  • Have you ever tried to not eat in front of people ever? Turns out it’s pretty hard to do. Sometimes, if you’re nice to people, you get invited to go out to eat to a place. Often those places have no vegan options, and you have to explain why you can’t eat there so people don’t just think you’re blowing them off constantly. We don’t just go around telling everyone we’re vegan like all the hate memes like to say.

    Most vegans I’ve met, myself included, don’t pick fights with people about veganism. We just live by example. It’d be cool if more people went vegan, but arguing with people about doing it doesn’t help. Doing that is like trying to push religion on people or make people experience empathy. It isn’t easy to go vegan (getting easier at least). Food is tied to a lot of people’s culture who have a hard time relearning how to cook/eat and make generational recipes or comfort foods they’ve always eaten.


  • Did you also get the part about how people with stereotypical high fem gender expression who are often described as “ditzy” by a misogynistic society can be intelligent even though they like “girly” things?

    That wanting to dress a certain way and naturally having a certain personality or way of speaking doesn’t define who you are or what you can do or how good at your job you are?

    That in a male dominated field you should be able to express yourself even though the industry wants you to conform and “tone it down” and “not be so emotional” and also smile less but not too much less or else you’re “bitchy”? That diversity is good and helps bring in new ideas/perspectives?
