They’re not, as far as I’m concerned. Plus they’re not practical. Think what would happen if, say, I worked at McDonald’s, and everytime someone asked for the french fries (…they have beef in them), I said they couldn’t have them because eating non-vegan french fries was against my morals. Now imagine that if the customer couldn’t get these french...

Setting aside the obvious homophobia this entails, just think if it were reversed. If women were banned from wearing “men’s clothing”; i.e. pants, etc. Not cool, right? Same with this.

I’m not much good at small talk either. I didn’t think about the fact that this was mostly a “problem” because I’m a girl.

The post immediately below which decries the phenomenon of declaring domestic violence a preexisting condition — without ever hinting at the fact that denying health care based on preexisting conditions is just as morally wrong and, indeed, misogynistic.
No: it’s just an outrage that healthy women would be denied health care based on this gender-based violence. Not an...

Labels To Describe People & Their Eating Habits →
This is rather useful. At the same time, I have to use this to point out that calling yourself a vegetarian when you’re a meat-reducer, flexitarian, part-time vegetarian, pescatarian, etc. is obnoxious and moreover dishonest. Plus it’s kind of a useless concept, anyway. How do you justify being, say, a pescatarian? “I feel bad for how most animals suffer, but I don’t...
