Hi folks. I'm new here and have only "lurked," as they say, until now, but
I would appreciate some clarification of terms.
What is meant by a "patriarchal concept of rights"? I have my own ideas,
but I'm curious as to whether there is some generally held notion referred to
here. Does the author of this thread refer to "paternalism" of some sort, and
should that be construed as synonomous with "patriarchal," especially when
(or only when?) referring to "animal rights"?
A more general and more difficult (at least I hope it's more difficult)
question concerns the second generalization here -- that "Feminism and Animal
Rights" are somehow incompatible. What is "Feminism" meant to stand for in
this usage? How can such a rich and diverse set of ideas be summed up as
incompatible with a just- as-diverse set of ideas..."Animal Rights"? Or is
the assumption here that there isn't that sort of diversity to be found (or
at least, not desired), and that the multiplicity of "feminist" voices and
the variety of people who hold to some come concern for animals are...what?
One more question. What does the author of this thread think is the
justification for insisting there are, indeed, "animal rights"? Is it such a
thing that would also include rights for trees? I'm not being facetious here,
by the way. I really want to know the basis for these claims.
I look forward to responses, and thank you for your time.

Hi - I'm sending this to everyone in case there are others who would like
the contact. It's a great experience for students interested in
participatory education in economics....
WWOOF-Canada lists about 250 farms across Canada in every area except
Newfoundland. A directory of available placements costs $25. WWOOF
contact addresses for other countries are also available through the
Canadian coordinator:
