It's fine if the cat caretaker made a mistake. And people should not criticize him/her for that mistake.

UNLESS the caretaker submits an IAnon pushing a bike agenda. Then scorn and ridicule is warranted.

I'd like to think that there was a tiny bird in the neighborhood that was stalked by this cat. And witnessed this event. The little bird told all his bird friends and the story of the giant metallic beast slaying the predator became enshrined in local bird lore.

Seriously.
Now, you can have some obsessive boyfriend who is threatened by his girlfriends friendships, but that is a different topic.

Is this new column being set up for a weekly analization of misogyny in our culture? If so, then I would hope for some better examples, for they are out there.

*reads "Hopefully now you'll decide to stop driving a car and get a bike for so many reasons including the amazing benefit of likely not killing anymore cats. "*

Really sucks that it wasn't the owner.

Someone runs to tap and fills a glass of water and hands it to the doctor. The doctor violently slaps the glass out of the persons hand.
'Goddamit! Not tap water! The fluoridated water!'
Person runs to a bottle of fluoridated water and fumbles trying to pry the cap off.
'Hurry!!!'
'I'm trying!'
The cap explodes off releasing a vapor. Fills glass and runs to give it to the doctor. Doctor administers fluoride water into dying child's mouth. The child convulses into seizure. You'd think there'd be blood but there's not. Suddenly everything goes silent.......
'He's....dead. It's too late. Too late. I'm so sorry', declares the doctor.
Everyone in the room turns solemn. Much grieving. Much crying. Much coulda, woulda, shoulda. Slowly, people begin to leave the room. It's so sad. A tragedy, the media would say. Then....
'*cough cough*' goes the young 8 1/2 yr old on the exam table.
'Wait!' cries the doctor! I think it's working! This child will live!'.....

Harry Randall Truman (October 30, 1896 – May 18, 1980) was a resident of the U.S. state of Washington who lived on Mount St. Helens and came to brief fame in the months preceding the 1980 eruption after stubbornly refusing to leave his home. He was the owner and caretaker of Mount St. Helens Lodge at Spirit Lake. The lodge was located at the south end of Spirit Lake at the foot of the mountain, and was in the danger zone at the time of the eruption.

And it doesn't fucking matter who is perpetuating it because it's total gibberish horseshit. Anyone saying otherwise is a dark scientist in a lab, and their sexual orientation or gender is immaterial. Suggesting it is a story told by straight men just brings out the mansplainers, and we need them even less than we need potentially ill-conceived jokes in an article about a real issue of misogyny.

(This message proofread by my wife, to make sure I'm not being mansplainey myself. Heavens forbid.)

Anonymous should kill herself then get a fucking car.

But she probably can't afford it with her disability check.

Suicide is the answer.
