    You know how conservatives frequently say they dislike cats? It’s because cats can’t be trained. And misogyny (case in point: my father). They don’t like not having control. It often isn’t control they want, however, but instead abuse. Something to hit that won’t hit back.

    That’s how aggression happens.

    Case in point, I know someone in Texas who mentioned dogs breaking out a lot. They noted that many of them are pit bulls.

    A person wants a strong, obedient dog that will get the bad guy. Does that, or does that not sound like a conservative?

    Pit bulls are otherwise very loving family dogs, which seems to be genetic.

          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.
