Too far PETA-too far

Dear PETA
Why do you hate women?

I have been a vegetarian for most of my life, but I have been a human woman for all of it. And as a human and woman I think you are a terrible terrible organization.
I don’t eat meat. I don’t wear fur or leather. Wool makes me itch. I don’t go hunting or fishing (or anything that involves going outside). Pet shows seem super lame. I never had a pet and I don’t really like them, so euthanasia will never be an issue for me. I aspire to be as uninvolved with animals as possible. I think people who eat meat but would never hunt are hypocrites, and I cannot stand people who won’t eat something that reminds them of the animal it used to be. So you probably get me.

But I don’t get you. You hate women. I would think you would want women on your side. Women make up a sizable percentage of the vegetarian community. Women do most of the shopping. PETA is run by women. And women are people too. So maybe it’s not the best outreach tactic every to dehumanize them. Your ‘I’d rather go naked’ campaign unnecessarily sexualized. The cage motif is degrading. And your comments about blubber are stupid- being a vegetarian does not make you thin. But your new website, OMFG. You may have a history of degrading people in the name of animal rights, but it least it (sort of) made sense. Porn has nothing to do with people (except animal porn). In addition to being a terrible organization-you have completely lost sight of what you are trying to achieve. And you hate women.

I don’t understand why you hate women. But do you understand why this vegetarian hates you?
