Misogyny and Cat Hating

Is there is a link between misogyny and cat hating? I sense there might be. Misogyny means women hating. Cat hating and women hating might go together because cats and women go together (especially in the eye’s of some men). There is a natural connection there. Also, all the cat haters I have encountered on PoC have been men. Often, they are ornithologists or bird lovers. You can see the connection there too. Cats prey on birds. If you love birds, you hate cats. Not always, but the motivation is there. If ornithologists don’t hate cats, they are prejudiced against them just as misogynists are prejudiced against women.

There might be an overlap between bird lovers, cat haters and women haters. Where a misogynist likes birds he is likely to hate cats as the diagram illustrates.

This is just an idea. What is probably fairly certain is that a percentage, say 50%, of misogynists dislike cats and some of these men hate cats. There is therefore a connection between cat and women hating.


Everytime I type misogynist, I misspell it!
