>In patriarchal societies where hegemonic masculinity implies an imperative to eat meat, vegetarianism disrupts food culture, raising questions about how vegetarians do, re-do, and rework gender. Analyzing 23 interviews in La Plata, Argentina, I find that the narratives of conversion and social pushback reported by women and men expose gender enactment and social reinforcement of the binary. At times, vegetarians compensate by drawing on scripts of femininities and masculinities that uphold difference, e.g. women cook meat and reassure meat-eaters; men make rationality-based claims and demonstrate strength. Yet in other moments, vegetarians defy attempts to hold them accountable to gendered social expectations. Women, for example, assert authority over their diets; men embody rejection of the meat-masculinity nexus by adopting a worldview that also rejects sexism and racism. I contend that in such a context, we cannot separate the ways people ‘do vegetarianism’ from how they ‘do gender.’ Doing vegetarianism in interactions drives social change, contributing to the de-linking of meat from gender hegemony and revealing the resisting and reworking of gender in food spaces.

I don't know how vegetarianism and gender choice mix up.
Then again, my country was dumb enough to almost give alimony to trans, so it wouldn't be the first time we go backwards just as we go forward

What the fuck is this? Since when in the hell was meat eating a male thing? What the hell am I reading? I feel like I've lost brain cells reading this.

No, this is just bait, you touch the meat and the mate and people will start a fucking revolution.
Everyone loves meat, cooking it, eating it, drinking it's blood, eating it's blood like a sausage..

I'm seriously starting to suspect that the whole SJW movement within academia is actually an elaborate AI experiment run by MIT. In truth, there are no human professors or academics behind any of these articles. They are all written by an artificially intelligent algorithm that was programmed to absorb Western popular culture through blogs and magazines, but was not given any sort of historical or cultural context for understanding any of it. It was then instructed to generate articles of its own, with the only parameters being that it must identify one societal problem per article, and present its own solution, inventing new terms to describe said problems as necessary by combining fragments of existing terminology.

Eating meat is neither a masculine nor a feminine thing. Women should actually eat more red meat to counter a possible iron deficiency, which they are more prone to.

I mean realistically, they could still get iron from grapes, but red meat is perhaps one of the most ideal sources for getting a wide variety of nutrients.

Vitamins could work too. I heard though that vitamins mess with how you absorb vitamins, so that may not be an option.

I tried strikethrough text on 'dicking,' but it didn't work. Now I look even dumber than I would have for the joke.

>‘Rigorous engineering education research’ and the related ‘evidence-based’ research and practice movement in STEM education have resulted in a proliferation of boundary drawing exercises that mimic those in engineering disciplines, shaping the development of new knowledge and ‘improved’ practice in engineering education. Rigor accomplishes dirty deeds, however, serving three primary ends across engineering, engineering education, and engineering education research: disciplining, demarcating boundaries, and demonstrating white male heterosexual privilege.
What the utter fuck. Feminism is literally and explicitly anti-rigor, anti-evidence.

As I keep reading more articles, each stupider than the last, it is clear to me where SJWs come from: professors in gender, ethnic, and now even "engineering studies"—which "studies" why engineering is a cisnormative hegemonic structure of white privilege and how we should "queer it."
The amazing thing, though, is that even the stupidest SJWs are actually less extreme than their professors.

feminism is part of critical theory it exists for the sole purpose of weakening western society.
the people behind the curtain of this shit know its hogwash and that their arguments fall apart under any serious examination.
that's why they use social engineering to manipulate peoples emotional triggers to make them accept this stuff without actually thinking about it.
