Okay shit one serious rebuke to the Dudes Who Have Feelings About Cat Person: surely you noticed that on multiple occasions she is afraid for her life. Dimly afraid, but afraid. And yet you expect emotional honesty from this woman. Really?
also there were ALL KINDS of details that made the story itself specific to women (not least, you know, the genders of the characters, lol), with the obvious example being all the "is he gonna kill me" stuff? So if it's focused on women, and the reaction focuses on women...
