The patriarchal gaze sees not the fragment of flesh of dead animals but advertising food
Vegetarian activities counter patriarchal consumption and challenge the consumption of death
Feminist vegetarian activities declares that an alternative world view exists
One which celebrates life rather than consuming death
One which does not rely on resurrected animals but enpowered people
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
