There was a lecture titled “The Sexual Politics of Meat” here at Cornell recently. I am not sure what on earth it could have been about…

   Actually Dr. Adams book was published years ago. It’s quite interesting. The basic concept is that the more patriarchal (or male-dominated) a society, the more likely they are to be heavy meat-eating societies. Further, she discusses the techniques we use to mentally separate meat, in the form most of us eat it, from the animal it came from…and how the techniques are similar to ways such a society uses language and imagery to keep women on a lower strata than men.

   I haven’t read it in years, so my memory is sketchy, but that’s the gist as I recall. I wish you had gone. I would be fascainted to see wat you took away from it.

   if you are being serious when you say you aren't sure what on earth it could have been about than you are an idiot and a moron.
   and if you were being serious. and i hope you weren't. it's yet another measure of how fucked up north america is due to moron after moron being sent to “prestigious” schools because their parents are the same morons that got us all to where we are today and still have more money than they know what to do with so they send their idiotic children away to school so that they don't have to deal with them themselves.
   you'll be one of the first with your back against the wall.
