The Sexual Politics of Meat
Our patriarchal culture animalizes women and sexualizes animals, and without compulsory pregnancy among human and nonhuman females, both patriarchy and animal agriculture would fail. Carol Adams, author of The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegan Critical Theory, joins us. Highlights include:
How Carol got started on her personal journey to veganism;
Why patriarchal cultures associate masculinity with meat-eating and how women and animals become ‘absent referents’;
Why feminism and veganism have a long history of deep interconnection;
How sexism persists in the animals rights movement;
Why a vegan diet is a daily act of anti-oppressive resistance.
