Ever confused about the links between feminism, sexism, and meat-eating? Let me help.
I am learning lots about feminism this term in school (verging into topics that include: queer studies, sexuality, gender, feminist media studies), and the experience reminds me again why I love learning. My perspective on the world is changing as I begin to look more critically at media from a scholarly feminist angle, and it is proving to have more of an effect on me than I would have guessed. Could my thesis topic be transforming at the same time? I won’t know until my exploratory final papers this term happen.
At any rate, I ran into a few incredible (absurd? horrifying? hilarious?) videos that perfectly illustrate the links between gender stereotypes and meat.
