Popis Using Carol J. Adams's feminist-vegetarian critical theory, this chapter analyzes the reception of #MeToo in Czech by examining the responses of powerful authority figures and influential celebrities who allied to oppose #MeToo by employing sexist and speciesist discourse. Dismissive responses to #MeToo underscore the importance of a movement that is adapted to the Czech context. The chapter traces the historical roots of feminism and vegetarianism in Czech and uncovers how their pioneers advocated for the concurrent focus on the liberation of women and other animals by following an empathetic, alcohol-free, vegetarian lifestyle. By underlining the intersecting nature of meat consumption and sexual violence, the chapter argues for a joined movement of feminists and vegetarians that opposes both violence against women and other animals. Reuniting the two movements could free Czech society of its toxic masculinity and cyclical injustices against both women and animals.
