"I'm a Nittany Lion. I don't eat meat."
(I always wondered what a nittany lion was.)
Here's the latest wacky theory coming out of academia. A professor at Penn State claims that eating meat perpetuates hegemonic masculinity-whatever that is. As part of her evidence, she interviewed 23 Argentines who are vegetarians-probably the only vegetarians in the entire country, which produces the best beef in the world.

"Vegetarians also contribute to the destabilization of the gender binary, she argued.
“The decision to become vegetarian does not itself destabilize gender, but the subsequent social interactions between vegetarian and meat-eater demand gender enactment—or resistance,” DeLessio-Parson discovered."
