I think you're going for a glib lil' fun quip, but that really just sounds like sexism one-step-removed to me. The stereotype of the cat lady, mixed in with the stereotype of women being bad drivers. Unless there's some stereotype about men who like cats I'm not aware of?

Yes, the dose-response is the interesting bit, and strong indication for causation.
Not an expert so don't know how well we understand the mechanism of action, which is crucial.

It’s common now for people actively seeking any opportunity to be offended on behalf of someone else.
There must be some odd entertainment factor to it that you and I don’t understand.
I don’t know what it’s like to be so self-certain and absolute that I would take on responsibility of social internet police.
