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.

    I wonder if it's ironic? He argues for veganism in another recent post: https://medium.com/@chrisjeffrieshomelessromantic/list-of-20-champion-vegan-athletes-25ef8d7e6276

      I'm not saying that he isn't arguing for veganism, he obviously is. I'm just taking issue with the arguments made that there is something biologically innate to women that makes them more likely to be vegan. Benevolent sexism is still sexism at the end of the day. And I'd also say that the differences in social conditioning between men and women have a much larger role to play in this difference than anything inherently biological.

      Maybe it's one big ironic paragraph, but I don't have a medium account so I can't read the full piece.
