(Sorry for once again coming up with a "yes, but..." type of point ;-) That says little about the framework/tradition in which this is intended to happen/stand. The formulation indeed reminded me of Judith Jannberg's "patriarchal ptomaine" (can't remember exactly the book), which itself probably derives from Mary Daly talking of "necrophilia" (Gyn/Ecology, passim), who were authors widely read, though by probably most found rather aggressive (to the point of deliberately being offensive) writers, and, sorry to say (esp. for Daly), at least these 2 works didn't have too much academic qualities.
