It could be said that our western society has an ambivalent relationship with animals - some we exploit and utilise, generally without thinking twice (chickens, pigs, cows)- however on the other hand dogs, cats, ect are associated by many with love, trust and compassion.
The work of Feminist Joan Dunyer has looked into, and exposed some of the metaphoric terms associating women with animals over their life span, for example: "a young girl is a chick or a bird" and when she's older "she has her brood, henpecks her husband and eventually turns into an old biddy". Dunyer evaluates the oppressive roots of such terms by investigating the exploitation of hens in our culture that are utilised purely for their reproductive bodies, kept in disgusting conditions. Do you think that by looking at the deep rooted meaning of terms, expresses the more problematic usage of them when labelling women?
