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 – 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.
It’s interesting to see your idea of a “humorous” post.
Woody, what are you here for? I’m serious. You don’t seem to be enjoying yourself, nobody likes you… what’s the point?
I just read more of that Women against Feminism blog and I was shocked on seeing a few of the comments, I mean I know that they are ridiculous but Geez that’s uncalled for. It makes me really mad. I’ll stop going back.
I don’t need feminism because I already have a man who stays at home when I hunt with the girls <3 and also eating Bon bons
#Lionessesagainstfeminism
I need feminism because the lions won't share
#Hyenasforfeminism
Proberly not very good but hey I tried XD
Haven’t done this, yet:
Shut up, Woody!
He,he,he, that was fun!
Way back when I was at University (Berkeley,California), there was a satirical anti-feminist group called Ladies Against Women. It’s unsettling how many of the tropes they used to mock anti-feminists are now being used with complete seriousness by the current generation of antis.
The tumblr is in this roundup of cat news in the SF Weekly!:

I’m so happy David got two shout-outs in the media! Hopefully, that will help offset the poo being flung at him on Twitter. “Gender terrorist”??
@Phoenician in a time of Romans
Thank you for posting that video! The barking cat is hilarious and the “Oops, I’ve been caught” look is priceless.
Awww, poor little Woody. It must be sad having no sense of humour.
Does Woofy just sit there reading this blog waiting for opportunities to insert his pissy little bon-mots? That’s so sad.
He’s probably crying because he hasn’t had an opportunity to express his undying love for Pauly for a while.
Crickey, does that mean Woody thinks all the other posts here aren’t humorous. Mocking misogyny, what on earth could that mean?
I need feminism and I don’t need feminism
#SchrodingersCat
In all seriousness, what kind of pathetically misanthropic individual gets all sour-faced and irritable at the sight of silly pictures of cats holding signs? Woody is another candidate for personality implant surgery.
Can we try chip from shoulder removal and stick in arse extraction first?
Oh and bags not me. No returns.
I laughed really loudly then.
Misfeliny!
Like, it’s a cat in a box. How is this offensive or upsetting to even the most humorless person?
Well, if you’re an elf, and the cat is Greebo and he’s been stuck in the box for two irritating minutes …
Here is an interesting article on these women. Thoughts?

Then he’ll be Bloody Furious. Because of Quantum.
The trolls are kind of like what would happen if Pratchett’s elves lacked the ability to manipulate people by projecting glamor, aren’t they?
That’s the best description of trolls yet! If a Pratchett elf thought it was projecting glamour but wasn’t … hmm, sounds like PUAs, too.
Karalora, precisely!
PUAs are what happens when manosphere dudes try to project glamor and fail miserably.
The problem is because the manosphere dudes are consuming assfacts instead of TruFacts.
Puff wanted to play, though I’m not sure why… http://www.feministborg.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/x20140725-212532-77132486.jpg.pagespeed.ic.tt9_OLjcfg.jpg
(And for everyone who has asked for one, there you go, a recent pic of my not so little guy)
Oh yeah, of course the catfish come out now >.<
What’s that thing that looks like muslin on the right?
