So two of the females in my household have decided, sadly, that they want to get in on this whole Women Against Feminism thing. Yes, that’s right: they want to publicly declare their opposition to feminism.
Against my better judgment, I agreed to take pictures of them with signs spelling out their objections. None of their arguments make much sense to me, but, hey, they’re entitled to make their case on the internet if that’s what they want.
There’s just one little complication: the two antifeminist females in my household are not, you know, human females. They’re cats. Not being, strictly speaking, women, they can’t really post their pics to the Women Against Feminism blog.
So in the interest of free speech and fair play, I’ve set up a Tumblr blog where my cats, and other cats who share their beliefs, can take their stand against feminism ā no matter how ridiculous their arguments are.
I present to you: Confused Cats Against Feminism.
You can see the first post there now, featuring my own adorably furry traitors to their gender.
I urge you to submit pictures of your own antifeminist cats, with their own little signs.
You can submit pics on the Confused Cats Against Feminism site, post pics in the comments below, or you can email them to me here at futrelle at manboobz.com.
There’s just one rule: your cats must be genuinely confused about why they oppose feminism, and generally unclear about what feminism is.
And the ideas expressed on their signs must be their own. In other words, I don’t want any Men’s Rights Activists paying cats on Fiverr to hold their signs for them. That shit won’t fly in this litterbox!
All that said, blatant photoshopping is perfectly fine. This is the internet, after all.
And if your animal friend is something other than a cat, that’s fine too. As long as it’s possible that they might think that they’re a cat.
Also, feel free to put the word “Poland” or the Polish flag on your pictures. A lot of the women on the Women Against Feminism blog do that, for some reason.
Damn, all I have is a dog.
Now this is a project I can support:

To quote Dave:
“And if your animal friend is something other than a cat, thatās fine too. As long as itās possible that they might think that theyāre a cat.”
Myself, I have a cat, but it thinks its God. It doesn’t really care about feminism as long as the food keeps coming and the stroking on demand is kept up.
If I put Sneak in zer cat hat and give zer a sign, does that count?
David, this is wonderful! Can my mouse have a cameo appearance?

Probably not a cat, DEFINITELY not a feminist.
Can I post a pic of my mom that reads ‘I don’t need feminism because I have no idea what it is and I literally believe females are inferior to men because bad bible interpretations’? I would ask her to please dress like Cat Woman.
Excellent! All animal friends are welcome to submit pics. I figure that most of them don’t know what kind of animal they are, so from their point of view they might be cats.
GON, if you can convince your mom to dress like a cat and hold up that sign, I think I would have to post it.
This one doesn’t have a flag, but it has the Polish eagle and some kielbasa:

Whoo! The submissions are flooding in. Well, they’re coming through the cat flap and waiting for dinner.
Just going to point out the obvious here and say my cats don’t need feminism because I’m under the paw.

And feminists hate girly stuff.
@ David Futrelle – I was hoping to photoshop it. Mom owns guns!

I just tried going to the original #WomenAgainstFeminism page, but they say the ebil feminazis are censoring them! OH NO! I was so enjoying the mockery!
Because why is it FEMinist, not FELinist!?!
(Sorry, too lazy to make a picture.)

Because why is it FEMinism not FELinism!?!!? *purrr*
My two girls say they don’t need feminism because that’s just for humans, and humans’ job is to open the cans of cat chow for them.
My dog wanted to say something else.

And you probably didn’t have to pay these models, I’ll bet.
