Childless Cat Ladies vs. J.D. Vance
In an ideal world, the choice to be childfree would not be a political one. But in a world where conservative politicians try to dictate women's reproductive choices and limit our bodily autonomy, everything about our reproduction becomes inherently political.
And when the Republican vice-presidential nominee says things like "childless cat ladies" such as Kamala Harris are running the Democratic Party, have no stake in the country's future, and "want to make the rest of the country miserable, too," we have no option but to mount a political reply.
"Childless cat ladies" all over the nation have been doing precisely that, pointing out first of all that Harris is a parent — a step-parent to two children who love her and whom she co-parents with their father (her husband) and their mother (her husband's ex-wife) — and further addressing the fact that Vance is, well, let's be blunt, a gross creep.
There are far too many responses to compile here, which is frankly terrific! We have especially enjoyed seeing the abundance of creativity in responding to Vance, who is a gross creep, in ways that are smart, sophisticated, moving, funny, and validating.
What we know for an absolute fact is that our childfree community is inspiring and full of people who value their agency and their freedom, and that J.D. Vance is a gross creep.
Who really needs to google "grannycore," because the life of a childless cat lady is GOALS, you gross creep.
