The Sexual Politics Of Meat

The sexual politics of meat x3

Eating animals acts as mirror and representation of patriarchal values
Meat eating is the re-inscription of male power at every mea
The patriarchal gaze sees not the fragment of flesh of dead animals but advertising food
Vegetarian activities counter patriarchal consumption and challenge the consumption of death
feminist vegetarian activities declares that an alternative world view exists
one which celebrates life rather than consuming death
one which does not rely on resurrected animals but enpowered people

if meat is the symbol of male dominance, then the presence of meat proclaims the disempowering of women

It takes the notion of objectification one step further
not only have we objectified the animals, but in objectifying them
We take what we want from them and leave the rest out
We leave their death out and then take their bodies
We leave the images of their death out but take the meaning of meat and apply it to women

We need not choose one liberation cause or the other
Women's rights and animal rights suffer a common oppression: the patriarchal world
Male dominance attacks feminism. they say we are bra burners, they say we are house wreckers
They say we are man haters

Human dominance affects animal rights
They say we are terrorists
They say we are people haters.
