Carnists rape cow and turkey people. Carnists are rapists.

I know this is hard to police, but can dudes please not mention SA, even in regards to animal abuse. It comes off weaponizing SA. Non dudes and SA survivors, I apologize for bringing this issue needlessly. More power to you.
I'm confused by what you're saying. Are you saying dudes shouldn't say that non-human people are sexually abused? Because they are. We shouldn't be silencing or erasing victims merely due to something as arbitrary species membership. Non-human people feel fear, stress, pain, sadness, and trauma. They can also feel love, joy, and security. Their interests matter.
I've been a victim of sexual assault and rape multiple times, and silencing those who have less power than me hurts me. It doesn't help me. Talking about the abuse inflicted upon non-human people doesn't trivialize me or the abuse I've experienced, because my liberation and non-human liberation are rooted together.
but can dudes please not mention SA
are you seriously suggesting that "dudes" can't be victims of SA?
