The Carrot Some Vegans Deplore
By KARA JESELLA
TWO things that you can find a lot of in Portland, Ore., are vegans and strip clubs.
OK, lede writer: you now have my undivided attention.
Go on...
Johnny Diablo decided to open a business to combine both. At his Casa Diablo Gentlemen’s Club, soy protein replaces beef in the tacos and chimichangas; the dancers wear pleather, not leather. Many are vegans or vegetarians themselves.
Yes...
But Portland is also home to a lot of young feminists,
Ruh Roh.
and some are not happy with Mr. Diablo’s venture. Since he opened the strip club last month, their complaints have been “all over the Internet,” he said. “One of them came in here once. I could tell she had an attitude right when she came in. She was all hostile.”
Mr. Diablo isn’t concerned with the “feminazis,” as he calls them. As a vegan himself, he says he hasn’t worn or eaten animal products in 24 years and is worried about cruelty to animals. “My sole purpose in this universe is to save every possible creature from pain and suffering,” he said.
Casa Diablo is just the latest example of selling veganism with a “Girls Gone Wild” aesthetic to draw the ire of vegans who complain that such tactics may get people to pay attention to animal cruelty, but for the wrong reasons. In Los Angeles, some frown at the scantily clad Vegan Vixens — a kind of animal-loving Pussycat Dolls — who perform songs like “Real Men Don’t Hunt” at fund-raisers for animal welfare groups.
And many vegans who want to publicize cruelty within the fur industry are nonetheless dismayed by the new “Ink, Not Mink” advertising campaign from peta2, the youth arm of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. It features members of the Internet-based pinup group the Suicide Girls, sporting little more than tattoos and body piercings.
This isn’t the first time animal rights activists have been accused of sexism. Many vegans have long criticized PETA for using naked celebrities in its advertising campaigns and for staging stunts like naked protests.
...

Wiccan, in my experience, strongly correlates with all of the rest of those, except the "for Christ" part.
But then again, that's my base.
Wiccan vegan third-wave feminist stripper Mac-using Green Party volunteers for Christ stops a beating heart....
LoL? At least a good deep chuckle.
That bumper sticker will cover the entire back end of my Smart Car ...
Wow, that chocolate girl picture... I did not know I had a thing for that. :)

I know exactly where this place is across the river, and it's true, Portland has more strip clubs per capita than anywhere else in the US.
I ain't much for veganism. I really like my dead varmint parts.
My oldest daughter is a vegan,whatta ya do?
This guy with the strip joint is laughing all the way to the bank, he could care less if ya eat there or not according to the local article I read about three months ago.
God I love this country, and Booobz too.
Sometimes you need a program to keep up with the agenda. Strippers are a throwback to the bad old days before feminism, when wmoen were only sex objects. No wait, strippers are empowered to proclaim their femininity. No wait, strippers are single mothers coping the best they can, in this position because feminism breeds absent fathers. No wait, strippers are capitalists who will cut your balls off. No wait...
I am writing a new pop tune for the movement..please join in:

rusted knuckles, you beat me to it! Right you are about PDX and strip clubs! And it is a great haven for vegans too! You are in Vancouver or some such? I was raised in Camas...class of 64. Now I gotta scoot over to your blogs to see what sort of rabble you been rousing.
Umm, Mr. Natural?
I'm right next door to Camas.
Holy Hand Grenades, i luvvvs PDX!
Every other corner was either a bookstore, coffee shop, brewpub, or stripclub. I don't know what that article was blathering on about - you could get a garden burger at Sassy's, like, ten years ago. It will be real news when these places are no longer allowed to sell drinks. The OLCC already tried crackin down on dancers 'self-satisying' in front of anyone witha beer in their hand. Wha wha whut, someone's drinking a Bridgeport and flicking the bean? Mein Got! Tha Humanity!
Ohh portland, it's too late..
Club Coco II was okay, real cozy (til the bouncer kicked my friend in the sternum for asking for cab), The Dolphin II was swank but the drive to Beaverburg kinda killed it. Mary's - a classic, good burritos next door, and fuhgetabout the A-Crop - Sassy's got the better burgers. Nearly got shanked at the Double Dribble, but that's life in Felony Flats. Union Jack(offs) jumped the shark a loong time ago. BoomBoom Room kicked my girlfriend out for laughing at a dancer ("you call those Boobs?")
Kept waiting for a McMennamins to open an olde timey Burlesque club, but then Dante's gots that pretty well covered.
man i miss that town.
crap, once you hit publish, it's too late to turn back bad links
Drag The River cover the Mat's Portland
It's not a terrible idea to have a vegan strip club re: Casa Diablo. I mean, if you're going to have one, might as well make it not harmful for animals.
I believe that women who want to strip absolutely should. Some women love stripping and are making incredible amounts of money doing what they enjoy. How many of us can say that about our jobs?
