Location a proud vegan womon from st kilda..., victoria, Australia
Introduction i was born in the 50s, grew up in St. Kilda and 'became' political during the so-called 'second wave' of the womyn's movement (womyn's liberation we called the movement then). it was a wonderful time to be alive - we fought hard for equality and justice (we also partied hard!!!) - unfortunately we seem to still be fighting the same battles this far down the track!! i 'went' vegetarian in the 70's on (what i believed then were) moral grounds - however i finally took off the blinkers and stopped believing the 'dairy' and 'egg' industries' lies, opting for a compassionate vegan lifestyle (the only true moral and ethical thing to do) a few years back... i have a fervent belief in womyn's and animal liberation - hey, the two really can't be separated - animal liberation really is a womyn's liberation issue... oh, i also believe in the decriminalisation of marijuana (for want of a better legal term) - we should all be allowed to grow a few plants in the backyard - the world would be a much better place for it!!
Interests animal liberation, womyn's liberation, equality, compassionate living, veganism, cooking, eating, reading, chilling out with my family (Shadow, feline friend, Petey, canine companion), sharing intimate dinners with close friends (fewer and fewer of them these days) - could be because i am proud to be one of 'those' vegans and don't give a fuck anymore - our other tribe species don't have the time for anymore crap, they're dying by the billions
