Patriarchy Hurts Men Too

I saw this story today, and as a male vegetarian who gets a lot of crap from my otherwise understanding friends and family, I thought I’d pass it along.

“Beef At Gay Insult” (my apologies for sending you to the NY Post site)

Basically, a guy was fired from his job because his boss thought it was “gay” that he was a vegetarian, and he’s now fighting back.

I’ve always thought that the best way to get men more involved in feminism was to show them the ways patriarchy hurts us, and how feminism can be a great tool to take on those fucked up assumptions about what men can and should be.

And this is one of them. Reject claims that you can’t be a man and care about eating healthy and/or animal rights.
