Quote
Because milk is produced by female mammals, a feminist perspective seems to offer a logical foundation for such inquiry. From the start, feminism has been a movement for justice: at its heart is the centrality of praxis, the necessary linkage of intellectual, political, and activist work. Feminist methodology puts the lives of the oppressed at the center of the research question and undertakes studies, gathers data, and interrogates material contexts with the primary aim of improving the lives and the material conditions of the oppressed. Using standard feminist methodology, twentieth-century vegan feminists and animal ecofeminists challenged animal suffering in its many manifestations (in scientific research, and specifically in the feminized beauty and cleaning products industries; in dairy, egg, and animal food production; in “pet” keeping and breeding, zoos, rodeos, hunting, fur, and clothing) by developing a feminist theoretical perspective on the intersections of species, gender, race, class, sexuality, and nature. Motivated by an intellectual and experiential understanding of the mutually reinforcing interconnections among diverse forms of oppression, vegan feminists and ecofeminists positioned their own liberation and well-being as variously raced, classed, gendered, and sexual humans to be fundamentally interconnected to the well-being of other nondominant human and animal species, augmenting Patricia Hill Collins’s definition of intersectionality to include species as well.

Quote
In California and Wisconsin, rows of cows are lined up in stalls, with metal suction cups pumping on their teats, extracting milk; on the May 21, 2012,cover of Time magazine, a twenty-six-year-old mother is pictured, breastfeeding her three-year-old son.

Which image is more shocking?Ideologically imprisoned in a humanist colonial framework, few human mothers who breastfeed their infants use this embodied experience as an avenue for empathizing with other mammal mothers; few human parents who touch and nurture their newborns have used these behaviors’ affectionate oxytocin release as an opportunity to consider the experiences of other animal parents locked in systems of human captivity. Feminist milk studies addresses the bio-psycho-social connections produced through the behavioral and material elements of this first relationship, the mother–infant bond, and their nursing milk

For too long, the dominant culture has childishly projected its own gendered image onto nature as selfless and self-sacrificing mother, as in Shel Silverstein’s book The Giving Tree, or onto other mammal species, requiring the female bovine to symbolize maternal nature: mindless, patient, slow-moving, lactating. If we set aside this stereotype and look into her eyes, what can we see?

It sickens me that so many feminists identify as feminists instead of ecofeminists.

A tattooist at RedINC in Luton, Bedfordshire was stunned when the ‘customer’ claimed he had already paid another member of staff for the work and then used the confusion to skip out on a £250 bill. CCTV footage seems to show that an hour before that the man took advantage of the tattooist locking up a back door, he stole £1,000 from the front counter, which he stuffed into his jeans before sitting down to get his artwork finished.

Quote

A tearful Kevin Christopher Bollaert, 28, was sentenced to 18 years in prison Friday for running the revenge porn site Ugotposted.com.

The site posted more 10,000 nude photos of people without their consent, along with their full name, location, age, and Facebook profile link. Bollaert would then extort money from the victims to remove the photos.

One woman said she received 400 messages on social media after the pictures were shown. She said she was forced to quit college and seek help in a mental hospital.

"It's been so traumatic," she said. "It's a daily struggle to get my life together."

Captain America's line about having a disagreement the last time he was in Germany was the only one needed. Though it was on the nose too and could have been better written.

The old guy would have worked better if it was clearer he was resisting Loki's God-power that was making people kneel. That's how much he hates authority he can overcome Gods. And then the old guy beats up Loki and we don't need the rest of the movie.
