Men/Birds, Women/Cats

Some selected controversial viewpoints. I see an interesting theme developing...



"Like fish in tanks, birds require little emotional investment and minimal physical upkeep, but are still responsive. From an investment-yield point of view, they make a better choice than a human female who needs a lot of emotional and financial maintenance, and doesn't always respond with a cheerful chirp when you want her to. Birds in cages provide distraction and solace for a certain type of men, who may have problems with real-life relationships. The stereotypical view of bird-keepers is that of a lonely elderly man with no family, who has at least a bird to keep him company. In this view, keeping birds is a way of sublimating desire for female company."- anonymous woman

"This inscrutability and natural aloofness perfectly explains the appeal of cats to a certain type of woman, and why this woman identifies so strongly with the hellforged beasts. They see in them reflections of their gender’s psychological traits, and, being cognitively biased to project onto an idealized man that which comprises their own contours of sexual desire, thus anthropomorphize the cat into the alpha male lover they wish was courting them." -anonymous man
