so he has swapped the exploitation of animals for the exploitation of women, treating them like meat!

Hi Karine,
I don’t have a problem with your comment that most American vegans care more about animal welfare than human welfare. I don’t, however, agree with you. I think that the more vocal, more militant vegans tend to get more press than the rest of us. You very rarely hear anything about us garden-variety, run of the mill vegans.

I find it grimly hilarious (not to mention hypocritical) that a vocal vegan–who is ostensibly all about not exploiting the flesh of animals for food–appears to have no problem exploiting the flesh of women for profit.

I know you won’t want to hear this, but this tends to cement more firmly my belief that most American vegans care far more about animal welfare than they do about the well-being of their fellow humans. Not all, mind you, but most.

Hi Annabellsmonkey,

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking Portland at all. Actually, Jane and I are talking about when we’re going (but not to the strip club). We’ve even talked about maybe moving up there at some point, but first we’d have to visit a few times. (I’m not sure if I can be transplanted from the LA weather.)

Thanks for the mention of the other vegan wonders. We’ve read many things that mention how easy it is to be vegan there.

Hello. I’m from Portland, the great city that is weird enough to have a vegan strip club. I’ve been following your blog via twitter, but have yet to fully explore it. Do you know of Portland’s other vegan wonders? Food Fight is our vegan grocery/convenience store and Sweetpea is the vegan bakery. Vegan cupcakes! Veganopolis is a totally vegan cafeteria style restaurant. Portland is a really great place to be vegan.

You know, I hadn’t thought about it (the idea of eating at a strip club), but yes, it’s a bit off-putting. Kind of like being invited for dinner to a nudist’s home. Not that there’s anything wrong with being a nudist, but health regulations require employees preparing food wear hair nets (for a reason)!

Mainstream, indeed. Until now it hadn’t occurred to me that people went to strip clubs for the food.

I wonder what it says about me that the idea puts me off immediately, whereas the companies providing vegan BDSM gear seem to be providing a valuable service.
