Today I learned what an eco-feminist is, the intersection of the domination of nature and the domination of women. They have the concern of individual animals while feeling that we should not be treated like animals. An example would be the feeling of that we should not be treated like animals, but yet that means that animals are expected to be treated a certin way. A really interesting point that was presented in the article was that it is harder to come out to society as a vegertian then to come out as being gay. Now why should that be if when you are chosing to be a vegertarian to be looked at differently then coming out as being gay, which isn't a choice. It is hard to come out of the social norms of eating meat because of the social pressures of what is considered to be normal. It is often looked at as a masculen thing to do to eat meat and a womenly thing to eat veggies, but why is that? What made it so strange for a girl to eat chicken wings at dinner?
