Like if your vegan anarchist grandma and vegan anarchist dad were the same person.

I am an engineer (closer to toot toot then clicky clacky) cosplaying as a farmer in unceded aninstanabe territory in eastern ontario.

Pronouns: she/they

Maybe the real vegan theory club were the friends we made along the way ✨

  • Two criticisms that come to mind are:

    • the cause of the epidemic is the patriarchy, therefore it’s men’s own fault, i.e. the rigid gender roles and “man up attitude” are within the power of individual men to overcome and they just need to um… man up and break down those barriers.
    • the cause of the epidemic is men trying to cling to the benefits they would have otherwise under the patriarchy and it’s a reaction to non-men having more status and freedom.

    (Before you hit reply please remember OP didn’t ask for an discussion on if these are real or correct - just what some of the criticisms are. I’m not saying I buy into either of them.)










  • I like to volunteer. That way there is a built-in thing to talk about, and it’s generally okay to not veer off that too much? Pick something you are interested in 😊

    There are so many different ways you can volunteer and many different activities. I’ve done things as diverse as the water stations at triathlons (standing and handing things out) to being on the board of a not-for-profit (lots of meetings), to serving meals with fnb (cooking and cleaning).

    I also take classes, such as in a pottery studio.

    All these are opportunities to meet people and be social but with no pressure. You know you have at least one thing in common! If you find someone you vibe with them you can become closer friends but if not you still make task-specific acquaintances.
