<\/a><\/a><\/p>\nFeminism and Animal Rights, the one way or the other \u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cMeat\u201d is not porn and it\u2019s not sexist \u2013 \u201cmeat\u201d is flesh, and it\u2019s the result of a human\/humans killing a nonhuman animal\/animals. We should not stick our own sociological issues to such a major own concern such as Animal Rights in an analogy that sets itself so close to the subject of comparison, that the story gets one-sided and a new and important perspective gets neglected.<\/p>\n
All Animal Rights issues need an own valid terminology and frame of reference, otherwise we blur the lines \u2026 .<\/p>\n
The analogy of sexism and speciesism<\/p>\n
Two main points why Animal Rights issues can\u2019t be tied to a \u201cpurely\u201d feminist viewpoint ( \u2013 if feminism is used as excusing women from the responsibilities in society ethically towards their nonhuman environment)<\/p>\n
It\u2019s wrong to presuppose that speciesism is something that is more prevalent in men compared to women.<\/p>\n
Also, male nonhuman animals are inasmuch sexually abused in the farm industry (their reproductive system) such as female nonhuman animals are.<\/p>\n
Both points should be expanded upon in detail of course. (I do hope I can do that to a later date.)<\/p>\n
Close analogies \u2026 also of genocides and speciecides<\/p>\n
These types of close analogies in the field of -isms and abuse work in a valid way when we look at the psychology of the \u201cperpetrator\u201d who seeks to create a victim: the aspect of exerted violence share many similarities, whereas however on the side of the victimized we have to see the contexts: political, enviro-political, historical, sociological, \u2026 a group or an individual gets picked as a victim for reasons, and those exact reasons need to be analyzed under own terms, and not be conflated.<\/p>\n
