(The following is an analogy, not a value comparison <3) For the same reason meat eaters don’t care about the rights on non-human animals. They profit from their ignorance.

"...they'll always tell you." Are you in compliance with rule #1 of this group? (Asking, not accusing.)

That’s certainly an analogy alright…

As someone who eats the minimum nutritional requirement of low-impact meat products because I can’t process veg protein: way to hijack a conversation about women’s rights and make it about your own, misinformed agenda.

I’ve got another analogy: “for the same reason 99% of cis people are lukewarm allies of trans people on their best days - because it doesn’t affect them directly and radical empathy is hard/exhausting.” Society grinds us all down and we barely have energy to fight our own battles. Add the fact that privileged groups benefit from the status quo and, well, it’s easy to see how ignorance/cognitive dissonance is bliss for a lot of people. It’s just so much easier than doing the work required to be a good ally.
