    Why is my position of respecting consent and not exploiting animals absurd,

    i think it’s fine to oppose exploitation. it’s absurd to premise that opposition on consent.

      I wouldn’t say that I premise exploitation on consent. Afterall I’m being exploited at a minimum wage job, and that is something that I more or less consented to.

      But in the case of animals, consent has to play a significant role, because a core part of their oppression is the complete absence of their bodily autonomy. There is a great deal of intersectionality between women’s rights and non-human animal’s rights.

        i’m saying you premise your opposition to exploitation on consent. and i’m saying that’s absurd.
