In the Zone
The "Arts of the Contact Zone" by Mary Louise Pratt is a speech that she wrote and presented as an MLA member. In it she analyzed a letter written by an unknown but literate Andean to King Philip III. She defines "social space where cultures meet, clash, and grapple with each other, often in contexts of highly asymmetrical relation of power, such as colonialism, slavery, or their aftermaths as they are lived out in many parts of the world today" (519) as contact zones.

Her essay is pointing these things out not only to men but also to women who might think this is all true (and let us be honest, we all know there are women like that out there). She also included a poster that says, "It takes up to forty dumb animals to make a fur coat. But only one to wear it". On the poster itself shown a woman with a bloody fur coat. Statements like that come from Animal Rights Activists, but they advocate "sexism".
The other three parts are Complicity, Pornography, and Fear and beauty. I will go through them one by one.
In the Complicity, Celia tries to explain how women that wear fur might be accused of cruelty to animals. In reality...
