intersectionality and speciesism
Intersectionality is a concept that recognizes how various forms of oppression, such as race, gender, and class, intersect and impact an individual's experience. It highlights the interconnectedness of different systems of discrimination and advocates for a more inclusive and holistic approach to social justice. Speciesism refers to a belief system that assigns different values and rights to individuals based on their species. It involves treating humans as superior to other animals and justifying the exploitation and mistreatment of non-human species. Speciesism is often criticized for its ethical implications and advocates argue for extending compassion and consideration to all sentient beings, regardless of their species.
