Editorial Reviews
Review
“A bible of the vegan community.” ―New York Times
“Important and provocative ... Likely to inspire and enrage readers across the political spectrum.” ―Library Journal
“Adams' original, provocative book makes a major contribution to the debate on animal rights.” ―Publishers Weekly
“In the 20th-anniversary edition of this thought-provoking book, Adams explores the links between the slaughter of animals and violence directed against women, and ties the carnivorous diet to such patriarchal ideas as 'the end justifies the means.'” ―Toronto Globe and Mail
“...a richly polemical discussion of the relationships among patriarchal culture, the exploitation of women and of animals, and the politics of meat-eating.” ―New York Review of Books
“Adams’ argument in The Sexual Politics of Meat is as elegant as it is disturbing … It makes even the most cognizant among us feel a twinge of shame for not noticing, and reacting, sooner, and with due outrage.” –James McWilliams, Pacific Standard
“The Sexual Politics of Meat couldn't be more timely, or more disturbing.” ―Environmental Ethics
“Adams’ argument in The Sexual Politics of Meat is as elegant as it is disturbing … It makes even the most cognizant among us feel a twinge of shame for not noticing, and reacting, sooner, and with due outrage.” – James McWilliams, Pacific Standard

I love Carol J. Adams and I plan on reading more of her work for years to come. (She tweeted me and followed me on Twitter!!!)
Subtitled "A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory", this small book is no small work. Carol J. Adams was/is a pioneer in connecting words with images; Adams links words; like contexts with meanings, power to subordination, and humanity to kindness. This book is surely, but not only, a feminist treatise. It is also about the non-human animals which we debase with words. (Think, for example, how calling a female human " b**** " is actually a slander to females of two species at once...)
Adams addresses the demeaning of women and animals as well as societal correctives. I guess I need to read the book again because I don't recall if she addresses the effect of sexual politics on boys and men. How many PE coaches have told young males "You run like a girl"? How many boys and men have been called a " p**** ", again slandering females from two species at once. I've been challenged with "How do you handle having a woman for a boss?" But because of having been influenced by Carol J. Adams' writing, I do see the damage done to boys and men in these ways. And I see the secondary damage to girls and women, by insinuation, with such words.
The popular cable show "Mad Men" does a great job of illustrating the decade in which my mind developed a world view with frameworks for the treatment of women and animals. The show illustrates well the common assumptions of the early 1960's which I have to this day not completely overcome. There is a part of me that believes the writers of Mad Men have read The Sexual Politics of Meat, and that they are showing us how it was then while we ask ourselves "How different, if at all, are things now?"
Read, or join me in a re-read of,The Sexual Politics of Meat. Give a copy to a friend, to your library, to your church, school, or office. Not sexy. But it matters!

vegetarians you need to go vegan,.
feminists you need to go vegan
es ist absolut offensichtlich, dass unterdrückung, diskriminierung und sklaverei immer das selbe prinzip zugrunde liegt. dass bei den herrschaftsverhältnissen bezüglich "frauen" und "tieren" auch noch die sexualisierung mitspielt und die beiden bereiche eng verbunden sind, kann doch keiner/m aufmerksame/n beobachter_in entgehen...
in beiden fällen werden körper und seele systematisch entfremdet - beide wesen werden nicht in ihrer ganzheit wahrgenommen.
im mittelpunkt des interesses steht das fleisch, frauenfleich und tierfleisch, lebendig oder tot.
menschen, die sich als sozialkritisch bezeichnen und dabei unreflektiert ausbeutungsprodukte (sogenannte "tierprodukte") zu sich nehmen, sind inkonsequent und fachlich in letzter konsequenz leider nicht ernstzunehmen ... denn wer in einer theoretischen metaebene zu ausbeutung und herrschaftstheorien hängenbleibt und nicht darüber rflektiert, dass er/sie selbst ein teil dessen ist ... wie weit kanns mit deren/dessen praktischer ethik her sein?!
supertolles buch!
