Something smells rotten, and it’s not expired milk. Boston University, which is often considered in the Ivy League range for alleged academic excellence and prestige, is now offering courses on how to see meal time as an expression of LGBTQ ideology and “experience.” Because there is not a single aspect of human life that leftists don’t try to politicize and ruin.
Enjoy your pizza or pork chops in peace no more, heteronormative oppressor. Join the enlightened academics who claim to have discovered “queer food” and all its implications for turning supper into a platform for woke grandstanding and sexual perversion.
I remember once attending a book club meeting where the discussion eventually turned to opera. At one point, I countered an older woman by pointing out that the particular opera theme we were discussing did not have anything to do with politics. “All art is politics,” the Karen practically shrieked. The truly disturbing part is that Marxists not only believe all art is politics, they believe that every single part of human life should be politicized and co-opted in service of their ideology — including food.
Boston University is all-in on this Marxist revolution, as Professor Megan Elias is teaching a course titled “Food, Gender, and Sexuality.” Unfortunately, BU is not the only institution entranced with her steaming plate of garbage, because Arsenal Pulp Press published Elias' book “Queers at the Table: An Illustrated Guide to Queer Food (with Recipes),” and both Amazon and Barnes & Noble offer it for sale, for $24.95.
You might not want to read the BU course description before eating:
In Food, Gender and Sexuality, we will explore ways in which language and behaviors around food both reinforce and challenge gender hierarchies and restrictive norms around sexuality. Using frameworks developed in gender and sexuality studies, we will interrogate our contemporary foodscape through close readings of many media, including food blogs, magazines, TV shows and advertisements. The course will include reading, research, field work, discussion, and cooking to help us understand why and how food has been gendered and how the process differs across place, time, and culture.
How food has been “gendered”? How on earth does anyone take this buffoon seriously?
The course is a graduate one in Gastronomy and Food Studies, by the way. I am not entirely sure why that is something in which you can get a graduate degree to begin with, but in any case, “queer food” has nothing to do with reality and therefore has no place in any graduate major.
Campus Reform noted that federal government agencies gave Boston University $350 million last year. Obviously, that money was applied to multiple different uses and programs, but the point is that American taxpayers are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to support a university that spews outrageous propaganda at its students and calls it higher education. What on earth is the useful application of a degree where one learned how to read an LGBTQ-centered recipe book?
There is no such thing as “gendered food,” just as a biological man cannot become a woman. Prof. Elias and Co. just have mashed potatoes for brains.
