I'm looking for change in our systems, but I recognize that the system is far bigger than me or you. I'm not going to lose sleep living in the only system I have access to. But in the meantime, I will bother politicians hoping to change the system that way.

I don't think beating your wife should be legal, and I will bother politicians to chance the law. But while I'm waiting for that, of course I will continue to beat my wife. It's the way things are.

How so? The system of patriarchy is beyond any one individual to solve. Yet I'm damn certain you believe every man should still do their best not to contribute. Why should the system of animal exploitation (and environmental destruction, while we're at it) be any different?

Is it because one of these requires actual work on your side? You are the one measuring the same thing by two different standards.
