Sexist Meat? Tucker Carlson interviews a doctoral candidate from Penn State University who contends that eating meat reinforces gender stereotypes. Anne DeLessio-Parson published an article in the "Journal of Feminist Geography" after studying Argentina's "meat-centric culture." An academic journal has published an article by a Ph.D. candidate at Pennsylvania State University that argues eating meat maintains a society where “hegemonic masculinity” is the norm.<br /><br /> “I contend that in such a context, we cannot separate the ways people ‘do vegetarianism’ from how they ‘do gender,’” Anne DeLessio-Parson wrote. “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.”<br /><br /> DeLessio-Parson theorizes that being a vegetarian in the South American nation is a political act that contributes to the destabilization of the gender binary, or the view that there are only two sexes, masculine and feminine.<br /><br /> “Vegetarians defy attempts to hold them accountable to gendered social expectations,” she wrote. “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.”<br /><br />DeLessio-Parson said Jesse Watters (another Fox News Host) was slightly incorrect when he said consuming meat "creates toxic masculinity" because the phenomenon is "already there."<br /><br />
