NY univ. promotes paper comparing cow insemination to 'rape,' milking cows to 'sexual abuse'

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2019 4:57 am

A journal published by a New York university Gender Studies department recently put out a paper meant to call attention to the “sexual exploitation” of dairy cows.

The author argues that in order to be a true advocate for feminism, one must consider the commodification of a dairy cow's reproductive rights.

A paper currently being promoted by a New York university calls on society to consider the rampant “sexual exploitation” of dairy cows by the milk industry in order to “fully fight gendered oppression.”

Specifically, the author compares cattle insemination to "rape" and the milking of cows to "sexual abuse."

Titled “Readying the Rape Rack: Feminism and the Exploitation of Non-Human Reproductive Systems,” the paper was published Friday in a journal called Dissenting Voices, which is published and edited by the Women’s and Gender Studies program at the College at Brockport State University of New York.

The published piece aims at discussing the “sexual exploitation of non-human bodies, specifically dairy cows.” The author notes that “as a vegan and animal rights activist,” she feels compelled to reveal the “feminist aspects of animal agriculture,” a topic she says is unfortunately “under-researched,” but is nonetheless important because “the same way women’s health has been at stake for years, a dairy cow’s reproductive system has been poked and prodded.”

"Gender Studies" ?!?

Does anyone really take these Mickey Mouse pretend uni' courses seriously ?

They always seems to be a half-baked overpromoted subjects created basically to offer the monied-up, feeling-entitled and intellectually-deprived urban princesses and muddle-headed fringe dwellers an opportunity to claim that they have studied at uni'..

Sadly as seen journals are taking this crap seriously

Its why 3 people exposed how badly these grievance studies are by creating hoax ones. The worst part is, they were as bad as this and yet this is taken seriously

I don't see any journals taking it seriously. I see that an NYU student wrote a paper that cleverly merged animal rights with gender rights, to advance both causes. It's innovative and well thought out; I would give her an 'A'.

Redneck and I were recently discussing Alexis de Toqueville, and his chapter, "Tyranny of the Majority", in his book, Democracy in America (1831). The theme is that ‘established beliefs take precedence over new ideas’...hence, a tyranny of the majority in the arena of ideas.

Didge, you get the prize once again for the case in point! You are ridiculing one student's work, solely because it doesn't fit in with the (your) majority view.

Nobody is taking it seriously. There's no reason to take anything seriously, unless it makes money or wins wars. It's just one creative student's attempt at an academic argument.

You may not like it, you dusty old man, but you've gotta admit it's thinking outside the lines.

You are simple the mouthpeice and defense of the worst leftist works to come out in history that draws the worst idiocy known to concepts.
Its not a case or liking or disliking. It should be rightly ridiculed as completely irrational and unhinged

It did neither or merge both rights. Being as no such rights exist for said property. It made accusations of rape and sexual assualt the later with milking a cow. When nobody is gaining sexual gratification in these farming processes. Let alone any view on gender as how are they based on their own warped understanding of gender know the gender of the Cow?

It could be a non-binary cow for all you know.. Rolling Eyes

Hence the article was utterly iriduclous and is more based on the person being an extreme Veganist. Nothing to do with gender and hence its utterly ridiculous

I am not surrised you would give an A to something so ridiculous

Well, I thank you very much that you think I, too, am creative. In my field, that is a compliment. Modesty suggests that I not comment.

Witness your own anger. This is what Toqueville was pointing up...that new ideas always and inevitably reap anger and resistance. Aristocracy resists the rise of liberal democracy; liberal democracy resists the rise of social theory (how poignant, as Trump is screaming that socialism is everywhere, claiming it as evil). The old always tends to resist the new.

Yet, the new is the basis of mankind's progress. We would still believe in a flat earth were we to absolutely resist new ideas.

i see what you're saying, quill

you're right to a certain extent. Fundamentally, for whatever reason, many people are scared of new ideas and concepts as it upsets their own comfort zone.

ridicule and resistance certainly play a big part

on the other hand when you have a lunatic idea put forth as a theory and have university professors pondering and pontificating over it,,, well it does make me wonder where we are heading

don't you think?

The "Tyranny of the Majority". Toqueville was saying that there is a naturally conservative tendency in all humankind when it comes to new ideas. By "tyranny" he meant simply the prevalence of old, over the new. By "majority" he meant something like 'majority opinion' or 'popular opinion"--use your imagination.

There is a conservative current that flows in the waters of public thought. That's probably a good thing, as you don't want to throw out the old idea until the new idea is proven to be better. Two steps forward, one step back, is how I think of it.

But mankind always moves toward the newer and more sophisticated answers, notwithstanding the drag of conservatism. And, it's always on the left. All innovation, always appears on the left. We've gone from three tiny vessels, discovering America, to the Space Shuttle building a space station in orbit. The left ain't a bad place to be. Wink

So Quill does his usual and ignores everything I said and then everything gelico said

Hence its like debating Tommy

He then constantly diverges into yet more paranoia and complete gibberish off topic

Hence its ointless, its one sided and quill never responds to points made to him

Back on ignore until he learns he cannot control debates by ignoring constant;ly peoples points

Absolutely. All new ideas are considered "lunatic ideas" until they are proven. Give you an example (that tells you how old I am). All motor vehicles today are braked by hydraulic means. They were once braked by steel wires (like bicycle brakes today) inside protective covering. But steel wires heated and stretched, whereupon the brakes wouldn't work. Hence, hydraulic brake lines.

When Hydraulic brakes came out, Ford Motor Co. resisted the new idea with Toquevillian enthusiasm. They had a slogan:

"The Safety of Steel, from Pedal to Wheel'.

This slogan exemplified how the new raises suspicions, and the old bequeaths comfort, yet eventually the new replaces the old.

Advertisers have known this for years. They spend $billions trying to build brand recognition, so that you will feel more comfort with their brand than the new brand.

Don't be upset. **Puts arm around shoulder, and pats back** I wasn't ignoring you, but taking time to answer gelico's insightful post. This is a wonderful thread, didge. And you brought it up and started it.

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2019 5:14 pm

Well there you have it folks. Now a Hydraulic brake system is being compared to an idea that would criminalise people for milking cows, as being sexual assualt.

Yep I am struck also at the absurdity that clearly has little in comparrison. Where one car manufacturer is wary of a new Hydraulic brake system. To an unhinged extremist proposing that that milking a cow is sexual assualt

Hence why its impossibe to reason with such stupidity

Like I say until he learns to reponds to points, which he avoided throughout and not invoke his paranoia all the time with conservatism, the numpty is on ignore

Well, you have to be able to extrapolate, to think abstractly. We aren't talking about cows or brakes, they are but examples. We are talking about the relationship that new ideas have to old ideas.

I don't see much of a future for this student's paper on the merger of animal rights with feminism, but it is an example of a new idea being unfairly shouted down. She's not hurting anyone, just giving fresh thought to an old issue. Good on her.

Nobody loves a good porterhouse more than me. But, with my system, I'm a bit too old to easily digest real beef. Hate milk; love beer.

But my point about Toqueville bears no relevance to your questions. The cows or the hydraulic brakes are but examples. Don't get so caught up in examples that you lose the point of a discussion.
