While I would love to see a study on this, I believe that women who over empathize with animals are women who are disconnected from their femininity.

I get this idea from the amount of women I've met or dated who loved animals to death, but were sexually abused or worked in a sex industry.

For example, I used to bang this girl regularily who had a cat she loved so much that she tattooed his name in her arm. Later I learn she was molested as a child. She was really pretty, but she always downplayed her looks, had weird hair styles, etc. etc. In a way, it's like she's wearing these weird clothes/styles to downplay her looks, and while she tried to emotionally connect with me the best she could, her cat was literally the number one person in her life. We stopped speaking after her cat died, she said she was in a "bad place" after it died.

Next example comes from a stripper/tug girl I used to know through a friend who was dating her. She had two dogs who were the love of her life, and he of course, came second. I hated those yappy little fuckers. Similar to the girl I used to bang, she was a stripper, but she had been raped. Unlike the other girl, she dressed really sexual. However, she seemed somewhat emotionally disconnected, except with her dogs.

Final example comes from another friend of mine who dated this University girl for a time. She was kind of on the ugly side, dressed like an average girl, but again, she had tons of animals who she spoke to like "babies." My friend later tells me while we were drunk, that she was raped when she went to another country on vacation. Of course, this girl seemed emotionally disconnected, and didn't deal with emotions well at all. You could never tell if she was angry or not.

So, again, what did these girls all have in common?

They were sluts.
They all had trouble with connecting with others unless they were wasted.
They were obsessed with being independent.
They craved male attention to some level, but still seemed more attached to their animals


I think this animal love is a disconnect from the realities of facing men head on. Animals provide them the assumed unconditional love they crave, and men are judgemental and dangerous. Sure they still loved sex, and they still loved male attention, but there is a block. I'm sure this block is a result of sexual abuses/traumas, and they feel like their fears of being abused again will come true if they fully let a man into their lives, so they in turn move to something that won't harm them no matter how far they get in their lives, and that's an animal.

Not to mention, I have to assume a lot of women fear the idea of having children after having been victims of things like rape, so an animal allows them that freedom of being a semi-parent without the actual human attachment of having an actual child and facing themselves in a more direct fashion.
