How feminist theory and gender roles are used in film, literature and society.

My Duty to Animals 

When we see an issue on television about an abused child or poor starving children in developing countires, we get all teary-eyed and demonstrate our contempt for the criminals perpetrating such crimes.  Sometimes, people do not take animals seriously.  They see them as lower species unworthy of dignity and respect.  If an animal is abused, some individuals might be squeamish or shocked, but they might not see the abuser in the same way they see a man who has murdered a child or, for that matter, another adult.  Unlike children, animals do not have constitutional rights.  They need someone to speak for them.  To say, “We won’t take it anymore!” or "We are sentient and can feel pain and discomfort to the extent of any human."  It is my social responsibility to be that voice.
