The first I knew of it was in the story of Greek mythology called Homer's Odyssey written in 800 B!.C!.E (in book 10 of the series) - see source link!.

Circe
!.!.!.legend, a sorceress, the daughter of Helios, the sun god, and of the ocean nymph Perse!. She was able by means of drugs and incantations to change humans into wolves, lions, and swine!. The Greek hero Odysseus visited her island, Aeaea, with his companions, whom she changed into swine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it actually came from the feminist movement - there's a long history of feminism in which different movements (suffrage, abortion, equal rights in the work place, etc) were emphasized; you can learn more about women's history at the link :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think because way back!.!.!.decades ago, men would take advantage of women!.!.Would rape and beat them when they didn't obey!. So that made them disgusting pigs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think it came from the Animal Farm, by George Orwell, but for some reason I can't think of anything else!Www@QuestionHome@Com
