NEW VANCE AUDIO: In an interview from 2020, JD Vance agrees with a podcast host who says having grandmothers help raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.”

The point that Vance seemed to be trying to make in 2020 was that this kind of economic thinking was at the root of today’s political problems. But it’s definitely strange to hear him agree that the entire purpose of a woman who is too old to bear children is to raise grandchildren. Not only is that offensive, but it’s also dismissive of other abilities or choices that women make.
The point about Indian culture is stranger still, as if Vance thinks his experience with his wife Usha’s parents represents all of Indian culture. It is true that intergenerational households are common in Indian culture, but the podcast’s tone coupled with Vance’s previous remarks (and proposed policies) on women without children evoke a less than sincere interpretation.
Over the past few weeks, Vance has had to repeatedly explain and defend his comments about “childless cat ladies” made to Tucker Carlson in 2021. It seems this podcast will also have him on the defensive, as it again shows that he has some archaic views about family life.

This guy has so many opinions about how others should live. Women exist to make babies. Women should also take care of men. When a woman is too old to make more babies she can help other women have more babies.
He thinks Kamala is a failure because she has not been pregnant. She had been a stepmother to two kids, but he denigrates her by indicating that she failed as a woman by not making babies.
Trump wants to focus on Kamala’s physical appearance and so he comments on her beauty. He does not want you to think of her as a leader with a vision for a more united America. He wants you to judge her like a contestant in one of his beauty pageants.
Vance wants to focus on her uterus.
Neither can even comprehend a woman with her own accomplishments and merits outside of looking pretty and having babies. They are weirdos.

Today I learned that pissing off women voters is a 4D chess stable genius election strategy.

When we are in our childbearing years, our sole purpose is to bear children. When we leave these years, our purpose is still to care for children. So no matter which stage of our lives we are in, our only purpose is children, do I have that right?
Go fuck yourself, loser. More terrible takes from the least popular VP candidate in history.
