Why women hate the word ‘cougar’
I think the term Cougar is demeaning to women. I understand why she wouldn’t want to be called that. It strikes up an image of a horny older woman who wants to recapture her youth thru younger men. Why can’t an older woman be with a younger man because there is a mutual attraction and sometimes chemistry is timeless. Why does the woman have to be viewed as an oversexed predator.

Hi there,
I’m writing a feature for a national( australian)magazine about the word cougar, and focussed very much on why women dislike the term. It would be great if you could email me mediak@bigpond.com your background to your comment, and what name (you don’t have to be id’d) in the article, as I’m not sure which blogista wrote it. I’d also like your comments on other examples, insights made by other women.
I really look forward to your response, and would welcome any other responses.
Warm Regards
Kerrie
