Because nothing screams “feminine” like puking your guts out from food poisoning...
Well yeah, SHe was a full feminist spectrum dining experience challenging the entrenched white male kitchen establishment that had failed to provide for the critical needs of Wymen with eating disorders that the petit steaks and discrete portions that SHe addressed.
The subtle addition of emetic elements allowed for the invisible assistance of purging without the embarrassment of plunging half of ones hand down the throat or using tooth brushes or other implements. Anorexics and bulimics could relieve themselves of self punishing feelings of guilt, not to mention avoiding the accidental view of laxitives. True feminist freedom to be the elegant goddess that resides in all wymen.
It is no surprise that the hyper macho wymen hating thugs from the Health Dept chose to persecute Ms Logorhea's ground breaking venture until the threat to the patriarchal overlords was quashed.
(Three years of shacking up with a feminist author and I can write this crap falling down drunk, bwahahahahaha ;>)
