Now even eating meat is sexist

Celda · 2012-01-28T03:45:34+00:00

I think all of us, vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, can agree that this woman, and people who agree with this woman, are idiots.

hermit_the_frog · 2012-01-28T02:14:43+00:00

My IQ is dropping just reading that.

To be fair, this isn't a feminist working the vegetarian card, this is a vegan working the feminism card.

loose-dendrite · 2012-01-28T02:48:29+00:00

As a vegan, please don't associate veganism with her. Her stupidity is incidental to her diet.

Moustachiod_T-Rex · 2012-01-28T02:20:17+00:00

Eating meat is sexist. Eating is sexist. Sitting is sexist.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2012-01-28T03:56:22+00:00

Let's just wash over all those evolutionary traits we have for eating meat. It's oppression or something!

sixofthebest · 2012-01-28T03:25:46+00:00

This has actually been argued since the 70s, but it's only getting exposure now.

Feminism is fucking INSANE.

2012-01-28T07:42:32+00:00

This bitch is one bologna sandwich short of a picnic basket.

Note: Picnics themselves are sexist. When the male lays down that iconic checkered blanket, he is using a deeply ingrained social construct in order to manipulate the woman into enjoying herself with a bologna sandwich.

toblotron · 2012-01-28T08:07:42+00:00

This kind of thinking really needs a clinical diagnosis :D

-it's the kind of statements I'd expect from a schizophrenic

2012-01-28T05:55:31+00:00

This is one of the stupidest things I have ever read... especially when you take into account that women need more red meat than men due to the fact that menstruation can cause anemia.

RyanLikesyoface · 2012-01-28T07:13:34+00:00

Why don't we chop down skyscrapers too? They are quite obviously a mirror of patriarchal values what with their phallic designs. Death to the Eiffel tower!! Evidence that Paris is amongst the most sexist cities on earth and proclaims the dis-empowering of women!

Fortunae · 2012-01-28T08:11:09+00:00

I'm a vegetarian, but this is quite possibly the stupidest statement I have ever heard. Certainly in the top 5.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2012-01-28T02:57:17+00:00

Carnivores support the patriarchy!

The enemy!

Steinhauser · 2012-01-28T03:25:05+00:00

Eating vegetables acts as a mirror and representation of matriarchal values. Vegetable eating is the re-inscription of female power at every meal...if vegetables are a symbol of female dominance than [sic] the presence of vegetables proclaims the disempowering of men.

I'm Vegan, and this made my eyes roll.

white_cloud · 2012-01-28T05:37:43+00:00

You know, my initial reaction to this was one of uproarious laughter that anyone would be so deluded as to say things like "meat is a symbol of male dominance" and "meat eating is the re-inscription of male power at every meal". But then I did some research and found out that this is a real thing.

The author apparently believes that meat-eating is a part of maleness and vegetarianism is a part of femaleness. But is this really true? Have women throughout history eaten less meat than men? Do women as a gender have less of an appetite for meat than men do? In my experience, I have not found this to be true. I have found that women usually have the same or greater appetite for meat as men do.

What I think this author is doing is mistaking the fact that historically, it has been the men who had to procure meat for the family, either through hunting it or through raising and butchering it, and using this as evidence that meat-eating is a part of maleness.

She's ignoring the fact that the men brought home meat for the entire family, and that once the meat was brought home it was probably prepared with help from the women, because the women wanted meat for their meals just as much as the men did. Women were spared from the danger of having to go out and hunt for the meat, or the dirty work of butchering an animal. But that doesn't mean that women didn't like meat or didn't encourage the men to bring it home.

NiceIce · 2012-01-28T05:06:38+00:00

Real women eat sand.

2012-01-28T07:51:29+00:00

WHAT THE FUCK

seal_raider · 2012-01-28T08:01:16+00:00

Well, I guess that's it boys. We must be racists. At least I am because damn I sure do love a steak. I love a roasted lamb. Gee golly it sure sucks to be us... oh wait.

Joeboy · 2012-01-28T10:23:40+00:00

"Now"? Here is an industrial hip-hop remix of the author reading out that quote, from twenty-one years ago.

venereveritas · 2012-01-28T02:54:41+00:00

And that's why there are more male vegans than females...wait, what?

I hate it when feminists try to connect any form of animal cruelty to sexism. And were it not for meat eating, we humans would have never developed our large brains...not that this personcares about actual history or biology.

drinkthebleach · 2012-01-28T07:24:36+00:00

Wow, what in the fuck happened that makes people like this? Is it just brainwashing or are they born this way?

Saint_ · 2012-01-28T02:43:45+00:00

"The sexual politics of meat?"

Lecks · 2012-01-28T13:17:04+00:00

Here I was thinking I liked meat because it tasted good but in reality its because it reminds me of dicks.

2012-01-28T23:59:49+00:00

FUCKNUTS

And that is all there really is to say on the matter.

IHaveALargePenis · 2012-01-28T05:21:10+00:00

Carol J. Adams is a fucking moron. There's no need to eloquently compare two unlike things and deliver it with authority for anyone to believe me, just quote whatever comes out of her mouth.

2012-01-28T06:58:31+00:00

Is it surprising that the hallmark of feminism is idiocy, uneducated theories, and moronic statements like this?

TheBananaKing · 2012-01-28T08:19:20+00:00

And if my grandmother had balls, she'd be my grandfather.

Jkb77 · 2012-01-28T08:22:48+00:00

I know a young lady who loves to hunt with her 30/30 with a pink camo stock. She would take issue with this I think.

Scott2508 · 2012-01-28T15:40:29+00:00

Hey guys, you know, just because you're not a vegan and some vegans are crazy doesn't mean you should denigrate all vegans.

Just sayin..

MissCait · 2012-01-28T16:02:43+00:00

I'm making 8oz hunks of sexism for dinner, anyone care to join? lol

2012-01-28T16:53:35+00:00

Can I please have a time machine, so I can go back in time when people weren't such morons?

mkhorn · 2012-01-28T18:48:27+00:00

BRB eating chicken nuggets and setting women back 100 years.

UnoriginalMike · 2012-01-28T05:48:31+00:00

My only thought it: lol wut?

I'm going to go back to repressing women by eating a huge lamb shank, a side of bacon, a beef roast, and one of every domesticated bird (parakeet is tasty)...

Lol, veggitarian...

BukkRogerrs · 2012-01-28T08:09:22+00:00

Does feminism attract delusional idiots like this, or are they just the more visible and vocal ones?

Kardlonoc · 2012-01-28T08:32:51+00:00

Can't girls eat meat as well? I mean fuck that they do eat meat and often. How is that disempowering anyone? The logical leaps here are astounding.

ExistentialEnso · 2012-01-28T11:10:19+00:00

I'm not usually one to do things out of spite, but I'm going to go make a big plate of bacon just because of this woman's remarks.

These sorts of "theories" are exactly why feminism corrupted into the mess it is today, because trying to base your actions on bullshit just makes your actions bullshit themselves.

Levy_Wilson · 2012-01-28T11:33:53+00:00

According to this woman... "Men breath therefore sexist!"

Hell, she's probably got a problem with dead men too.

"Men's bodies decay, sexist!"

MIXEDGREENS · 2012-01-28T15:37:13+00:00

So is any of feminism grounded in real science, or is it just a series of "just so" stories?

Freezerburn · 2012-01-28T16:59:11+00:00

Tell that to the girls in r/keto they eat meat, tell them how empowering to a man it is for them to lose weight and gain power over their own lives.

time_traveller_ · 2012-01-28T17:26:46+00:00

Can't we just eat meat because meat is good?

GavnLogic · 2012-01-28T05:06:24+00:00

Where do these fucking people come from.

ScottFree37 · 2012-06-17T14:04:54+00:00

I read a blog once equating eating meat to rape. Even with everything on the Internet it was a low point

benshere · 2012-01-28T07:09:31+00:00

by this logic the idea of womens rights is offensive to all men.

In_Armor · 2012-01-28T07:38:04+00:00

Lol. Sometimes they're just funny.

2012-01-28T12:03:11+00:00

Doesn't Carol J. Adams know, r/MensRights would much rather eat pussy at every meal?

lockedge · 2012-01-28T14:02:49+00:00

That was one of the most idiotic statements I've read. Wow.

OirishM · 2012-01-28T14:10:05+00:00

Shit like this makes me prouder when my gf tucks into a huge burger.

And yet that's nothing really to be proud of, but this is what happens when clowns like this are the opposition.

2012-01-28T15:04:45+00:00

This is the sort of thing that makes me despise ideologies in general. This is a perfect example of just how much they can restrict and twist your thinking - after all, how can a rational person say, in all seriousness, that eating meat is objectively a mirror of male dominance? What scares me is that it's so easy for things to turn malignant at this point, too...

2012-01-28T15:46:47+00:00

Any noble idea is only 2 committees away from being corrupted. Were I a vegan, I would be a bit disturbed by this. That is why I avoid noble things right from the start.

2012-01-28T15:57:17+00:00

Sweet baby jesus, this makes me hate vegans even more than I used to.

ichibanmarshmallow · 2012-01-28T16:23:59+00:00

I'm too busy being confused to be angry...

2012-01-28T17:15:19+00:00

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

2012-01-28T17:53:23+00:00

It's shit like this, that makes me reconsider being vegetarian.

Pomberella2 · 2012-01-28T18:09:44+00:00

I don't get it. I am all for equal rights. So having said this, why should we banish meat so women feel equal? Shouldn't we in turn vanish fruits or vegetables? Not eat anything at all? Would that then make us equal?

nepidae · 2012-01-28T09:21:11+00:00

Cherry picking obviously retarded and outlandish things does not enrich r/MR. It is easy to cherry pick stupid anti-women statements by men, and I would hope that we wouldn't think it was representative of men as a whole.

Turning this subreddit into a he man-woman haters club would be a terrible thing. Please don't make it happen.

Baronvonyiffington · 2012-01-28T06:21:59+00:00

Heh. Vegans.

JamesKBoyd · 2012-01-28T06:22:03+00:00

Yummy sexism!

MockingDead · 2012-01-28T05:41:15+00:00

So will r/Keto and r/Paleo now be subsumed by men's rights?

Also, I am eating a steak tonight. Problem, Women?

2012-01-28T09:12:08+00:00

Eat my meat woman, eat my big juicy meat!

sidewalkchalked · 2012-01-28T16:47:22+00:00

COUNTERPOINT MEAT IS FOR EVERYONE

Scott2508 · 2012-01-28T21:48:20+00:00

that may be the single most inspired reason for me having my steak blue today .
