#MooToo: New York University Promotes Gender Studies Paper (Of Course!) Comparing Cow Insemination to "Rape" and Milking Cows to "Sexual Abuse"

#MooToo headline from Andycanuck.

Finally. I keep saying this!

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."

According to the publication, "the dairy industry is a host for sex-based discrimination," and a "site where sexual assault and objectification based on biological makeup are highly prevalent but ignored as we choose to neglect non- humans with whom we share a planet."

Via Tim Pool, who finds this so absurd he suspects it's another Pluckrose/Bogossian Hoax (those people who got the "Rape Culture in Dog Parks" and "Fat Bodybuilding" articles published).

And sure, that's a possibility -- but.

But...

This stuff gets published all the time. That's why it was so easy to hoax them with nonsense -- because their actual stock in trade is nonsense:

"Autoethnography" means a self-reported ethnographic study of one (1) subject, yourself. This is a jumped-up way to say, "they kept a diary about things they thought and felt, and then published a 'scholarly paper' about their diary entries."

A "feminist ethnography" is pretty much the same thing -- by definition, an "ethnography" implies a study of a whole culture, but in the real world, they mean the study of a micro-culture, and by micro they mean really micro -- like "this is an ethnography of me and and my three female roommates watching The Bachelorette."

And I'm not making that up. That was a real paper. Someone was awarded a Ph.D. in Gender Studies for that breakthrough in Reality TV Research.

This research paper is an investigation into this thing called "Twitter," and what "links" are:

This paper argues that "transracialism," the insistence that you are, despite your DNA and physical traits, a different race that what you "present" as, is every bit as real as "transgenderism."

Now, I know you guys are like: Yes, that tracks. They're each just as "real" as the other.

But xhe means they're both equally real and Totally Not Delusional.

So yeah, I get Tim Pool's feeling that this must be a joke, but anyone who follows @RealPeerReview understands that these jokes are actually intended to be taken seriously.
