Dish Sexual Identity And Gender Politics, Interwoven...

Dish: Sexual identity and gender politics, interwoven with food motifs. *Warning: The so-what may appear muddled when too many topics are addressed, especially ham-fisted and insincere segments about race. Also, do not consume raw meat/eggs. **Warning: This contains salt. What you need (So-What): ï‚   Examination of restrictive gender roles and their effects ï‚   Acceptance of your own sexual orientation and identity ï‚   Repudiation of the Midwestern tendency to accept comfort rather than â€Å"happiness† Ingredients (larger world): ï‚   Gender politics before and after Women’s Liberation ï‚   Sexual orientation, LGBTQ+ ï‚   Events of the 60s and 70s (Space Launch, Watergate, Oil Embargo, Vietnam War) ï‚   Race relations class in America (very briefly) ï‚   Eating disorders (bulimia and anorexia) ï‚   Midwestern (Minnesotan) values ï‚   Julia Child and her Mastering the Art of French Cooking ï‚   Food Description of the Dish (What the author has done): The dish is a clumsy blend of bitterness and sentimentality. The first bite is promising, but upon further consumption, the piece seems to lack sustenance and will leave you unsatisfied. It has distinctive qualities, such as an incoherent narrative that relies on food motifs to string it together. If anything can be said, this piece is unique. No other author has dared to publish such a jumbled mess of writing. The author has nothing meaningful to say about any of the societal issues that she has brought up. It’s a hodgepodge of empty words.
