Why Real Feminists Should Stop Eating Eggs Written by Michelle Kretzer | December 3, 2018
The human egg is tiny, undetectable to the human eye—and yet it’s a powerful, life-giving force that is still polarizing nations. Such an innocuous little ovum, yet it holds such an immense power to divide—and to divide people.
As the battle for control over women’s fertility and reproductive rights wages on, feminists are rising up against abuse and exploitation.
So what does it mean, then, when women take another female’s eggs from her without a thought and readily pay money for her eggs, knowing that she was imprisoned, her reproductive cycle was controlled and manipulated, and she was forced to bear young on someone else’s timetable?
Can we really call ourselves “feminists” if we eat eggs?
Some are quick to dismiss the suffering of female members of other species as unimportant. But let’s recall that human females, too, have been dismissed as not important, valuable, intelligent, or worthy of consideration. The justifications that people give for being unconcerned about chickens’ suffering and denying their basic rights are strikingly similar to the justifications that have been given for disregarding women’s suffering and denying their basic rights, all of which are false.
Chickens are inquisitive, and they can complete complex mental tasks, demonstrate self-control, worry about the future, and pass down cultural knowledge. In some aspects, their cognitive abilities exceed those of cats, dogs, and even primates. Like all animals (including humans), they love their families and value their own lives. They look out for their relatives and the other chickens in their group. They have complex social structures, well-developed communication skills, and distinct personalities, just as we do.

I can tell you from experience, that statement is a flat lie. A wounded or sick chicken needs to be isolated from the flock or the other chickens will kill it.
the search for metaphor that ends in insanity.
“As the battle for control over women’s fertility and reproductive rights wages on...”
???
What in the wide, wide world of sports is this idiot babbling about?
And shouldn’t that be “rages” on? Wow. What a dunce.
deranged
Hey PETA,
Up your cloaca!
Human abortion? That would be double-plus good.
Eating chicken eggs? That would be a crime against humanity.
How do we realistically deal with people this divorced from reality?
Aldi has them on sale....$.79.
She means she wants contraceptives and abortions at no cost to her.
Wack. These people are.
“Wages on” is probably how they actually pronounce the phrase. So spelling “rages” that way is natural for them.
In the case of chickens the answer is easy. No rooster. Ladies, take a hint.
Excellent point.
They are trying to use “wage” — a transitive verb — as an intransitive verb.
Go to any grocery store and you’ll see eggs by the scores of dozens. If all of those were fertile and hatched out, what would we do with all the chickens?
I wonder what her position is on abortion.
Institutionalize or euthanize the. No other way.
“Go to any grocery store and you’ll see eggs by the scores of dozens. If all of those were fertile and hatched out, what would we do with all the chickens? I wonder what her position is on abortion.”
perhaps more importantly in such a case, what’s her position on chicken abortion ...
