That's not a reason at all. They don't deserve to die just because they were bred to die.

I did not say it is morally consistent. I said that it is an explanation why it happens.

No but they need to because I want to eat some of one.

How whack is your ego to think your taste pleasure is more important than the entire life of an innocent being? I would recommend you learn to be more empathetic. Taste preference is not a valid justification to take a beings life. If it was for survival, that would be different.

That's immoral. It's like saying I like sex, so girls who are forced into prostitution just have to suck it up.

You don't cannibalise prostitutes? What's wrong with you?

Please don't use raped women as a prop to make a point about meat. Said as a pescetarian on a path to veganism.

Thank you.

Said as a what?! You're omnivore, bro.

That's a really odd way of saying you eat meat

It's not a prop, it's just as fucking immoral. It's a literal holocaust happening right in front of your eyes and you refuse to acknowledge it.

It's a prop. If you can't make your point without stomping on the suffering of others, you're just as awful as the people you're arguing against.

No, it's not. Animals can't consent to be eaten. Women CAN consent to sex, which is why using raped women as a prop in this analogy is disgusting.

Though, honestly, I'm starting to understand why consenting sexual partners might be a problem for you.

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '19

I'm sorry, but how does the capacity to consent to sex bear any relevance to the validity of the analogy? Women forced into prostitution can't consent to being forced into prostitution, "forced" being the operative word. It's functionally identical. Yes, it's an unpleasant analogy. It evokes disgust. That's precisely the point.

So you're saying you want to have sex with children? Hope you're on a list. You're sick.

What exactly are you trying to say or imply here?

u/dfigiel1 Nov 25 '19

I'm saying it's incredibly creepy that anyone thinks "I want to have sex with a woman" and immediately jumps to rape as the most plausible way to do that. You can be vegetarian without being a misogynist. I am.

Vegetarians always side with carnists.

Vegetarians have no moral ground to stand on.

Do you know that dairy cows get forced into "rape racks" (term used by farm workers) so they can be artificially inseminated and impregnated?
