Narrow Terminology: an Objectification of Subjects
An anecdote:
The resistance is partly endemic in advocacy movements to new terms, to altered more enlightened thinking about Animal Sapiens in Antispe terms …
I was once banned from a sociological academic group that engages in an ambiguous form of animal advocacy, because I argued that nonhumans are being objectified. An anarchist argued they (Animals) would be subjectified and that I was wrong. Perplexed I argued against that. I got booted.
One can assume that it should be clear that Nonhumans being described or named as subjects … is for instance one expression of them being objectified for a means to some animal objectifying end.
These people were not willing to make such an abstraction in their narrow focus on their usage of terminology.
