Just look at this blatant burro misandry I found on Tumblr!
The Biblio-Donkey. This is an initiative by a teacher named Luis Soriano Borges, who travels through the most distant and hidden villages of Colombia to bring books to children. The male donkey is named Beto and the female is Alfa.
That’s right! Alfa and Beto! Just look at that alpha bitch burra marching along, so smug and carefree, while that poor beta trudges along behind her, forced to stare at that hot burra ass he will never have! And you just know that the slut burra is totally riding the alpha ass cock carousel.
NOTE: In all seriousness, what Borges is doing is awesome.
That poor oppressed burro!
In other news, that teacher is awesome.
Back in the 30s in the Appalachian states there was a program to bring books up into the mountains where people didn’t have easy access to libraries. It was pretty successful. The (woman) librarians would ride their horses along a circuit and exchange books with people, dropping by a central location regularly so they could keep their variety fresh.
I salute this biblioburro initiative.
I don’t know why people are saying that burra is hot. She’s is a 4, at most.

As a librarian, I am so completely taken with the idea of a biblioburro that I can’t even absorb the MRA-related content of this post. There is also a camel bookmobile, but I think this is even better.
That iniative is awesome, and i love the look on Beta burro’s face. He knows what’s up.
That’s pretty awesome actually.
Two responses; AWESOME TEACHER DUDE!
Um, how do you tell which burro is which, she asks plantively!
I’m reminded of a rhyme that my Spanish teacher taught me: “A-E-I-O-U, sabe el burro mas qu tu.” (It’s for teaching children their vowels.)
Man, that is friggin’ cool.
One of my friends actually worked with the Biblioburro guy briefly a few years ago when she was doing volunteer work in the same area! She said he was awesome. She had no comments on the burros themselves, though, so I cannot confirm their slutty/neglected status.
La burra has got chocolate smeared on her mouth.
@Falconer There was a program like that in the West as well. One of the librarians, Mabel Wilkinson, traveled around Wyoming on horseback and told a story about escaping from a terrible storm by sheltering with a poor family in their tent. They told her to bring her horse into the tent with her, and gave her a box of oats to hold on her lap so that her horse could eat over her shoulder*. I am going to immediately go to my administrators and demand either a burro or a camel, forthwith!

@ithiliana: In all seriousness, male equines have a penis sheath below their abdomens that should be visible from any angle where you can see under their bellies. I don’t know much about burros, but I don’t think they’re so different that the males would lack external genitalia. Honestly, both of these burros seem to be mares to me.
@cloudiah: Well, you got me beat. The packhorse librarians in Appalachia was a WPA project, with the blessing of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, which ran from 1936 to 1943.
Crap, I forgot my link in that last comment.
Disagree, Falconer, this picture is angled from the top down, so it’s difficult to see. The one in the rear actually looks like it could be the jenny though, since the viewing angle is a little better for that one.
Of course, this is still proof of the gynofacist femocracy, because she just has to carry some stupid light books around while he has to carry a dude. How’s THAT fair?
The Biblioburro! We talked about it all the time in library school. 🙂
Here’s a picture of Mabel on her horse Joker.
Oh, and of course I forget that it’s specifically called out that there’s a male and a female burro in the OP.
Durr.
Hey, why me no can stick pineapple in ear?
You forgot to mention Alfa’s hypergamy.
Bravo Luis Soriano Borges for bringing books to children!
Not sure anyone mentioned, but “Alfabeto” means alphabet in Spanish (and Portuguese, not that anyone cares).
It would be sorta weird to have a female donkey named Beto, wouldn’t it?
Just i case anyone is wondering, I have no idea which of the burros in the picture is male and which is female.
@Falconer: Sorry, I should have been more clear.
Offline, when I can look at actual burro, I can tell. BUt I could not tell from the pic!
*Peers at it again*
@David: OMG!
*faints and requires bonbons*
I….took you at your word!
Oh, the deceivingness of men!
Sorry, Ithiliana. Guess I should have left it at the bonbons joke.
