AKA rape

yeah go head as say you what the rape culture to stop.

and Keep drinking milk

This is horrible, but I’m sorry - saying that this is alike what happens to victims of rape is further dehumanizing them. This really can’t be compared.

I think you might be missing the point of what rape is here. The anthropocentric definition of rape is that it is “the unlawful compelling of a person through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse”. If we can for just one second, pretend that we are enlightened beings; we should know better than to trivialize the trials of others just because we might not experience things the same way.

Acknowledging that rape can happen to others besides humans makes it no less tragic to humans who have been raped. It only serves to remind us of the severity of all rapes, and our responsibility to do our part to end a culture that allows rapes to happen. Judging by your comment on the picture, you’re someone who doesn’t endorse rape. Hopefully with your help we can educate others about the tragedy that rape still exists in our society, and move one day closer to a world without it.

I certainly see your point there, but I just have to point out the crimes are dissimilar simply because of the difference in motives. One is about complete and total sexual dominance of a person and the other is about making money from the grocery business. Of course, both are totally and irrevocably fucked up. But one is sexual intercourse and one is not - I don’t view this photo as a diagram of sexual intercourse.

I’m not attempting to trivialize the awful way that animals are treated on a daily basis in this country and I’m not attempting to trivialize your views in any way. But I never said that animals could not be raped as bestiality is and remains to be a huge problem in the world.

It’s just that, y’know, I don’t think I can think of a way of calling forced lactation like this a rape without diminishing the very real and severe issues of not only erasure but also trivialization that human women go through.

To be honest, both share common themes. Both are carried out with a complete disregard for the victim, both are viewed by the perpetrator as “okay” because they do not view the victim as a real human, and both are played down by society. I’ll give you that.

This post has been rambling and lacking in structure, so I’ll wrap it up with a summation: The two actions have a few similarities, but differ in motive and perpetration* far too much to be compared without diminishing both tragedies.

*Dictionary.com’s definitions of ‘sexual intercourse’ are at best anthropocentric and at worst heteronormative. Because of this (and the fact that citing dictionaries is some weak shit) I shant use it as justification.
