Why would anyone drink a milk shake?

If you are a feminist, dairy should really hit home for you. This is because dairy is a business that profits off of the exploitation of the female reproductive system. The entire life of a dairy cow is a never-ending nightmarish cycle of depression, torture and rape. Yes, rape. Many people believe that cows just naturally produce milk and that their udders would explode if we didn’t milk them. To these uninformed people we are actually doing dairy cows a favor by milking them. This however, couldn’t be farther from the truth.Cows produce milk for the same reasons humans produce milk. They are mammals like us, and produce milk for the sole purpose of feeding and nourishing their young. Cows must give birth in order to produce milk. But in order to give birth a cow must first be pregnant, and in order for a cow to become pregnant, she must be impregnated. This is called by the dairy industry: “artificial insemination“.Artificial insemination is done by restraining the female cow in what is known as a “rape rack”. A rape rack is a torture device created by a unappologetic vivisector named Harry Harlow (largely famous for his other disturbing creation: The Pit of Despair). This disgusting excuse for a man created this device to force male and female monkeys who had been kept in isolation their entire lives (by him) to have intercourse. He wanted to see how these poor, tortured monkeys would raise their young. The tortures he forced them to endure for their entire lives affected their social abilities to such an extent that when the female monkeys became mothers, they actually killed and sometimes even ate their own offspring

Iloveonionchutney · 30/11/2014 18:10

I love milkshakes, have a couple a week, nearly always with meals and I'm not overweight or a feminist apparently Hmm

Bulbasaur · 30/11/2014 18:11

I like that pop song about the milkshake bringing the boys to the yard, but I'm not sure what it really means.

It's actually more innocent than a lot of pop songs.

Milkshake is just slang for a woman's sexy body/sex appeal.
Yard is what you guys call a garden. But in the song it's just slang for her space where she's standing.

So it's just another "I'm so sexy and attract all the boys" song.

Sparklingbrook · 30/11/2014 18:11

Oh dear. we are all non feminist milkshake lovers. Sad Grin

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 30/11/2014 18:15

I am a feminist and I love milkshakes.

I want that on a t-shirt now, but I'm afraid people will think I'm being rude. Grin

MooMaid · 30/11/2014 18:16

Mmmm peanut butter and chocolate milkshake.

And seriously Pauline, really?? This place makes me want to piss myself with laughter sometimes which actually isn't that difficult at 6m pregnant for some reason

JamaicanMeCrazy · 30/11/2014 18:21

Um, you can make a milkshake with cow milk Pauline, and also I'm fairly sure most women are in favour of women's rights regardless of whether they are vegan you big loon

I love milkshake, me. Rarely have one though, can't afford to replace the extra milk Hmm Sad

it is good to make you think sometimes or AIBU to suggest thinking about where food and drink comes from?

Sparklingbrook · 30/11/2014 18:30

I am thinking about milkshakes. Grin

GaryShitpeas · 30/11/2014 18:33

I make the BEST thick milkshake and it's so simple

Packet of chocolate angel delight, a couple of ice cubes and a pint of semi skimmed milk

Chuck in a blender. Blend.

Amazing

pauline where the fuck did that come from ???

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 30/11/2014 18:38

And what makes you think people haven't thought about where their food comes from, Pauline?

Do let me know when you start your own thread about veganism. I'll show you how to behave, by not lecturing you whatsoever on your personal food choices. Grin

ENormaSnob · 30/11/2014 18:41

I love milkshakes.

Germgirl · 30/11/2014 18:43
