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.
