Question 9

Explain the following claim by Adams? “Species is gendered (animals are feminized) and gender, that is women, who carries gender identification is animalized. Man transcends species; woman bears it. So do the other animals.”

Answer 9

-“species is gendered (animals are feminized) = animal agriculture manipulates sexuality

Animals are feminized because the female animal are the ones that are important, the ones that reproduce for our “enjoyment”

The women is animalized = men compare women to “biddy” “cow” so through these terms they’re animalized

Man also transcends species because they are able to not be feminized like other species

These are all female names

Man transcends species because men are at the top of the hierarchy and woman is there to give birth and are there for male enjoyment. Animals are there for the exact same reason
