    2. @pony Ponies who try stopping the prostitution of cows in dairy factories and stop the selling of any kind of milk and persuade everypony that drinking milk is bad.

        1. @pony I'm gonna use the milk idea, but make it ponies instead of cows.

          1. @pony No... Just no.

          2. @pony Horses don't get milked. I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

            1. @zeldatra Well, guy horses get milked in a sense. Ask @nerthos, I'm pretty sure every Argentinian man is required to become a Gaucho.

              1. @thewaifutyphoon AND THIS IS WHY I NEVER BRING YOU TO PUBLIC PLACES.

                1. @zeldatra also technically you can milk a female horse, just not in the exact same fashion you'd milk a cow.

                  1. @thewaifutyphoon even more reason as to why i don't take you to public places. You try to milk everything.

                    1. @zeldatra sorry, I'm curious.

                  2. @thewaifutyphoon Pretty sure fermented mare's milk was/is a Mongolian beverage.

                    1. @scribus It is. You just can't hook a milking machine to them the same way you could to a cow.

                      1. @thewaifutyphoon Yay, I scored points on fake-Jeopardy!

                    2. @scribus indeed it is; # need to try it still. Because it's Altaic heritage...

              2. @thewaifutyphoon You're thinking of what in Spain they call a "mamporrero". I do have most of the stuff required for the traditional "pilcha" (clothing) lying around.

            2. @zeldatra Are you saying that you can't milk a horse ?

              Thursday, 24-Jul-14 15:49:18 UTC from web
            3. @zeldatra On the contrary, I've heard horse milk is tasty.

    3. @pony They don't have one.

    4. @pony They don't have one because Equestria is a matriarchal society so feminism is totally pointless.

      1. @zeldatra @cinnamonswirl That's why the current bit in my writing has become difficult to justify. Right now, I'm actually going with an Equestrian history that involves a political movement in recent centuries that pushes for the decline of the monarch/diarch (keeping the alicorns as figureheads only) in favor of a system closer to democracy or that of a republic. In more recent decades, in its effort to garner support and stir up the masses, influential figures supporting the movement's cause claim that ponies have been victimized by the current system, propagating that the government imposes its beliefs and laws, biased against non-believers, on citizens through the "combination of church and state." Much like feminism, this kind of movement could lead the nobles or existing lower authorities to scapegoat against already stigmatized, mutually-hated minorities, and it could explain the rise of victimology (things I need for my writing).

        1. @zeldatra I honestly don't remember. It was my least favorite part of the movie

          Thursday, 24-Jul-14 15:51:43 UTC from web
          1. @thewaifutyphoon I just skipped that part.

            1. @zeldatra It wasn't great. -1/10
