This cat "doesn't like men."

Remember that animals rely much more on their hearing and sense of smell, and sense of "presence" than humans do. They're not looking at the male and going "oh snap, there is a man, i can has misandry."

There is probably something about male smell and or presence that makes this cat angry/afraid. Definitely not helped by the sandals-wearing butthole aggressively taunting the cat.

My recommendation would be to quit kicking at it and maybe it will chill the eff out and begin to tolerate the presence of males.

I think it's a learned behavior. If the cat was raised since it was a kitten by a woman and had very very little contact with men, of course a man is going to smell "wrong".

I own a dog that hates men(Except me) and anyone black, for some reason. I've had him since he was a puppy and trained him to do basic things(Come, sit, beg and roll)

Any stranger that's female that approaches him, he's fine with.

Any stranger that's male that approaches him, he growls.

Anyone who is black and darked skin, he will bark and growl at, even if its a woman.

Weirdest thing is I have NO idea why he's aggressive against some folk, but not to others.

There are a lot of pets that are scared of large, tall people. Very few pets are "trained" to hate men, but are more afraid of their larger size.

Also, you have to admit that guy was trying to piss off the cat. What an ass.

I'd put money on the idea that while the cat hasn't been abused, this particular person filming has antagonized the cat to where it becomes aggressive on sight.

What is the point of this link? I've had a dog who was extremely distrustful of men she didn't know, but was fine around strange women. I certainly never trained it to be that way. Animals think differently to humans, and they use senses we don't. That guy is taunting the cat, no wonder it is lashing out. This is just how animals are.
