I too don’t really like all the nudity but see how it’s effective in getting attention. I guess the message of your article is: does the end justify the means?

I think this is an unfortunate position to take. I fail to see how exploiting female bodies to “liberate” other female bodies is, in any manner, shape or form proven effective in transforming behavior. Sure, it takes all kinds, but it seems we should be taking some ethical stances of our own and not endorse the objectification of 1/2 the world’s population. Not when the end goal is to STOP objectification of 50+ billion abused animals.

“but I think you don’t comprehend how low the normal human vibration is. You hope that people will make choices based on compassion. I have learned the majority will not.”

Oh, Amanda! This is such a sad thing to read! I can’t see us making much of an impact with a perspective like that. I am thankful my experience with people has not been so negative or left me feeling completely hopeless. I’m bummed yours has been so sadly the opposite.

The one argument you have against the reality… that the majority of cruelty in this world is actually not committed mainly by human men is that you saw a T shirt in a gift shop that read “I club baby seals”? And therefore in your opinion it is moms (women) who are most likely buying those shirts and that proves women are just as violent as men?
That’s it?
That’s really your answer?
Please understand what a misuse of the “human” brain that is.
I think you would be better off trying to research up on the one female matador in Northern Spain.

I’m blown away by the women I’ve met that are so apologetic of the male violence in this world. I’ve had countless conversations with women who say that women are just as violent as men. This is simply not true…not even a good argument…
Statistically you can’t find one human culture in history where women went out in groups or in “teams” and massacred others.

PETA does play into male supremacy and sexism in the type of ads discussed above. It is wrong and it only hurts women and animals.

By the way, if I actually believed that PETA management cared about my opinion and might thoughtfully consider it, then perhaps I would approach them with different ideas. Only, none of this criticism is exactly new; PETA’s heard all this before, and they don’t give a flying monkey what Marji or I think.

Why bang my head against a wall when I can simply shift my support to vegan groups whose ethics and tactics are consistent with my beliefs? PETA isn’t the only game in town.

PETA has a message I agree with – animals are not here for us to exploit. I think we all agree with that.

Some of PETA’s tactics are off-putting, offensive and not helpful. I think it is absolutely fair to voice opposing opinions on the matter without having to dive into PETA’s upper management and “change things”.

All those people that you guys are claiming just look at PETA and accuse them of being nuts for these kinds of activities would use absolutely any excuse to not consider what they say regarding animal rights. If they stood on street corners handing out pamphlets like Jehovah’s Witnesses do, they’d be labelled “goofy quasi -religious nuts”. But you of all people should understand that that mealy-mouthed, “butter wouldn’t melt in my mouth” kind of activism gets absolutely nowhere. Suggest something more effective for Gods sakes!
