Summary of Carol J. Adams's The Sexual Politics of Meat - 25th Anniversary Edition

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first time men and women were allowed to live together was in the early days of civilization, when people were hunting animals exclusively. Five of the men, who were out hunting, let their fire go out. The women, who were careful and orderly, always kept their fire going.

#2 Men’s needs are constantly being measured and promoted, while women’s needs are constantly being overlooked. Meat is a constant for men, while it is intermittent for women.

#3 The food taboo for women is meat, and they are not allowed to eat it. Men, on the other hand, do not consider vegetables and other nonmeat foods to be women’s food, and they are not allowed to eat them.

#4 In technological societies, cookbooks reflect the presumption that men eat meat. The foods recommended for a Mother’s Day Tea do not include meat, but readers are advised that on Father’s Day, dinner should include London Broil because a steak dinner has unfailing popularity with fathers.
