“Readying the Rape Rack: Feminism and the Exploitation of Non-Human Reproductive Systems”
The published piece aims at discussing the “sexual exploitation of non-human bodies, specifically dairy cows.” The author notes that “as a vegan and animal rights activist,” she feels compelled to reveal the “feminist aspects of animal agriculture,” a topic she says is unfortunately “under-researched,” but is nonetheless important because “the same way women’s health has been at stake for years, a dairy cow’s reproductive system has been poked and prodded.”
According to the publication, “the dairy industry is a host for sex-based discrimination,” and a “site where sexual assault and objectification based on biological makeup are highly prevalent but ignored as we choose to neglect non- humans with whom we share a planet.”
The paper argues that “in order to fully fight gendered oppression,” society must also address the plight of dairy cows, which it asserts are “still subjects to sex-based discrimination and violence,” despite their voices being “not always lifted or comprehensible.”

I would say that the female milk cows fare better than most of their brothers who end up in the slaughter house.
Still, the dairy industry is nasty, nasty, nasty.

The dairy industry is
The dairy industry is disgusting and heartless and massively toxic. It's pretty clear that we transmit our sexist patriarchal values on to cows as all nature, as something that we can exploit and manipulate to our liking regardless of the consequences. And yes, the nasty treatment of cows has parallels and roots in the sexist norms of our society.
But Thom, I wouldn't expect you to be able to understand that. Maybe you can find another quote?
