This "dehumanization" of women should not be directly linked to animal rights.

Humans are able to kill animals and eat them because they don't view them
as intelligent and feeling beings.

You will find most men who think of women as "pieces of meat" might also
view women as creatures "made" for their own pleasure....nothing more. This
is why some men cannot understand how a woman can be their boss or hold
important positions in a society.

This is also (in my opinion) part of the reason why a man would rape a woman.

In a similar way, most people (as in men AND women) are numb to the fact
another creature had to die for them to enjoy a kind of food that they could
do without.

While we are on the subject of "meat-eaters", human beings, by nature
are carnivors. Our innate violent behavior is because of this fact. The 
phrase "men are evil" seems to stem from the observation that human males
seem to be the "hunters" of the species, therefore more violent.

How to solve this? Will abstaining from eating beef make us a more peaceful
people?
