When I came across an article on feministe about being a vegetarian, as well as their link to a similar article in the New York Times, it got me thinking about my own experience as a vegetarian (albeit a somewhat loose use of the term), in an environment that isn't always vegetarian-friendly.

This time, the topic was the old, and in my opinion moronic adage, "Men want a lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets."A friend of mine argued that the saying came from the biological urge of a man needing to know that the young he was protecting and raising, were actually his own.
