Hi veggies/Vegans . . . anyone have an opinion as to why Vegetarianism isn't a feminist issue?

Seems to me, in the real world, these two issues would be joined . . . ???

1. Check out the book

http://www.amazon.com/Sexual-Politics-Meat-Feminist-Vegetarian-Critical/dp/0826411843/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203471211&sr=8-1

2. I read it many years ago . . .

but why isn't Vegetarianism/Veganism a feminist issue --- ???

I don't recall the book trying to answer that question . . .
if you've read it recently, fill me in if I am wrong on that --- please . . .

3. The book makes the case that it is a feminist issue

but if you mean why don't more feminists treat it as an issue, I dunno, maybe you should post a thread asking in the Feminists Group?

4. Of course it's a feminist issue . . . and I think you're right . . .

I'll have go ask the feminists why . . .

IMO, it's not really thinking about it --- and probably not reading enough!!!

What's your opinion on it --- ???

Meanwhile, I've posted the question in feminist issues so maybe you want to check it out?

5. Oh, I wish I'd seen this a bit sooner.

It's been tried, and it didn't go well.

I'll certainly come back to discuss this, but right now I've got an emergency edit for a dissertation to finish. (Yes, lack of planning on their part does indeed constitute and emergency on my part!)

6. Oh geez.

Some of the women down there are a little... much. To put it as gently as I can. Best of luck. :patriot:

Hold me, Leftymom. That place scares me.
