Interesting that this is the year of the ox. Do you know what an ox is?

I feel like I heard a lot about oxen as a kid, with Paul Bunyon and whatnot, but not so much anymore. It's never an animal you would see at the zoo. Why is that? Have you thought about it?

An ox is not an animal borne of God. Nothing is born an ox.

An ox is simply a bull that has been castrated. Farmers would castrate the young bulls because this allowed them to control them. It made them docile, so the rampaging bull was now a mindless worker that did as it was told.

You want to put a harness on a bull? Good luck! But once you cut his balls off and he becomes an ox, he'll do whatever you ask.

Reminds me a lot of what's been happening in our society lately.

OP, it sounds like Japanese culture would be a better fit for you. The samurai didn't castrate their horses because they thought it took a real man to ride such a wild beast. Falling off a horse entailed ridicule and demotion.
 
Lots of our beasts of burden are unnatural. Mules. Dog breeds.

Gives you a new appreciation for balls.

Mules are from breeding horses with donkeys. Not quite the same as castration.

Look, it's a hell of an interesting time we find ourselves in. We're close to celebrating the 1 year anniversary of 2 weeks to slow the spread. Everyone is just following along and putting these masks on even though they can't stop virus particles. We have been castrated by the elites and are just going through the motions. It will never go back to normal.

I feel like your first post wasn't a shitpost and this belongs on PoliGif.

Food for thought: The year of the Ox is a sign of the impending bovine furry trend that will happen this year. I can draw parallels too!
I've only seen women in cow themed bikinis. I think you specifically have to search for degenerate shit hamster.

I looked it up in Wikipedia and it says

The Chinese term translated here as ox is in Chinese niú (), a word generally referring to cows, bulls, or neutered types of the bovine family, such as common cattle or water buffalo. The zodiacal ox may be construed as male, female, neutered, hermaphroditic, and either singular or plural.
