Don’t you even try to stop me from ordering what will someday no doubt be declared Book of the Last Several Millennia: Carol J. Adams’ epic The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory. A real page-turner, I’m sure! I’m particularly heartened by the five-star review from one “Gwen”:
“I was so moved by this extraordinary text. Interrogating the assumptions of white male Women beaters/meat eaters, this important work examines how the white dominating and oppressive culture dictates that the eating of meat is ‘good’ and even ‘necessary’, subject Peoples of Color to dietary regimes alien to their own subjectivities. As the writer notes, there is considerable resistance among patriarchal-dominated discourses to vegetarianism. This resistance is a form of textual rape, to be combatted by a ‘taste of their own medicine’: ‘A vegetarian writer may express feelings about textual violation by referring to images of butchered animals and raising the issue of dismemberment.’ A wonderful book, highly recommended.”
Hey, meat lovers! Bet you didn’t know you were a textual rapist!

I thought I was both a feminist and a vegetarian, but I’d prefer a hot beef injection to a carnal carrotting anyday. Textually speaking, of course.

It figures. I’m a white male, which means I’m more or less directly or indirectly for most of the world’s problems, so might as well pile “textual rapist” on the list. The line forms to the left…
