100: Childless Cat Lady
July 27, 2024. 100 days left. Childless cat lady. Finally, a political movement for me. This insult hurled at us is now a compliment. And we know, don't we? What it really means? You won't comply. Husband, children. That is supposed to be every woman's priority, where she's flawed, miserable, forever alone, bitter. But you said the quiet part out loud. And we know it's the lack of compliance, not the marital or motherhood status, or the furry companions we choose. Childless cat lady is for the non-compliant. You don't have to be unmarried. You don't have to be child free. You don't even have to have a cat. You can have a dog, or a lizard, or a turtle, or a bird, or no pet at all. You don't even have to be a lady. You can still scratch. You can still be independent. That's what they fear, that we will choose. And those choices won't include them. Those choices won't be submission. The cats are out of the bag now. Me. Yeah.
