		<description>Animal rights activists need to step back from trying to shame everyone on Earth into thinking as they do. It&#039;s alienating and invasive.

You&#039;re trying to shock people into thinking &quot;eating meat is not okay&quot; by saying &quot;A practice considered normal by nearly (probably) every culture on Earth justifies domestic violence!&quot; Except you just come off looking like an apologist for domestic violence.

Oh, wait, you &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; an apologist for domestic violence.

Also, there are close to 22,000,000 adult women in the Ukraine. While I hesitate to say they&#039;re all in abusive relationships, are you willing to argue to each and every one that it&#039;s their fault for &lt;em&gt;choosing&lt;/em&gt; to live there?

Sounds like you&#039;ve got some seriously oppressive attitudes toward humanity in general (and women in specific) that you need to work through before you can lecture anyone on what they should be eating in order to earn your sympathy.</description>

		<description>Ryan, try comparing me to a f***ing chicken to my face.

Murder, at least you picked the right nickname, baby! So all meat eaters deserve getting beat up? Huh? Statistically I&#039;m sure you&#039;ve got a few meat-eating family members, would you run you mouth to them like that? Who&#039;s the hypocrite now? I&#039;m not even gonna bother with your ignorant comments about Ukraine. 

If you two are so high and mighty and enlightened, you ought to go feed yourselves to a pack of wild dogs &quot;for the good of the planet.&quot; 

Issues my a$$.</description>

		<description>Just  a thought

If you eat meat, complaining about how your Ukrainian husband beats you is absolutely hypocritical. I don&#039;t have any sympathy. 

Another thought

Ukraine looks like a sick society, but why did move there if you already seemed to know that? 

There&#039;s a reason why I will never call myself a feminist or take feminists seriously, that&#039;s because you people all love to act like victims!</description>

		<description>I am aware of the issues, but I am not a vegetarian, and I furthermore consider comparing chicken to people, like you just did, to be pretty disgusting.</description>

		<description>How do you know they didn&#039;t mean &quot;Can you beat girls&quot; in like a bowling contest or something, huh, huh????

I was going to mention the wings, too.  A feminist should be more aware of other social causes.  Like, I&#039;m not going to be a feminist and tell blacks and gays to take a hike.  I could, but then I&#039;d be a dick hypocrite in my own book.</description>

		<description>With Ukraine being a haven for sex tourism and a human trafficking hub, MTV obviously chose not to keep its standards too high.</description>
