First I’m a murderer, now I’m a rapist?

Hollywood starlet Natalie Portman is gifted with the brains, looks and talent that every guy wants, but for some reason I can’t quite put a finger on why I keep losing respect for her. Oh wait... now I remember. She just compared me and everybody else who enjoys being a carnivore to rapists. Sheesh, first I’m a murderer, now I’m a rapist. Somebody should tell my mom she raised me wrong.

Portman, a Harvard graduate, is a smart girl. But recently she comes off looking like she has no brains in her petite head when she submitted an essay to the Huffington Post. In the essay she discussed her views as a vegan activist and supporter of the radical literature of Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals. 

At first she starts out nicely enough by saying, “I've always been shy about being critical of others' choices because I hate when people do that to me. I'm often interrogated about being vegetarian (e.g., ‘What if you find out that carrots feel pain, too? Then what'll you eat?’)”
