Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog once again. I hope everyone is managing during this horrible time of the coronavirus. Anyways, on to the blog.
This week I wanted to talk about intersectionality within an ecofeminist web, and also revisit one of my older posts to tie in my overall ideas. Here is an example of what an intersectional ecofeminist web looks like.
One example of an intersectional ecofeminist web is from author A. E. Kings’, ‘Intersectionality and the Changing Face of Ecofeminism”, where he states, “I have always approached intersectionality as being more of a web of entanglement, than a traffic junction or road. Each spoke of the web representing a continuum of different types of social categorization such as gender, sexuality, race, or class; while encircling spirals depict individual identities.” This is a clear example of how an ecofeminist explains these kinds of webs and directly ties into the image I have included above. Another example of an ecofeminist view on intersectionality webs is from Kimberle Crenshaw’s where she states, “Intersectionality is a lens through which you can see where power comes and collides, where it interlocks and intersects.” which also directly ties into the image above.
Next, I would like to talk about the connection to 2 of my old blog posts where I talked about the connection between women and nature, and the association of men and meat. These 2 topics connect pretty well and here is why. In the post where I talked about women and nature association, we saw that women are used in advertisements for food/meat/etc and are shown as oversexualized animals or just oversexualized images in general, to attract the attention of men. This then ties into my post where we talked about how meat is seen as a masculine food and women are not to eat it if they want to be feminine. By using oversexualized women in advertisements for things such as burgers, pork, beef, or anything of the sort, it attracts men and therefore solidifies the idea that eating meat is directly related to masculinity and dominance/power. Pulled from my “Vegetarian Life” post, as stated in the article, “In a series of experiments, researchers found that after consumers experience a threat to their masculinity, the availability of a meat dish lowered their anxiety back to the level of an unthreatened control group. A flesh-free alternative presented to the threatened group did not produce the same anxiety-alleviating effect. The researchers hypothesize this effect is due to the masculinity-symbolizing power of meat. Or, in layman’s terms: eat a steak, feel more like a man”. Eating meat relates to “eating” women and they both make a man feel more masculine and like they have more power over other people. If a man has both of these things in their life, a women and a good burger, then they are as happy as can be. Just as an example, one of the most famous burger joints out there for men is Hooters, and what is their world-known theme? Women dressed in oversexualized clothes serving men burgers and other meat. It is the perfect example of women-meat association, and as I have noticed throughout my life, it is (almost) every man’s dream to go to this restaurant and exert their dominance over the barely dressed waitresses.
Hi Deanna!
Great job in including an image of an intersectionality web connecting different social categories to different forms of oppression. I like that you included the perspectives of different authors from our readings on what they believe to be intersectionality. I support both in a sense that for me intersectionality is a web connecting us all by our social categories and then those connecting social categories then taking those and connecting them to some form of oppression. For example, an ecofeminist would view the connections between women and nature and then look at the connecting oppressions faced by both women and nature. I believe an important thing to mention is that feminists and ecofeminists alike want equality towards women. They want to remove the idea that we are in a patriarchy or male-dominated society. In making intersectionality into a web, its not viewed as so much a hierarchy where we look at men and then the problems faced by men. We have these to look at the problems faced by women. It was mentioned Kings that intersectionality webs were first used as a tool to document the experiences faced by black women. Today, one can argue that these webs focus too heavily on the experiences of white, middle-class women. In order to consider ourselves even just feminists, we need to document the experiences of ALL women, no matter their race. Today all women face oppression and its important to make the connections using these webs in order to find the best way to insure it ends quickly and never happens again. I like that you included some examples of the oppressions faced by women when connected to animals. Animals are a huge factor in ecology. While ecology can include the nonliving aspects of life, it also includes the living and women and animals have been connected, compared, oppressed, and sexualized since the beginning of time I’d imagine. Great work this week! Stay safe and healthy and I look forward to your next blog.
Hey Deanna, I think you did a good job explaining intersectionality within this blog. Personally when I first learned about intersectionality I finally felt some form of relieve that there was a term to encompass the different ways not just myself but everyone regardless of race of ethnicity, sex, class, and human/nonhuman being is oppressed on a daily bases. As you mentioned within your blog women are constantly over sexualized in advertisements which refer to them as animals or a piece of meat that can be used in abused in any way a man pleases. While not all men share this ideology, it has been made very clear that we can no longer ignore the constant reminders on tv or poster boards that are oppressing not only women, but also nature. The ecofeminist interconnected perspective can also be seen in places like the Democratic Republic of Congo where war and the mining industry has distorted a large portion of fields and crops. Unfortunately, when mining damages the environment it also undermines a woman’s ability to provide food and clean water for her family while increasing her work load (OXFAM Australis). It also tends to increase poverty levels within the native dwellers in the community. Thus, it’s important to understand that this fight for equality that may have started with women stretches out to us all. I hope you’re staying safe and keep up the good work!

Anabolic steroids have the facility to compromise characteristics regarding a person’s gender.
25 mg may be administered firstly of a PCT, then elevated gradually (in 5 mg increments).
One downside with Anavar and Primobolan is that they’re expensive compounds,
particularly when shopping for pharmaceutical grade. Winstrol drugs often come in 5 mg tablets;
thus, users might use a capsule cutter to split every capsule in half.
Everybody will differ, but in most circumstances, you will benefit considerably from a
dosage of 100mg per day whereas keeping to a cycle of 4-6
weeks most. Even although technically, DHT-derived AAS shouldn’t lead
to estrogenic conversion and side effects11, Anadrol is well-known for these adverse
effects (water retention and gynecomastia, for example).
This makes Anadrol a very different person experience than the other
well-known DHT-derived steroids and is an effective cause we shouldn’t assume that each
one DHT steroids are alike.
In reality, Anadrol’s impacts on the liver
are in the end essentially the most significant threat for ladies quite than momentary virilization.
Surprisingly to some, ladies may even use Anadrol often for its muscle and energy
features and decrease risk of virilizing side effects compared to most different AAS.
But Anadrol was never an under-the-radar
steroid; you must know that before entering. If you’ve used
different DHT-derived steroids before, you’ll be
used to their dryness and lack of water retention.
In Distinction To artificial compounds, Winsol is made completely from pure
elements that have been scientifically proven to boost energy, chopping, and fats loss.
Whether Or Not you are a aggressive bodybuilder or just somebody who desires to realize their perfect physique, Winsol might help you get there.
The recommended dosage for Winstrol is 50mg per day for men and 10mg per day for ladies.
Nevertheless, some athletes and bodybuilders may take up to 100mg
per day. The cycle size for Winstrol is usually 6-8
weeks, however some experienced customers might prolong it to 12 weeks.
In small scale scientific studies, stanozolol was efficient in controlling the frequency and severity of assaults of angioedema and
in increasing serum levels of C1 INH and C4. WINSTROL (anabolic steroids) is not
effective in stopping HAE attacks while they are beneath means.
For chopping purposes, most opt for the fast-acting Trenbolone acetate.
150mg tren ace per week at the side of 60mg of Var per
day can be a highly effective combination. This combination would also be nice for
power and boosting energy with out increasing body weight all that a lot.
To give you a helping hand, we’ve selected the commonest anabolic steroids and PEDs and can focus on, in turn, if (and if that’s the case,
how) Anavar must be stacked with each of those compounds.
After reading it is possible for you to to begin out one of the best Anavar cycle in your wants.
Firstly, improved muscle definition and enhanced vascularity are sometimes noticed.
Winstrol helps reduce physique fats whereas retaining lean muscle mass, resulting in a more outlined and toned appearance.
Apart from that, hoarseness in voice and the appearance of facial hair have also been noticed amongst individuals who use Winstrol.

Many girls opt for safer, authorized alternate options that replicate a few of Winstrol’s advantages
without the hormonal disruption. Hormones heavily influence mental well being,
and steroid use can exacerbate mood disorders or introduce new ones.
Injectable Winstrol is generally not recommended
for girls because of greater efficiency and longer half-life.
When Im not within the gym or spending time away from my
household i often think about what recommendation would
help others achieve theirs goals identical to these inspired mine.
Sticking to a 6-week cycle strikes a balance between experiencing the benefits of this
steroid and lowering the risk of great adverse health effects.
When you’re endeavor a longer stacked steroid cycle, taking Winstrol for the primary six weeks and then stopping it whereas persevering with with different steroids is a well-liked
possibility for superior customers. It is a complementary stack as
a end result of testosterone isn’t a very harsh steroid, so it will not dramatically worsen Winstrol’s already poisonous
nature. However, gynecomastia is now a priority as a result of presence of testosterone, potentially inflicting hyperestrogenism (5).
Customers can reduce estrogen unwanted side effects, such as water
retention and gynecomastia, by taking an anti-aromatase inhibitor
or a SERM (selective estrogen receptor modulator). What’s more, Winsol may even enhance athletic performance by growing
power and focus, permitting you to push harder and train longer.
This is believed to be because of the steroid inflicting dehydration in the joints.
However, this type of response is extra more probably
to happen with greater doses. These days,
there are methods to get the identical advantages, with out the danger of unwanted side effects, and hang on to
the results longer. Winstrol has the unlucky capacity of
causing dangerous levels of cholesterol to spike whereas additionally
lowering good cholesterol. When you are cutting the entire idea is to torch the fats however depart the existing muscle in place.
There isn’t any want for any lady to risk changing into a she-man when all
she really wants to do is grow somewhat stronger, accentuate her pure curves
and feel and appear good.
You ought to select Winstrol because of its authenticity and sharper results.
It is more potent as compared with other products obtainable in the
market, for example, Trenbolone, and so forth. It additionally improves lean muscle mass and enhances
physical fitness, so it is best to make use of
it for physique power. Furthermore, it cures several cardiovascular diseases, including hereditary angioedema and
atherosclerosis.
