I would like to suggest that there is an intrinsic link between feminist
practices and those of real world farming practices and indeed plumbing;
that all revolve around concepts of consumption and resource control as
demanded by capitalism. That the absence of a spiritual wholeness required
by such economic systems inevitably leads to exploitation and oppression.
Thi seconomic drive offers us the luxury of choice in our meat eating and
our vegetarian habits; out of season produce all year round, avoiding the
offal if it is not to our taste. The volition of accepting what is
available with grace is a joke in a consumer society, and intensive
agriculture and grazing are equally insidious, despite being produced by
apparent polaries of demand. The revolution then must be a personal one
first and foremost; educating by example- where the luxury of choice ie
organic/ homegrown/non consumer takes precedence, being able to reject the
unnecessary and negative elements of capitalist society. At the the same
time it is important that on a spiritual level the volition to others
remains one of hope and love, in the knowledge that things will change and
that you, if none else, are doing your best....
