if meat is the symbol of male dominance, then the presence of meat proclaims the disempowering of women
It takes the notion of objectification one step further not only have we objectified the animals, but in objectifying them We take what we want from them and leave the rest out We leave their death out and then take their bodies We leave the images of their death out but take the meaning of meat and apply it to women
