      Note that this is enough of A Thing that much fewer kids were born during my birth year in Taiwan. (ancecdata somewhat supported by wiki numbers) It's enough of A Thing that tiger women often gave their age as one year older or one year younger in order not to "scare" prospects.

      There are even some that suggest barring tigers from your wedding entirely lest they bring their auras to bear and cause disharmony between the newly wedded couple. 😂

      There are LEGIT people on the internet going "if you haven't been able to have babies and there's nothing medically wrong with you, it's possible that one of your tiger friends poked their heads into your bedroom and CAUSED THE WHITE TIGER GOD TO EAT ALL YOUR BABIES".

      There's also noise about how tigers jinx their parents, their in-laws, and might lead to their husbands dying before their time... And all I have to say, is that this really sounds like the patriarchy hating on outspoken women.

      Fantastic reference by the incomparable @jeannette_ng Also your reminder that the "bogeyman" in Chinese mythology is LITERALLY "Great-auntie Tiger" who eats kids and presumably never married due to BEING A TIGER DUH.https://twitter.com/jeannette_ng/status/1109347990076940288 …

      There's this "fantastic" line in Confucian Four Books for women on "a woman is born like a mouse; it is feared that she may turn into a tiger." pic.twitter.com/QYMrEmCch3

      虎姑婆 is a Thing! Almost all kids in Taiwan of my generation grew up knowing that if you were bad, Great Auntie Tiger would EAT YOU UP and CRUNCH YOUR BONES. https://www.taiwandc.org/folk-tig.htm

      Consider tigers are held to be stubborn, authoritative, bossy, and self-confident and independent - well hell, that's a quintuple threat for the patriarchy, isn't it? And I dunno about the rest of you tigresses, but if my husband tried to be mean back in the day, I'd jinx that.

      Your reminder here that the astrologer who suggested names for me that I saw a few years ago said delicately, "well, it's a good thing you were born in modern times, because with your chart..."

      Y'all... what EVERYONE could clearly hear between the lines was "if you were born back in the day, you woulda gotten sent home in DISGRACE" and lemme tell you, man wasn't wrong.

      I'm a fire tiger with A LOT of metal in my chart - pretty much the equivalent of being a little walking armory, and dude was like - maybe we should add a LOTTA water to your name? 😂

      This is amazing; I am also a fire tiger, and I think I was born around midnight! Which is hilarious in contrast to my Western zodiac sign, where I’m a Pisces and therefore meant to be dreamy, passive and empathetic 😂😂😂

          LOL, same tbh. Have you ever seen that video of the one tiger chilling in a pool and then getting pounced on by his sibling? It me. I am both those tigers.
