Shortsighted article about Huel

Did anyone see this article about Huel?

It names Soylent in the beginning but basically it’s about Huel.

I think the author totally misses the point…

I can’t help but feel a little offended some of these sentences like:

“In a world in which women feel social pressure to spend time worrying about planning outfits, putting on makeup, Huel felt like a simple way to gain back time lost to the patriarchal structures.”

Sorry but I don’t use Huel to have more time for putting on makeup :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

It starts out sounding rather infantile but redeems itself slightly in one or two places. Had to laugh at ‘people’s teeth falling out after spending weeks and months not chewing’ :grin:

So feminists are now using meal replacements to free up time in order to do the patriarchal duties of which they have been stereotypically expected to do for decades. Am I reading that right ? or am I being an idiot for being a man and putting my head above the parapet.
If I suggested to my darling wife was the reason she was hueling so she could do the patriarchal duties I would rightly be in a very large dog house for a very long stretch.

To be truthful, if they got a man to write the article it would have been much better. Sarah could have poured him a beer and fetched his slippers while he composed it.

You mean while he was assimilated into the Huel collective. Resistance being futile of course.

Indeed and if Sarah was using Huel she would have had plenty of time for that and can also pick out a nice outfit and put on some makeup…

But it sounds weird. Feminist who are doing patriarchal duties. That doesn’t sound like a feminist to me.

To be honest, I did not check what a feminist really is about but I always thought of it as a free fought women who shares the duties with her husband equally.

And non-binary people, I have no clue who that is and what they do… but apparently those are Huels main users…

Thats why I thought it was a very strange article and to me didn’t make sense.
I do believe the world has finally gone completely mad.

I had to look up non-binary apparently also known as genderqueer. It’s a whole new language to me :roll_eyes:

Agree @KevinPo64707310 the world certainly has gone mad. Really weird article.

It was an interesting read, but seems to have not actually read the posts about chewing and teeth falling out that they’ve linked to. Maybe I’m not reading the posts right, but none of the posters said their teeth had fallen out. Though tbh I didn’t search the forum to see if anyone else has reported it.

I have a brain freeze just reading that description. Life can be challenging enough anyway and we seem to be making it way way more complicated than is necessary.

This article is so far stretched it hurts. Huel as a product is not going to make women and men more equal. Huel as a company is doing its effort.

She is binary saying if you work in IT you are binary. And therefore that’s the only thing you care about. Your food can be hacked. Everyone else is none-binary they don’t work in IT so they have no clue how to lifehack :man_shrugging:

i did see an interview with James Collier he simply stated that men are more used to bring bottle feed. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: meaning protein shake after gymtime.

I think the article is meant to make the author sound ‘clever’ but she falls flat on her carefully made-up face.

Where I live, which if you believe some people is a rocky outcrop with no civilisation, running water or people, you can walk down the road on any given day and see at least one person who identifies as non-binary, and no, it isn’t the same person.

We also have a very radical feminist, who hangs out with right wing holocaust Nazis in Norway, and has been arrested several times for hate speech, banned from social media, and who makes Katie Holmes look like a wishy washy leftie. She is a TERF and uses feminist vocabulary but is totally aligned with national anti-LGBTQ groups. She has appeared on mainstream TV several times and has some nasty points of view. Vile woman.

But here is the thing. If you are a parent of a 7 year old girl, would you be happy with her sharing a changing room at the swimming pool, with a 50 year old man who identifies as a woman, yet still has a penis? That is part of her argument and you can see that some people are uncomfortable with that idea, and thus she gains support and the chance to air more troublesome views.

Happy Saturday, huelers.
