    So's I understand, is the reading here that equating the gendering of humans, which is socially and individually constructed, with the sexing of animals, which is scientific and instrumentalist (for the purpose of producing and consuming the animals) incorrectly reduces the former to the latter? And could they instead be arguing that the gendered treatment of animals is also a human construct?

      Yeah, pretty much.

      Not so much the instrumentalist thing, though. Just saying that I don't think (non-human) animals can have genders, and so they can't be women, etc.
