Re: Exploiting women to protect animals?
It should be pointed out that not all vegans approve of such tactics. I'm vegan but I refuse to support PETA because of their sexist ads (among other things I don't like about them). In fact there is a feminist movement within the animal rights movement that points out how women's bodies have been conflated with meat, designed for men's "consumption", in advertisements and pop culture. Carol J. Adams' book The Sexual Politics of Meat discusses the intersection of women's and animal rights.
And I also doubt that the vegan strip club is catering to vegan men, as I would guess there are few vegans who visit strip clubs anyway. It's just a way to get omnivorous strip club customers to try vegan food and discover that it can actually taste quite good.
