Equal rights or separate but equal?

A similar question for communal living arrangements, is whether it's right to prepare vegetarian food for ideological vegetarians - particularly those who merely object to cruelty and don't have an aversion to meat itself.

At what point, should dietary preferences become a matter of "Prepare your own food!".

Do you try to relate every subject to Vegetarianism or Buddhism?

Sometimes he tries to relate a subject to vegetarianism AND Buddhism. Not often, though. He mostly saves that for "enlightened vegetarianism/Buddha loves Broccoli" threads.

How about a compromise? Make the "men only" time one hour three times / week.

Harvard's a pretty big place. How big is their gym? Could this group reserve only certain parts of the gym a few hours / week, but allow the rest of the gym to stay co-ed during those time periods?

Vegetarianism is just a hobby of mine, I associate closely with the Thai Forest Tradition of Theravada Buddhism, which isn't vegetarian but is the most true to Buddha. If I were a hardcore vegetarianism idealistic, I'd have to associate with Mahayana Buddhism or something - but vegetarianism isn't THAT important, it's only nice.

But I do relate every subject to Buddhism. That's because I have the Buddhist attitude to life . So all things ARE Buddhism to me .
There's no trying about it .

You know, we ran a poll to determine whether I was the next reincarnation of Buddha. Before it was deleted (for some reason), me being Buddha was in the lead.

[Blake]

Well, all things do have Buddha nature.

Religion sucks!

Buddhist monks set themselves on fire once, I mean wtf they must have been bored ****less.

[Blake]

Wiggy I don't think it was for entertainment .

[Kidlicious]

They did it to protest government policies.

In other words, they're a pack of morons. Probably insane.

No similar arrangement has been made for male students or for other religious groups.

This seems irrelevant, unless said groups have petitioned for seperate gym-hours and were denied.

This is an awkward argument to use in this context.

When I studied at a University in Finland, they had certain "women only" hours in the sauna at the student house.

(Note: In Finland, you don't bring swimsuits or towels into the sauna)

Why would you bring those things?

They don't belong to a sauna. You can bring boughs of silver birch or a pefletti if you like, but anything else should be left out.
