The only men (and women) I've known who hate cats are on the internet, and they don't seem like very pleasant people in general.

Ignorant people in the Middle Ages believed cats to be evil. They tried to exterminate cats and got the Black Death as a result, as there were less cats around to control the disease spreading rodent population.

The infection rate in the UK population is only 7% whereas 61% are infected in Brazil. The strain in Brazil is slightly different and possibly causes worse symptoms in the infected person.

The US rate is 25% - - coincidentally the same percentage that is hardcore left. Not saying there’s a connection but it would be extremely interesting to see a study examine what the makeup of that 25% in the US is in terms of Democrat vs. Republican party affiliation.
