I'm puzzled as to why vegetarians are more likely to enjoy oral sex.

Somebody: Possibly because vegetarianism in the West is correlated with progressive politics (and thus gender and sexual politics) in general.

It amuses me that some socialists still ridicule vegetarianism. I'm not a strict vegetarian, but it's self-evident that not slaughtering cows and chickens for food is more ethical and progressive than doing otherwise, all else being equal. It's fine eating meat, I suppose, but I can't take meat eaters who still ridicule vegetarians seriously. Even the bourgeoisie has made peace with vegetarians at this point.

It's like making fun of those who don't engage in physical violence for sport. I blame Marx for an obsessive focus upon what makes humanity singular. And human weakness - it's easy to poke fun at those who are morally superior. Of course, some dispute whether morality has any meaning, despite submissively obeying their own moral codes.
