Birds and Gender

Bird lovers seem to have one thing in common: they love birds for how nature made them: colours, size and lifestyles, like flying to summer climate in winter.

Gender doesn’t matter. I’ve never heard of she birds or girlie birds, just birds. The fascination is the ability to fly from tree to tree or from  Canada to the United States.

Fascination with birds is based on process, not gender. Humans divide the species into male and female to justify female oppression. Humans also have a disdain for the female shape and organs. This leads to unimaginable torture and murder.

Survival of the species is the priority with birds. There are foes out there and kids are taught to outsmart them at an early age. In the human world, baby girls are taught how to appease baby boys in order to survive. Unfortunately, baby girls now bare their bodies online in pursuit of dollars and fame.

Women's subservience worked in traditional societies, not in the modern digital age. It is no longer acceptable to say, women must know their place. It is implied. This will lead to the destruction of the human race, because despite science, women are the only ones who can conceive and give birth to humankind.

Birds do not have the luxury to say women should stay in the kitchen, because the survival of the species depends on joint flying.
