He may have overestimated the appeal of stripping to vegans, or of vegan cuisine to striptease fans; an earlier vegan restaurant he ran was poorly received." Duh. Diablo is a dipshit for thinking his club would fly in a city where "Best Titty Bar Steaks in Town!" makes an alternormal weekly cover and where news of a murdered 19-year-old prostitute elicits jokes about how great Portland's sex industry is despite bludgeoned-to-death women's bodies turning up occasionally. From the NYT article:

"Don't hurt the animals." So not only are women not human, we are not even animals. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/27/fashion/27vegan.html You’ll be thrilled to see there is more attention for the vegan pimps in this NYT article, complete with salacious photos for the dudely pleasure.

As a second wave feminist who has lived in Portland, I can relate. I can't say I understand PDX after only 8 months there, but it is very white male hipster save the trees misogynist. The two weeklies are covered with porn, they love Dan Savage, the nauseating Portland Mercury has beautiful almost naked women on the cover - but never men, beautiful bikini-wearing women being almost raped by a man on the cover, and I'm guessing that there are women who think this is cool. Ariel Gore lives in Portland, and although I love Hip Mama, I do not like her politics. If you are over 40 in Portland, you are invisible. Which means that if you are second wave, you are invisible. What a grreat blog!

He is an animal rights abolitionist and feminist who strongly opposes the animal welfare movement as being ineffective. He wrote an article here unfavorably comparing the animal welfare movement with postmodern feminism. One of his major points is that post-modern feminism and animal welfare are not social justice movements because they both allow oppressors to feel more comfortable while commodifying women and animals respectively. Animal rights abolitionism and radical feminism are, however, true social justice movements because they instead work to eradicate oppression.

It would depend on the alternative. Corporate soy strikes me as better than corporate meat. The same goes for footwear. In any case, these little things aren't going to end oppression. For that we need revolution. Indicting vegans for buying things isn’t always valid, chandelle. It would depend on the alternative. Corporate soy strikes me as better than corporate meat.
