This is nonsense. If I have a thing, and I give you that thing freely and of my own volition, you have not exploited me. If we’re going to say that that’s necessarily exploitation, then all transactions are exploitative, and nothing could be considered vegan except for growing your own vegetables in the wild. No, human-derived food can be vegan, as is the case with milk.
Sure, it’s the most braindead definition you can use, and it ignores the very concept of why vegans are vegan in the first place. Big “gender=sex is basic biology” energy here
it’s still exploiting an animal. it’s not vegan.

It’s not exploitation if they consent, that’s the entire point of veganism
it is. consent has nothing to do with exploitation.

taking something to use it is the barest definition of exploitation.

the vegan society says “all forms of exploitation”.
too many commas there.

My friend. If even PETA agrees that human milk is vegan, you can be damn sure that human milk is vegan.
peta is not the authority on the meaning of veganism
