Vegetarian Ecofeminism

1.) When I look at the picture of the meat being cut in detail, and examine all of the components I notice that all of the cut slices have the exact same shape and texture to them. The figure is wearing a chefs hat, and has no curvature implying that it’s a male cutting the meat. Connecting this picture to the readings for this week reflects masculinity and meat eating which can further translate to women being at the root of the way we consume animals and in some ways women (i.e pornography). I can’t help but think about the fact that, yes the slices are all the same, but at the same time, it suggests that women are seen the same at the end of the day as bodies for sexual consumption and objects that can be changed if their is too much ‘fat’. 

2.) The first eating practice that I noticed, is in Deane Curtin’s piece, titled Contextual Moral Vegetarianism, where she talks about the different ways of how we relate to our bodies in relationship to culture and how we are influenced to think about our bodies in alignment with violence and food culture. She writes, “…women, more then men, experience the effects of culturally sanctioned oppressive attitudes toward the appropriate shape of the body…anorexia nervosa is a ‘psychopathology’ made possible by Cartesian attitudes towards the body at a popular level” (Curtin 1). Although their has been a change in advertising, and society is seeing more body positive advertisements rise to the surface of the market, their is always going to be adds that depict the kind of ‘sexy’ body that is deemed most accepted by men, society and other forms of oppressive forces. We also see this kind of body shaming in jobs, social media, family conversations, tv adds and so on. In malls across America, there are posters all over the stores, and skinny manikins in outfits that depict what will look best on the ‘average’ women. You rarely see any other shape in the front of the store. Victoria’s Secret and Pink also have this problem. When bra shopping the other weekend, I took one look at the front of the Victorias’s Secret store, and thought to myself “I won’t fit into any of there bra’s, they are all too ‘sexy’ and small for me…I’m 5’3 and don’t look like their models at all”. So I went to Pink instead, found a plain black bra for every day use (finally, after much searching), and left. Anorexia doesn’t just come from nowhere. It comes from our patriarchal society telling women that they aren’t good enough unless we look a certain way, thus harnessing a very dark and dangerous modeling and ‘career’ industry that forces women to look as thin as possible, only to turn around and photoshop them even further to make the cut for the next magazine.  There are more videos that are out now about the industry then their where before, but even now, all we see are women coming out at their breaking point in tears talking about how they are miserable and are struggling with mental health as a result of the industry and it’s abusive practices. 

2.) (Cont.) The second eating practice that I noticed, in Deane’s article is at the end, where she talks about how vegetarianism can be a statement made by women to show solidarity against what it means to ‘fit in’ in our patriarchal society today. She writes, “…vegetarianism can mark the decision to stand in solidarity with women. It also indicates a determination to resist ideological pressure to become a ‘real man.’ Real people do not need to eat ‘real food,’ as the American Beef Council would have us believe” (Curtin 3). I think that although this could be considered a controversial statement, I can see how to some people, this kind of solidarity is important and goes beyond being about the food that we eat and more about the critique towards men’s relationship to women as being seen as ‘meat’ to eat and animals that men get to take advantage of when they want satisfaction. Both Veganism and Vegetarianism have helped pave the way for more meatless options to become available in stores. I also think that what it means to be a ‘real man’ has changed dramatically throughout the years due to cultural changes and norms, the way that we look at male bodies vs the female body’s, and the way that we regard mens attitudes towards women regardless of the food that we eat. I’ve only known one man who was vegan for a short time, but I still considered him to be a man just the same based on my individual standers for a ‘man’. The term ‘real man’ also changes from person to person, and is not a term that should be generalized in my opinion or be compared to how much meat or non meat you eat. 

3.) Ecofeminists have a strong understanding as to how male dominated factory farms are not only run, but treat and handle non-human animals to process for our daily food consumption. Their is a shared knowing among ecofeminists, that factory farm (non-human) animals are abused, and neglected every day, fed a concentrated diet, shot up with antibiotics, artificially inseminated, and forced to grow past there natural, and biological constraints that stress out the animals organs, heart, and so on. Curtin states that, “It is curious that steroids are considered dangerous to athletes (humans), but animals that have been genetically engineered and chemically induced to grow faster and come to market sooner are consider to be an entirely different issue” (Curtin 2). I will link 1trailer below for a documentary that I have sen that directly relate to this issue. It focuses on health and people, rather than how we relate to an idea of who people are and are ‘meant’ to be. Although mostly male based, there are females in it, that speak on the truth behind how changing your diet can effect you in the best of ways, and how men have changed their relationship to non-human animals and meat for consumption.  From her article Ecofeminism on the Wing: Perspectives on Human-Animal Relations, Greta Gaard also acknowledges the misuse and miss handling of cows in the dairy industry and how they are treated as a result of industry practices. She states that, “Intensively reared dairy cows are so overworked that they begin to metabolize their own muscle in order to continue to produce milk, a process referred to in the industry as ‘milking off their backs” (Gaard 20). Factory farmers don’t perceive factory animals as having any value except for what they can produce. In this case it’s either for meat or milk. Nothing of how we obtain any of these products are humane.

    I think that everything composed was actually very logical.

    But, think about this, suppose you composed a catchier
    post title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, however
    suppose you added something that makes people want more?
    I mean Vegetarian Ecofeminism – Alina Miglietta in Ecofeminism is a little boring.
    You could peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they write article titles to grab
    people to click. You might add a video or a related pic
    or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got to say.

    Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.

  13. 随着非洲移动互联网用户数量激增,数字支付的需求呈现爆炸式增长。其中,肯尼亚作为东非地区的经济与金融中心,长期以来一直是非洲金融科技创新的代表。而在真正开展本地业务之前,“肯尼亚支付”与“肯尼亚原生支付”的搭建是任何跨境企业绕不开的一道关键门槛。

    当地消费者日常主要依赖 M-Pesa、Airtel Money、Equitel 等移动钱包支付工具。如果企业使用的是 PayPal、Stripe 等国际支付工具,会遇到汇率问题、接口延迟、到账困难等系列问题,因此,“肯尼亚本地支付”的引入,就显得尤为重要。

    在经过多方比较之后,我选择了 kenniyazhifu.xyz 提供的本地支付解决方案。这个平台专注于为跨境企业提供专业的原生本地支付系统,涵盖了包括 M-Pesa、Airtel Money、银行转账等本地主流支付方式,让用户可以用最熟悉的方式完成付款流程。

    更让我满意的是,kenniyazhifu.xyz 的售后团队十分专业,响应速度快,基本在几分钟内就能给出解决方案,

    在项目上线之后,我们平台通过 kenniyazhifu.xyz 的支付服务,用户支付成功率提升了 30% 以上,特别是在游戏充值、电商平台、SaaS 服务等场景下,本地化支付的价值体现得淋漓尽致。

    在当地开展支付业务需满足一系列合规要求。而 kenniyazhifu.xyz 已对接当地合规机构,确保所有交易在合法、安全的框架下运行,

    正在寻找一套可靠的非洲支付方案,我强烈推荐试试 kenniyazhifu.xyz 提供的服务。这是一个真正把“本地化”做扎实的平台。

    肯尼亚数字支付增长速度惊人,在这片蓝海中抢占先机的关键,就在于能否打通支付环节。肯尼亚原生支付不是可选项,而是必要条件。

    希望这篇真实的使用体验,能为其他正在寻找非洲支付方案的朋友提供一些参考。

  16. Затея — это русская игра, особенно известная среди
    малышей в сельской местности
    и на улице. Её ключевая механика — в элементе парадокса и
    проверки реакции. Главный говорит фразу «бурмалда-бурмалда» и
    затем выдаёт команды. Фишка в
    том, что игроки должны выполнять только те команды, которые начинаются с эту магическую фразу.

    Если ведущий скажет, например, просто «встать», а игроки
    встанут — они теряют очки.

    Эта забава одновременно веселит
    и проверяет сосредоточенность, внимательность
    и умение ждать сигнала. Это отличный способ организовать живо время в команде, особенно на открытом воздухе.
    В неё играют как младшие школьники, так и учащиеся, часто придумывая свои элементы, фразы и даже разыгрывая ошибившихся весёлыми способами.
