Svenska: Feminism är en av de mest viktigaste idéerna av alla idéer under historiens gång. Men om du är en feminist och inte vegan, snälla överväg då att du godtyckligt exkluderar från omfånget av dem som du bryr dig om moraliskt, miljarder av medvetna kvinnor vars reproduktiva system och relationer med deras avkomma är objektifierade och exploterade för ingen bättre anledning än en smakupplevelse. Om du är feminist, snälla inkludera alla kvinnnor genom att bli vegan.
English:Feminism is one of the most important ideas in the history of ideas. But if you are a feminist and not a vegan, please consider that you are arbitrarily excluding from the scope of your moral concern billions of sentient females whose reproductive systems and relationships with their offspring are commodified and exploited for no better reason than your palate pleasure. If you are a feminist, please include all females. Please go vegan.

A portion of a message received yesterday:
"Feminism is my passion. It never occurred to me that my views were "incoherent" as you say because I was not including the exploitation of female animals in my thinking. I never even thought of it actually until someone shared a post from your page. At first I was taken aback and annoyed by what you said and the comments on the thread indicated I wasn't alone! And then I thought. And thought. And thought. I read some of your website posts and I thought some more and exchanged some emails with [name omitted]. I am starting the 3 step program with 2 week intervals. With some luck, I will be vegan in six weeks. Thanks for provoking me."
My reply: "Terrific news! Speciesist feminism is really no different from racist feminism that ignored the exploitation of women based on race and even promoted and participated in that exploitation. In my view, a sound form of feminism concerns itself with the exploitation and commodification of all. And going vegan is so easy. Really. Six weeks is a lot better than never but right now is better than six weeks! Anyway, I am glad I provoked you! Thanks for writing. Messages like this keep me going!"
Note on 3 step approach: If you care about nonhuman animals, go vegan. You can do it immediately--right now. It's easy! But if you are not willing to go vegan immediately, you can try going in stages: go vegan for breakfast for a week or two; then go vegan for lunch for a week or two; then for dinner. But really, you can do it immediately. You just have to want to.
