Why all feminists should be vegan We need to see the connection, so please take the time and be informed. Karolina Skowron, of Polish group the Albert Schweitzer Foundation, argues the historical abuse of women and animals has many undeniable similarities.

Animals and women both live in systems of violence in which their bodies serve somebody else. If we allow any group or species to be objectified we agree to objectification itself,” she said. Animals obviously can’t file a lawsuit, can’t seek help by themselves,” Skowron said. “The mechanism of violence is the same no matter who the victim is. It is caused by the perpetrator’s sense of power over their weaker victims. “To end violence against women we must end all kinds of violence because it is all interconnected,” said Skowron, who is on a battle to align feminism and the animal rights movement. While many women are victims of violence from men, females also bear the brunt of animal abuse. “Female animals are also treated slightly differently because of their sex. The tortures that they have to go through are different, they’re long lasting,” Showron explained. Female animals are commonly subjected to continued pregnancy and separation from their babies. “There’s a normalisation of rape culture. Female animals are objectified to an even greater degree than male animals because they are not only consumed, but are also used as producers, as incubators. “They live life in disastrous conditions and ultimately end up on a human’s plate as well. Should we consume the bodies of raped and tortured animals?” Objectification The objectification of women in popular culture has parallels with society’s portrayal of animals. “We women are treated as sexual objects, but animals are treated as things, as objects to be consumed or for clothing, entertainment and painful experiments...” 😢😢 https://www.totallyveganbuzz.com/opinion/why-should-all-animal-rights-activists-and-vegans-be-feminists/ by @fran_gershwing
