A California college has invited a speaker to teach students that eating meat is misogynistic, and that our society degrades fish because "we don't view them as individuals."
The lecture, titled "The Sexual Politics of Meat," will take place at the University of Redlands on Monday, and is to explore the "relationship between patriarchal values and meat eating by interweaving the insights of feminism, vegetarianism, animal defense, and literary theory," according to the official website of the speaker, Carol J. Adams.
The lecture will be based on a book she wrote by the same name, which explores "the hidden connections between meat eating and patriarchy, between vegetarianism and feminism."

This is from its (I hesitate to use the feminine pronoun)website. Her picture is there. Be prepared. She looks like every other Libiot Nag Hag.
“I’m the author of The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory. It’s been called “ground-breaking” and “pioneering” (interesting how our description of books draws from our invasive relationship to the land). Many say it is an underground classic, which I guess means that lots of people know and love it, but it goes unnoticed by the dominant media. Of course, when it first came out, that was slightly different. Then, right-wing reviewers held it up as the latest example of academic excess and political correctness, which was funny to me, because I am not an academic. I used to teach a course I developed at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University on “Sexual and Domestic Violence: Theological and Pastoral Issues” — but very infrequently. Basically, for as long as I have been an adult, I have been an advocate, an activist, someone trying to figure out how do we transform this d*#! world that is built on inequality.
As an undergraduate, I worked to bring women’s studies courses to the University of Rochester. This was in the early 1970s, and I struggled to find a way to express feminist ideas in my papers for college. I was also involved in protesting the Vietnam War. I went from college to Yale Divinity School, where my field work was at the New Haven Women’s Liberation Center and in an abortion clinic at Yale Medical School. That is where I was the day Roe v. Wade was announced by the Supreme Court. I spent a year at University of Pennsylvania, as an intern for women’s issues at the Christian Association. We created a Susan B. Anthony birthday celebration in 1974. I had the opportunity to dress up as Susan B. and read the speech she gave at the Liberty Bell in 1876. For a moment, I stood alone next to the Liberty Bell, before stepping out to enact my part. I was moved by the sense of historical connection to feminist activists from the past, like Anthony and Stanton, and how we were still working to liberate women from inequality.”
There is more, but I didn’t want to use anymore space.

These women have obviously never experienced my undulating meat truck of manhood. ;-)
So THAT's why I've seen those gigantic barbecue grills for sale in Lowe's and Home Depot!
The local supermarket has a special on steak this week- does that mean they’re pimps?
I tell the local animal-rights crowd that I’m a vegetarian by proxy. I only eat herbivores.
I love meat. How would these morons explain me away?
Chicken breasts are so sexy...
These same folks are pro abortion and would eat a human in time of need.
A fisherwoman.
***My ex-wife (from TX) exclaimed, upon first seeing this, “they, don’t really do that in Texas!!!!”***
Oh yes they do in TEXAS. I was at my niece’s wedding. We went to a steak house in the DFW area where they cut off your tie and nail it to the wall.
At a certain moment, the music came up, and the waitresses line danced.

"My prehistoric ancestors didn't claw and bite
their way up the food chain so that I would eat
veggie burritos and grilled cheese."

Does this include eating Spam, 'cause I'm thinking that eating Spam more nihilistic than misogynistic.
