Dogs and cats -- a feminist (!) post

As I mentioned before, I'm a cat person. I have a theory about affinity for animals, and the way it breaks down according to gender. Men who hate cats also hate women, because somehow (subconsciously?) the feline represents the feminine. Men like this are controlling and they resent rebellion: they don't like cats because cats don't "mind." They're disobedient. The converse of this is not that men who love cats are feminine, of course, but that they appreciate the feminine. This is something I've talked about with a lot of my friends -- all of whom love cats, of course.

Why would anyone want a dog? They're obsequious.
