Gender, gender ideology, and animal rights advocacy.Charlotte C. Dunham, Nancy J. Bell & Charles W. Peek - 1996 - Gender and Society 10 (4):464-478.details Research on women's preponderance among animal rights advocates explains it exclusively as a product of women's socialization, emphasizing a relational orientation of care and nurturing that extends to animals. The authors propose a more structural explanation: Women's experiences with structural oppression make them more disposed to egalitarian ideology, which creates concern for animal rights. Using data from a 1993 national sample, the authors find that an egalitarian gender ideology is a key difference in women's and men's routes to animal rights (...)
