Poll Finds Over a Quarter of American Men Think They’d Lose a Fight With a House Cat

• Masculinity in the mud.

Perhaps reflecting the state of modern masculinity, a new poll finds that over a quarter of American men think they would lose a fight with a house cat.

Yes, really.

Participants were asked, “What an animal could you beat in a fight?”

Only 74 per cent of men said they could win a fight with a house cat, leaving 26 per cent who literally think they’d get a beatdown from the feline pet.

After *THAT* Serena Williams poll, we thought we might see men overclaiming on their ability to beat up certain animals, but when it comes to the scariest (🐻🦁🦍🐘🐊) male and female responses are about the samehttps://t.co/lFhqKpyCpK pic.twitter.com/JgUZKj5YOK
