Animal Rights as Ecofeminism
(KPFA Woman's Magazine)
Why I am Taking this Class
Let me first start by saying that the real reason I signed up for this class is because I was late for class registration and this course was open. This is not to say that Animal Rights and Feminism are not topics close to my heart. I know a lot about animal rights as I was a vegan for 5 years and now mostly live a vegetarian lifestyle.
To be honest, I do not know why I stopped being vegan and started going back to being vegetarian. Hopefully this class will give me the push I need to go back to living the way I know I should be living. So as a former vegan, now vegetarian... why am I taking this class?
Feminism! I was intrigued by the course title and asked myself, "what does animal rights have to do with ecofeminism?". After the first class, I can say that I am excited to see the parallels that both of these stances have. I am also happy that this class will not only touch on feminism but other aspects that can be also related to animal rights.
Two Completely Different Classes
This semester I am taking a conservation class and it will be interesting to see how I feel at the end of the semester on both subjects as they do contradict themselves. Hopefully I will remember to blog about how I feel about both courses at the end of this Spring 2015 semester.
I will be blogging about my reactions to this courses materials and parallels I see in my day to day life.
Follow me on my journey!
