Conservatives don’t like cats?
Conservatives dont like cats because they're misogynistic is one of the more wild takes I've seen lmao.
Wild take is one way to put it. I’ve known conservatives who do like cats. We should be careful here how we characterize, and not create some kind of false mythos. Like what’s next, conservatives don’t like cookies? They’ll run a bakery that won’t make a gay wedding cake, but yeah they probably still like fucking cookies.
From my experience? Absolutely. I have "family" elsewhere outright mean to their cat, just because they failed to raise him. I have an extremely close friend who has provided examples of many people (but particularly men) who hate cats, and cite reasons oddly aligned with misogyny.
Sounds sus to me.
