The GOP vice presidential nominee took aim at American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten when he was running for the Senate in Ohio three years ago.

      This guy is way too convinced that women are nothing but uteri and vaginas.

        The idea is simply that the female of the species should be considered a brood mare and nothing more. More meat for the grinder. Do these people not have wives, daughters, mothers, to give them some feedback about what they’re doing wrong? I know, brainwashed. But still.

      I think the part where you’re a fascist (defacto assumption by anyone self-identifying as a “right winger” in 2024) would make him accept you as an ally, even if you are childless, just as this little admission prevents me from ever accepting you as an ally, even if you are anti-Trump.

      Why on earth would anyone choose to describe themselves as a “right winger” (unless you play hockey)?

      Are you insanely wealthy? Or do you just hate other people and like pulling the ladder up behind you?

        Because I believe free market capitalism works given that the government regulates the market to avoid market failures.

          That’s not right wing. Do not allow right wingers to hide in the shadow of your reasonable political views by assuming their identity. Call yourself a market capitalist, a liberal, or even a Reagan-era Republican if you believe that is what your views align to and are speaking in an American context, but don’t let yourselves be used to rehabilitate the image of the right wing. They will only take that as a permission structure to hold more and more heinous views while pointing at you and others like you and saying "see, we are reasonable people with serious political positions that deserve a voice at the table. They don’t represent you, so why give them leverage to claim that they do?

        It’s always hate.

        Sort of like how atheists only disbelieve in one more God than a Christian, anti-Trump right-wingers only hate one more person than a Trump supporter.

    Like two or three generations ago, they fired female teachers who had kids. Also, he’s Catholic. I know he’s an adult convert and so mega weird — adult converts are usually just attracted to the hierarchy and lore instead of the charity and service parts — but he should at least know about nuns teaching school.

      My experience is that adult converts to Catholicism mostly do so because you can’t be married in a Catholic church if you’re not Catholic and their spouse is Catholic. Which is to say, it’s disingenuous.

    Vance’s mom was so overbearing as a kid and throughout his life he has been subservient to women. He married a woman like his mom and he hates women. All the times he’s willingly been emasculated by women at his request has finally come to light and now he wants revenge against mommy and he’s spiraled out of control.

    Vance when talking about other people’s genitals: filling podcasts and tv interviews

    Vance when talking about anything else: “how long have you been working here? ok, good.”

    People who are this weirdly repressed and creepy about sex and reproduction almost always have something very dark in their past and/or present. I will not be surprised if we find out he has coerced teenage boys and/or girls into sex or something just as fucked up.

    Vance walks the fine line between weird and creepy. But it’s not the “Autistic kid who gets mistaken for quiet kid” creepy that I and others like me have.

    It’s “If I don’t sniff your feet the world is coming to an end.” Creepy

    He’s also a venture capital tech bro who has no clue how difficult it is to raise children in a teacher’s salary. Useless marketing interns in his industry make more money than teachers.

    Many teachers don’t have kids because they simply can’t afford it.

    This guy is way too interested in other people’s reproduction. It’s fucking weird.
