I'm actually the one who took this "photo" (which is really a still image from a video). Everyone thinks the cat is jumping toward the camera, but it's actually flying backwards. My wife was being a real bitch that day, complaining about her allowance again, so I hurled her goddamn cat across the room and into the wall. I always film when I'm at home so that I have proof of what a bitch my wife is.
If there had been a man in the image, it would've been my husband. It's not so much "misogynistic" as it is "using what's in front of me."
It's also probably more humorous to me than it is to anyone outside my real-world life because none of you know what kind of person I am. To me, humor is always about subverting expectations - but if you don't know me, then you can't reasonably expect that I'm not just an actual woman-beating cat tosser. And it does hurt that I really believe that statement - that it's unreasonable to believe someone who'd say those things was merely joking - but, sadly, thus is the world in which we live. Currently.
Upon reflection, I retract my "it's not so much misogynistic humor" statement, as it is actually misogynistic. I stand by the rest of my comment though.
And, quite frankly, I think the classic idea of a "man" sucks ass, and I think that's one of the reasons I make these types of jokes - as a kind of parody of what I've grown up around.

I believed you for a split second until the second half.

That was my plan all along, and you fell right into it.

Is there perhaps a way you could furnish proof?
I’ve seen this picture for a few years and would be thrilled to believe this.

No, I was lying. I don't treat women or cats like trash; I do make up outlandish stories sometimes, though.

It is the Internet after all, but your comment seemed to be obviously satire to me. You did have me in the first half, not going to lie.

Unrelated question: do you find it odd that everyone's phones have started auto-capitalizing "internet"? I often wonder why that is.

Literally noticed it for the first time typing the aforementioned comment. It is indeed weird to me...

I knew it was satire, but I stopped appreciating misogynistic humor shortly after high school

Anyways, sorry for the bother.
