This slideshow, covering the history of patriarchal attitudes towards

highlights the parallels between the objectification, exploitation,

and abuse of women and nonhuman animals in contemporary society,

laboratories, and pornographic magazines as well as images of women

and nonhuman animals in mythology, art and cutlure at large.

They were not made for humans any more than black people

were made for whites or women for men. "
