Vegetarianism & Ecofeminisim Part 3

One thing that really bothered me about the article is when the author talks about how men “consume” women through sex shows, pornography, and prostitution, and makes no mention of how men are "consumed" by women in the same way. The focus is put completely on men and their sexual "appetites", as if women don't have any! As if women are the pinnacles of holiness or something and men are nothing more than lustful beasts. That's just completely biased and unfair. It may be true that the sexual “appetites” of men are aroused by women in a similar way to how their taste buds might be aroused by food, or animal flesh in particular, but doesn't the very same thing happen to women? Are men not just as frequently sexually objectified, and treated as "pieces of meat"? Women can just as easily “consume” men and lust after their flesh. Both men and women have distinct sexual “appetites”, so if you want to talk about the "consumption" of women by men, you have an obligation to talk about the "consumption" of men by women as well.
