Response: Wrong Direction

In response to Justine Cozza's post on 3/8/12:

Rather than suggesting that society should remove the stigma from women's consumption of meat (a stigma which has largely disappeared in American society, by the way - it is simply that women tend to be more accepted than men if they choose to be vegetarians/vegans), it would probably be better than men's consumption of meat gains a stigma associated with it, and men's choosing to be vegetarians/vegans loses its stigma.  While the article we read didn't go too far into the moral implications of meat-eating, they are considerable and negative.  I do not support the idea of associating feminism with environmental concerns and animal rights, but perhaps it would be better to at least start changing gender roles with regards to meat consumption - simply in the other direction than the above post seems to be suggesting.
