Should we ban cruelty to women?

Seriously wonder if women got paid better if they'd be considered for protection like animal welfare and removed off have sex list. This way women get protected for not having sex, even get protected by other women who fight for women's earning potential

Not wanting to state the obvious, but you can't compare women's rights to animal testing. Animals around the world are subject to unimaginable levels of cruelty in the name of women's cosmetics, clothing, testing medicines or having a nice dinner. I have wanted several times in my life to avoid animal products but in this day and age its impossible. But we can reduce our consumption if we are educated to know what to look for.

Shout out to Temple Grandin who has helped reduce suffering for US cattle before they are sent to abattoirs.

So are many people including women. The stats on gender-based violence are not good.

I acknowledge that, but my point is its inappropriate to compare animal suffering with gender based violence.

And my point is that it is not inappropriate at least not for the reason you suggested. People, including women, are subject to unimaginable cruelty. We should be striving for a more humane society for all animals, including Homo sapiens.

If the thread is framed that way then yes, I have no problem. I think perhaps the OP was heading in that direction (I don't really know) but I will give her the benefit of doubt.

Honestly it was published known that animal testing wasn't necessary as it's not hardly related to humans, why Biden admin did this is beyond me.



I love these rabbits, they're so cuddly. Only fur coat I'd wear is hug from one of these, but suppose don't live in freezing Iberia
