It doesn't matter if it's natural
Posted July 20, 2021 by spinningintellect in Vegan

What matters is the pain and the fear. What matters is that animals don't want to die.

Disease and starvation are "natural", yet carnists don't go out of their way to defend these things. It's not seen as a "personal choice" to willfully kill other humans. You're not somehow more righteous for staying silent about abuse in the name of tolerance.

Just annoyed at carnist rhetoric and need to vent. How is this not obvious to everyone?

If he was really sorry, he'd apologize to Janet Reno's family instead of groveling to a bunch of drag queens who were never the butt of the joke

Exactly. To be honest, I do think he was making fun of men in dresses as well as ugly women. I don't believe he harbours a special hatred towards women that he's acting on. I just don't think he really cares. Like most people, he believes on a deep, semi-conscious level, that men deserve more kindness, compassion and attention than men and are "more human." It isn't malice-based on his part, at least I don't think so. He just doesn't care enough about women as complete human beings for it to matter to him if it doesn't affect men he cares about and whose feelings he cares about.

Sorry

Men in dresses will never NOT be ridiculous and funny. Especially your pervy friend

And I don’t see the insult to women, though I do see your intent to do so

Putting on women’s clothing just highlights how uncouth, ungraceful, un-everything that men are as compared to women. Even Janet Reno, who they joked looked like a man, looked professional and capable in a dress

It’s why women look good in mens or women’s clothing

In Tina Fey's memoir, she talked about how SNL's tendency to do this took big parts away from the few female cast members they used to have. You could have a female cast member do an actually accurate and funny impression, and she'd lose out to the guy not even putting effort into it.

The thing is, I think it could be funny sometimes. But a lot of the time it just felt so sexist. And that's not even what he cares about.

I don't know, Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle seem to be doing just fine...

Would it be gauche to call him a “beta cuck”?

AmareldysSeptember 28, 2024

I’d say it would be RIGHT not gauche.
