Because mayo is strongly associated with white people and especially conservatives. There’s the whole meme about not eating any food spicier than mayo.
She was a women’s and gender studies major in college. Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise.
Naturally? Is it some feminist thing to loathe mayo? Why?

It’s because mayo is just disgusting. It like 99% fat and tons of calories. People from New generations actually don’t want to look like dwarfs. Everyone in the 80s and 90s was fat as fuck, and much of this is because they ate mayo a stuff like that. Most of the food Americans eat literally has no nutrients. It’s just pleasure. Just something to stuff their mouths with. They eat for hours and are still hungry, because they might as well be eating sand.

It’s not though. Maybe miracle whip, but that’s garbage. Not real mayo.
It is extremely high in fat though. But the way Americans eat it is the real problem. You’re supposed to eat a small amount as a condiment to add flavour. Americans treat it like they treat all condiments, the same way Italians treat pasta sauce.
I love mayonnaise but I eat maybe a tablespoon of it at most for an entire sandwich (spread very thinly over the bread) and I use it instead of butter, not in addition to butter.

Because mayonnaise looks like and is sometimes associated with cum and patriarchy. Is my guess.

Because it’s hens and cows that are farmed for their products, veganism is a feminist issue.
Feminism is notoriously concerned with chromosomes rather than personhood. /s
