Joan Dunayer catalogues sexist words based on the degradation of animals, both domestic and ‘wild’ – and this short essay is great for students new to the field because it immerses the reader in the everydayness of gendered animalization, and the centrality of animal metaphors to ‘doing gender’. - FIONA PROBYN-RAPSEY
