I bet you there are plenty that are, but either way, if it were a woman this story was about, she would 100% be framed as a "crazy" cat lady, but it's a man, so it's the situation that is "crazy", not him..
I understand that you were making a joke, and I went off it to make a serious point about the framing of the story.
I'm not the one "looking for something that isn't there".
