Talk:Women and animal advocacy

A little one-sided?

This article, brief though it is at the moment, essentially suggests that the animal rights movement has been largely composed of and supported by women. That may or may not be true, but I don't see how an article on the topic of 'women and animal advocacy' can fail to mention how the most prominent animal advocacy organization, PETA, have been widely criticised by feminists for their misogynistic advertising campaigns.

Whether women's health is or would be advanced through the advocacy of vegan diets for animal-oriented reasons (other than that of 'this female animal would be better off' or 'each of these female animals would be better off') could be studied in great detail. Indeed, I'd advocate such ongoing research, but

Britocentric?

The sentence:

The animal advocacy movement – embracing animal rights, animal welfare, and anti-vivisectionism – has been disproportionately initiated and led by women, particularly in the United Kingdom.

strikes me as slightly Britocentric (to coin a neologism, perhaps). This might or might not be true (quantitative data seems to be lacking; the seemingly historical commentary seems somewhat impressionistic or temporally framed within a limited period of time). To my sense, it suggests that the movement to advocate the rights and wellness of nonhuman persons is a modern social invention of English-speaking women from England. Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, not something which springs as timelessly from within empathic human breathing as an Alexander Pope may have envisioned it. Is that so?

Ambiguous title

The title of this article seriously made me think if someone is conflating the advocacy for women’s and animals’ rights Torzsmokus (talk) 08:03, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
