No we won't. If there's one thing that has a cultural significance almost as deep as language or nationality, it's food. People will still happily consume meat 50 years from now, although more meat substitutes will be available.
- simplicio 10y agoEh, institutionalized misogyny was pretty deeply ingrained in every pre-modern culture. Obviously we haven't completely gotten rid of it, but its died off pretty quickly in just a few generations. I suspect meat consumption will die off a lot quicker than that if decent substitutes become available. (and I say this as someone who eats meat, and doesn't have any particular ethical problem with doing so.)
- b6 10y ago> institutionalized misogyny was pretty deeply ingrained in every pre-modern culture This is an extremely simplistic view that ignores millennia of men being injured or killed for the sake of women. How many lifeboats have been recovered packed with women and children and not a single grown man? Was all that done out of hatred? If we really want to be simplistic, let's look at history and sum it up that women are indifferent toward the safety of men. That's about equally accurate.
