Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.

It seems the fairer sex has taken to the fairer diet in greater numbers than their male counterparts. According to the data, a full 9% of women in the United States now identify as vegan, compared to a paltry 3% of men.

So about 2X more women are vegan than men? Honestly I would have thought the ratio to be a lot higher.

This reminds me of how, even though I'm pansexual and don't necessarily care about gender in my partners, I most certainly have a higher chance of ending up with a woman. They tend to be more likely to have traits I find more attractive and desirable, and veganism is one of them; it's a requirement actually. I also tend to prefer people who have long hair and are really empathetic and don't have toxic masculinity. If I meet a man with those boxes checked, I'd be fine with dating him, but it just seems so unlikely these days, especially with all the manosphere stuff that I see spreading too damn much.
