* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: A bizarre meta-play ending. [[spoiler:In-universe, either it was all real and everyone stopped worrying about it -or- a single guy in Portland poisoned the global water supply and seeded the idea of werepanthers and their explicit cause worldwide. Out of universe, it's brushed off as a metaphor.]]

''Man-Eaters'' is an Eisner-nominated comic series by Chelsea Cain and Kate Niemczyk, the team behind ''[[ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}} Mockingbird (2015)]]'', and is published by Creator/ImageComics.
Described as part ''Film/CatPeople'', part ''Literature/TheHandmaidsTale'', in the near-future, a mutation in Toxoplasmosis puts menstruating women at risk of becoming violent and easily provoked wildcats. As a result, men and women have been segregated. Twelve-year-old Maude has to rescue her father, all while being thrown into the chaos.
----
!!Tropes in this series include:
* AnimalMotifs: Cats.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Obviously, {{animorphism}} isn't possible. And as far as we know, toxoplasmosis has nothing to do with menstruation or being specifically in women other than it can be passed down from a pregnant mother to her carrying baby.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: ''Man-Eaters'' does not go unsubtle about the similarities of its discrimination towards women who can still menstruate, clearly inspired by historical discrimination of minorities.
** The cover of the first issue is a cat's paw version of the Black Power symbol.
** Young girls who have started their puberty are thrown in guarded concentration camps.
** Something is supposedly poisoning the water, causing women to turn into giant cats.
** Women have to drink from separate water fountains than men.
* WasOnceAMan: Menstruating women have a chance of transforming into violent wildcats.
