Animal husbandry goes postmodern

“Of course I can use a typewriter. Now get me another banana before I report your anti-speciesist bigotry to the university administration.”

Critical Animal Studies

“advances a holistic understanding of the commonality of oppressions, such that speciesism, sexism, racism, ablism, statism, classism, militarism and other hierarchical ideologies and institutions are viewed as parts of a larger, interlocking, global system of domination.”

If while writing Animal Farm, Orwell had been able to take a peek into early twenty-first century academia, he probably would have bagged the whole thing and just gone out for a nice steak dinner instead.

  1. How do I get a job writing things like that? Pure stuff and nonsense but it sounds so erudite it will fool the kiddies into taking the course. Maybe I could work on commission…

  2. Better have your PhD in hand. It takes an expensive education to write and be paid for BS of this caliber.
