I enjoyed this video. I was always dismayed by some of the things that PETA would put up about animal rights...because on one hand I was happy about the animal rights message....but at the same time, I was dismayed about the way women were used in commercial/advertisement.

Thankyou for bringing this to light.

One should never use one form of violence -

sexism, to address another form of

violence - speciesism.

Sexism kills, just look all forms of

discrimination kill.

Veganism is by definition a lifestyle that excludes the use of animals for any purpose (respect of animal rights)... adopting such lifestyle excludes, notably, the consumption of animals for food... it is scientificly proven that such diet (a plant-based diet) is healthier than a meat-based diet. "Being sexy and having better sex" has everything to do with being healthy.

"Being sexy and having better sex" is a side effect of veganism.

@TheSuperAstro I don't think you recognize sexism when you see it which is often the case for many in society, and that is why sexism is so insidious & dangerous. Sexism kills, just as racism kills and speciesism kills. I would suggest you look into definitions of sexism. ONe should never use one form of violence - sexism, to address another form of violence - speciesism

I disagree with:

"Veganism is about animal rights, not about being sexy or having better sex... characteristics we know have little to do with being vegan or not."

It's a wonderful connection you make regarding female animal exploitation (for milk, eggs, etc.). As a vegan for over 10 years, the connection to "female exploitation" hadn't even crossed my mind, but it does bring to the surface something that vegetarians (milk and egg eating) need to address for themselves.

Thanks for the video.

Well... i wish I had more time before rushing out the door to my patient's home, as I would have done a video response... You thank us for listening and I thank You for sharing !

Very interesting and I very much agree with the perspective your share with the others who are in agreement with this view. 1 World of Love...

I liked this essay... It combines two subjects that I care for a lot... Animals are not property, Women are not property, all life is beautiful and all life is priceless...thanks

Thank you for posting this. PETA's sexism is a big reason why I no longer support them.

I am all for feminism though I am a guy. I hold women have always been oppressed trough the different eras of history, and it should just be finished. Women are totally equal to men in terms of their rights in my mind.
