Correlation Between Abuse of Women and Abuse of Animals

Sisters' Keepers | 10.08.2009 14:23 | Animal Liberation | Education | Gender

In Australia, Japan, Spain and elsewhere, oppression of women
is correlated to violence toward animals

It is men who torture bulls in rings in blood sports reminiscent
of ancient gladiator contests.
It is men who are the vast majority of hunters and fishermen.
Men are the sealclubbers.

We are to be our sisters' keepers as well as our brothers'.
We are to be our animal sisters' keepers as well.

Men are the sealclubbers, matadors, slaughterhouse workers
Men are the sealclubbers, matadors, slaughterhouse workers


Among 12 surveyed countries Australians make
the worst husbands. NPR reported that Japanese
are the 2nd worst.

There is a correlation between the macho cowboys
of Australia with their killing of billions of cows sheep
and kangaroos... and the macho husband. In Japan
a correlation exists between contempt for the rights of women
and the rights of whales.

A new law in Spain suggests men share housework.

There have been virtually no Latino country leaders.
The macho culture of Latino countries is expressed
in bullfights in which male matadors delight the crowd
with brutal bull murders.

Animal Women


Constantina Salamone, founder of World Women For
Animal Rights:
In the dairy industry, all the captive animals
are women.

Many women who organize against rape think
nothing of stealing the milk and eggs of women
animals.

(paraphrased)

Other Women's News

Norwegian law requires that 40% of all corporate boards
be women.

One advocate of this practice has said
1. women are more likely to ask unorthodox questions
2. women are more likely to admit when they are wrong
3. women have less testosterone or competitive
noncooperation

May the women end quickly the murder of whales
and seals by Norwegian fishermen.


Mary Robinson is the first woman president of Ireland

Socialist countries led the way in women's rights www.guide2womenleaders.com

It was not until during and just after the World War I that the first few women became members of the revolutionary governments in Ukraine, Russia, Hungary and Ireland. Nina Bang, Danish Minister of Education 1924-26, was the first woman to be minister in democratically elected parliamentary government.

First female Prime Minister and President
In 1960 Sirivamo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka became the world's first female elected Premier Minister. Indira Gandhi in 1966 became the
first Prime Minister of India. In 1974 Isabel Perón of Argentina became the first woman President -
. 1999 Sweden became the first country to have more female ministers than male. 11 women and 9 men and in 2007 the Finish government had 60% women.

Henhawks
Angela Merkel, the Alzheimer's sufferer
Margaret Thatcher, and Hillary Clinton have given
the women's movement a bad name, while
in the US, the National Organization of Women
has been coopted by war promoters.
