probably a dumb question...

If women are described as dogs and as bitches, how come people make the kitty cat mad meow sound when women are upset?

I can't be a dog and a cat at the same time, can I?

And why does it bug me so much?

Is there a word that means "girl cat"? If so, you're right: we should be consistent. The meow/hiss is all about catfighting, which IMHO women are good at, and in my experience it's a pretty good description of how women fight. I also think, generally, that women and cats share a lot of behaviors and personality characteristics.

I thought the men refer themselves as dog. In the subways and trains this is the word I keep hearing when guys (not all)talking among themselves.
I wonder do dogs (real dogs) bother to watch cats(real cats) fight?

It is not dumb at all.

Yes, anasalwa's right--not at all a dumb question. Language is weird. People are weirder. Combine them and look at the mess we've got!
