The crazy cat lady stigma used to have a nasty sting, but it's lacking that edge now, there has been one hell of a flip. JD Vance has slammed cat ladies in media for years, but how come this insult which hurt so deeply for decades has now become almost like a battle cry which brings people together instead? Upsetting ladies and cats - this is how you lose an election, seriously, there's cat ladies for Kamala now, and I don't know if you realise this, but you're on the internet right now, and it's run by cats! Even Tim Walz came out and said it, this is just weird. Why is it that people keep on trying to treat childfree and childless people as less than, as people not fulfilling their "purpose" in life?
I mean, how many times have you rejected a guy and the comeback is "yeah? well you're gonna live all alone in your house with your cats!" like...don't threaten us with a good time, dude. Able to afford our own property and pets? Dang, we're rich!
