No, women do NOT automatically have pets as a substitute for kids
This and the "cat lady" trope are just so pro-breeder and misogynistic.
Some of us have pets because want THE PET, and NOT a kid! I'm glad my cat isn't a human kid, because otherwise I wouldn't have had her!
Pets > Kids
Why is it so hard to understand for some people that we don't "inherently" want to be mothers?
Side note: Why do they think evolution made sex pleasurable? Right, because having babies isn't. Nature literally needed to TRICK us into having them.
