.

You don’t support equality. You support misogyny and stupid fucking gender stereotypes. Go fuck yourself.
