excerpts from MacKinnon’s Women’s Lives, Men’s Laws
I’ve just finished reading yet another MacKinnon book, Women’s Lives, Men’s Laws, and as usual, it’s absolutely brilliant. The book is well worth a complete read; I paste below some perfect gems.
(My used copy is marked DISCARD by the Porter County Library system. In itself, telling. Sigh.)
Reading this now. It’s heavy-going, but well …

The Sexual Politics of Meat – Carol J. Adams
Highly recommended. The title says it all.
Among a whole lot of ‘worth mentioning’, I’ll mention the reference to Irving Fisher’s study (p.43) involving meat-eating athletes, vegetarian athletes, and vegetarian non-athletes.

Another reason to hate men
“By 2050 at the latest, and ideally before 2040, we must have stopped emitting more greenhouse gases [typically caused by the burning of fossil fuels] into the atmosphere than Earth can naturally absorb through its ecosystems (a balance known as net-zero emissions or carbon neutrality).
