I remember reading Enid Blyton&#39;s Bimbo and Topsy as a kid, and was blown away when I realized that Bimbo the cat was male and Topsy the dog was female. <br /><br />I&#39;ve also just found an article in the NY Times stating that cat abuse is much more common than dog abuse...could be interesting in the context of associating &#39;catness&#39; with femininity, and &#39;dogness&#39; with masculinity!cratesandribbons.comhttp://cratesandribbons.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349382186889721635.post-67051074552640745962012-01-13T14:43:12.793-06:002012-01-13T14:43:12.793-06:00Thanks for the article. It immediately reminded me of the Sociological Images post about blue-coloured dog ads with pink-coloured cat food ads (my comment here http://www.gender-focus.com/2011/04/25/dogs-are-for-boys-cats-are-for-girls/) but I really liked the points you made about pop culture - Catwoman and kids movies - never thought about that!Jarrah Hodgehttp://profile.typepad.com/6p0162ff85a117970dnoreply@blogger.com
