    The way Vance talks about women, you just know he wants to take away women’s right to vote. He doesn’t even want women to have professional jobs.

    It’s a disgrace that he is a senator and the fact that he was chosen as VP candidate tells you all you need to know about the republican party.

    Vote blue

  2. [Misogynist](https://www.etymonline.com/word/misogynist#etymonline_v_30249) , I feel it helps to know the etymology of a word.

    Now, that we sorted the root of the word, we can maybe look at the root of JD’s weird obsession with what women are doing or not doing and how this is not any of his effing business and how all this relates to him wearing eye liner.

    “Weird” does not capture it.

    T gets elected, is officially declared non compos mentis 6 months later and that THAT MF is president? (Edit, sorry, not MF, of course… there was that thing about couches.)

    Amurica, how far have you fallen for that to be even a possibility?

  3. Making my own money as a female professional is very liberating. He’s mad he can’t control women through financial dependency.

    He’s got the same weird “women are just breeding pods” mentality that Elon has. So weird and creepy.

    I find him just weird, tbh.

    Ok – so supoosedly decently educated but has many views that hark back to the 50s (not sure 1950 or 1850); his wife has been heavily trolled by the racist part of maga but rather than defend her, he goes on and on like a teenage incel who wants women to act a certain way. Not sure if he can read, but he probably thinks the Handmaid’s Tale is a playbook.

  6. The childless dog lady will vote for Kamala! Where does the GOP see this going? Supporting this incel has what benefits?

  7. one_bean_hahahaha on

    Remember, it’s always projection. When he claims childless women are miserable, he is really saying he is miserable and unhappy.

    Way to diss his wife too.

    His wife has been working ever since she graduated and only quit last month when he became the VP nominee.

  9. It makes sense. Until he started running for VP, his wife worked and I’m sure she is fucking miserable.

    This man needs to be as far away from the White House as possible. He’s going to be the one in charge if dump gets elected and croaks. We can’t have that.

  11. I heard a wise person say recently, “We’re not going back.” JD sez, “Let’s go back to 1900.” JD is untenable as a politician and can’t be let anywhere near to power.

    Now that Trump is pandering to women this week should be fun to watch . What will JD do?

  12. If you want an extra dose of weird, as if this all weren’t weird enough:

    >Vance said: “This is one weird thing that conservatives don’t talk about enough … We don’t talk enough about the fact that traditional masculine traits are now actively suppressed from childhood all the way through adulthood.”

    >Assessing his young son’s habit of fighting imaginary monsters, Vance said: “There’s something deeply cultural and biological, spiritual about this desire to defend his home and his family.”

    >He connected this with a hypothetical invasion: “If the Chinese invade us in 10 years, they’re going to be beaten back by boys like you who practice fighting the monsters who become proud men who defend their homes.”

    >By contrast, for Vance, “They’re not going to be defended by the soy boys who want to feed the monsters.”

  13. As a working guy I can on most days that summarizes how I feel about work. I know he’s being a misogynist here but all I can think is “yep work is miserable that is why we call it work”. 

    For the record, before I get a Reddit cares thing, I have plenty of fun outside of work but I think describing work as the path to misery is a phrase I think I might borrow at some point. 

  14. Isn’t his wife a working woman?

    And didn’t he run away from his mother the non-working woman with a drug and domestic violence problem?

  15. Isn’t his wife a working woman? (Or was until the night before he was selected to be Trump’s VP) In which case, I think the real path to misery was actually being married to Vance.

  16. MoonlightMountain13 on

    Didn’t he just claim that all women teachers should be mothers? Which would mean a woman putting her profession over motherhood in his twisted view. Honestly, cannot keep track of all his weird, inconsistent statements. It’s like he looks for a new way to insult people every time he speaks.

    Just so it’s clear, JD Vance’s wife is a lawyer. She is as educated as he is.

    She may be miserable but it’s not because of her law degree.

    Based on the way this guy talks about women, I would not be surprised to find out he’s got a history of DV. I’m not suggesting he does, just that it wouldn’t be surprising. JD Vance does not have a healthy view of women and clearly does not consider them equals.

  19. Ill_Mousse_4240 on

    The only one on path to misery is himself. Think: when they lose the election, WHO DO YOU THINK TRUMP WILL BLAME!

  20. tangylittleblueberry on

    He found someone who was willing to let him impregnate her and thinks he’s suddenly superior to everyone else. Having kids isn’t anything spectacular.

  21. So are they proposing tax cuts and incentives to make it affordable for one parent to stay home? I’m guessing no.

  22. Javasndphotoclicks on

    It’s very confusing how women vote republican. Just don’t understand how you’re into people who want total control of your reproductive systems.

  23. It’s like he was drafted right out of the Taliban varsity, with his hatred of women, especially those who don’t have children. In an alternate timeline, he’d be angling to be a top commander in Gilead.

  24. I’m starting to understand him. He believes the best thing his mother could have done was to take care of him. He has a lot of trauma and feelings of not being loved. Now he has forced this idea that if they don’t have your own little James Donald, they aren’t living. Basically, every woman must be his mother to take care of him, or they aren’t worth anything.

  25. JD Vance believes women are good for two things. Breeding and rearing children. That’s it.

  26. TheBodyPolitic1 on

    The shit about people who complain about women working is that the same people helping the 1% made it so that women *have to* work.

  27. He’s fucking nuts man, the shit he’s said is absolutely wild. It’s literally Handmaid’s Tale incarnate. It’s breathtakingly insane rhetoric

    A part of me wonders how a person like him educated at the places he has been and worked in the places he has been ends up with this mindset. Where did the rabbit hole start for him? What was the triggering event? What was the conversation or YouTube video or TikTok post that sent him down this spiral? It’s so bizarre to watch, it’s so insanely scary for a person nominated for Vice President to say the shit he’s said out loud

  28. heretoforthwith on

    I hope he doesn’t have any women in his staff or volunteering in his campaign, because they’re just headed for misery I guess.

  29. ChiefButtfumble on

    This rhetoric works because his voters can’t think even one step ahead. Their next question should be “are we going to double men’s salaries if their wive’s stay home to raise kids?”. They can’t get that far, and that’s why we have leaders like this – because we deserve them.
