    Homophobia is literally beaten into men. Not all men obviously, but we shouldn’t be surprised when some men act irrationally around wearing pink.

    I haven’t read the article though because of the pay wall.

      Firefox in desktop mode, click the Immersive Reader icon next to the URL bar. it strips out script bullshit and just lets you read the article.

    I have no problem with wearing pink at any time. Even though I don’t hunt, I do hike and often share the trail with hunters. I’d still prefer orange simply because I’m mildly red-green colorblind, and I can see orange more easily than pink.

    People shouldn’t be hunting in the first place. Toxic masculinity (toxic humanity really) thinks killing/exerting power over a weaker innocent is a good thing though

      Unless you’re vegan, I don’t think you have a good argument against hunting from a moral perspective. Hunters also are some of the biggest donators to wildlife conservation.

        of course I’m vegan, at this point not being vegan is the b12 deficient thing to do. Compassion for all sentient beings is the next ethical step humanity needs to take.

        Also, conserving it so they can do what exactly?

            Continue killing unnecessarily. Continue needless violence

              Only because something is not of any use for you, does not mean that everyone else is sharing the same experience. You could go out there and talk with hunters why they hunt and what they get out of it. I would not hunt, because I don’t like guns - but fishing can be a really neat experience, especially a neat bonding experience with your father.

                you can bond, get out in nature, etc, all without hurting fish

              No one calls a lion hunting violence. it’s the circle of life. If the argument is it’s violence because it’s unnecessary well we need to bring back the wolves and solve world hunger before ill be on your side of that argument. I remember the scene in the Orville where the guy felt eating animals akin to murder. Yeah in that kind of universe i can support it but we are not there yet.

              Anyone hunting for sport alone should do so with a blade, its only more sportsman. It’s not like the deer has a projectile weapon.

                A lion hunting is violence. The circle of life is violent. I agree hunting isn’t the top priority of problems to solve, but people should at least be able to call it what it is and recognize it’s not a good thing

                  I like to consider plant eating an act of violence. I Just ripped and tear into those yummy plant heads that were just living thier best life. If we go with this definition, then violence is a part of life and we just accept it as a necessity. It also means it is our moral duty to ensure the animals we eat are not wasted, not suffer unnecessarily, and appreciate the life that was taken so we can do more with our own. It’s only bad if it serves no purpose and is wasteful.

    Isn’t there a colorblindness that makes distinguishing green from pink difficult? 🤔
