‘America is run by childless cat ladies’ JD Vance

Is this seriously who some people are rooting for? Any woman with children who thinks they would be safe from him should know that any man who is so nasty about one group of women, usually hates women full stop.

I love how these men feel threatened when women love cats more than men.

Fifteentreefrogs · 31/07/2024 15:52

I wish it actually was

ProgressivePilgrim · 31/07/2024 15:51

I'm praying Kamela Harris is the next president. I fear for the entire world if Trump and his cronies are back in The White House.
I know I shouldn't say it, but I'm soooo glad I'm not American 🙏

He’s misjudged the power of cats and the women who love them. They rule the internet ffs.

Thiel is vile in all sorts of ways.

This is what Vance and Trumps backer, Peter Thiel, (being childless is only an issue if you’re a woman, and not a gay man like him I guess) thinks of women being allowed to vote.

The extension of voting rights to women in 1920 “rendered the notion of ‘capitalist democracy’ into an oxymoron.”

Of rape Thiel has written:

The definition of rape had wrongly been extended to “seductions that are later regretted.” He also wrote that “the purpose of the rape crisis movement seems as much about vilifying men as about raising ‘awareness.’”

Donald Trump Supporter Peter Thiel Apologizes For Past Book Comments On Rape

"More than two decades ago, I co-wrote a book with several insensitive, crudely argued statements," Peter Thiel said in a statement to FORBES.

It's such a shame that he's sold his soul and holds some very dangerous views. I read the emails he sent to a transgender friend years ago and they were so caring, it's hard to reconcile them with the man he is now.

He sold his soul to the tech billionaire, Peter Thiel, who’s a close ally of Elon Musk. Thiel and Musk have very anti democratic and authoritarian ideas, and had Vance installed as the VP (Trump likely agreed to this to get them to fund him) to further their own political causes. Most of their ideas would have very negative outcomes for average people.

Like all villains, Vance is telling us the plan in advance.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

‘The Project seeks to infuse the government and society with conservativeChristian values.Critics have characterized Project 2025 as an authoritarian, Christian nationalist, and White supremacistplan to steer the US toward autocracy.Legal experts have said it would undermine the rule of law,[16] separation of powers,[5] separation of church and state,[17]and civil liberties.’

Trump was so caught on tape a couple of days ago, telling a group that once he got in, he’d fix it so they’d never have to vote again.

This is Gilead, Handmaids tale stuff. Only nihilists, and people who believe in ‘end of days’ stuff will follow these people. Thiel got himself New Zealand citizenship so he can escape any civil war.

So America has never had a female president, but somehow it’s all still womens fault 🙄 Can men ever take responsibility for anything?

Don't forget the first rule of misogyny!!! Hmm

HeySummerWhereAreYou · 31/07/2024 13:08

Horrible, rude, misogynist comment - from a horrible, rude, misogynist!

Some men don't like women to do anything, do they?!* *Hmm Child-FREE or women with children! And they definitely don't want women to be successful!

Honestly the more we (women) advance and go forward in life, the more we seem to be going backwards! Because of the resentful menz who can't stand women doing 'MENS JOBS!'

Shoutout to the cat ladies who don't have children! 😀

MorrisZapp · 31/07/2024 13:03

I'm no sympathiser with Andrea Leadsom but she answered a question about how being a parent equipped her for leadership. At no point did she suggest Teresa May was less fit for office due to not having kids. Blame appalling journalists and headlined writers for that one, not Leadsom.

GlobalCitz · 31/07/2024 12:55

He also said yesterday "My wife is obviously not white BUT I love her and she's a great mother"

The more cat ladies the better.

He’s an absolute nut job, in way over his head.

thesurrealist · 31/07/2024 11:53

The man is totally odious, however, as a childless dog lady, I've seen similar comments about us on here and wider in society.
It is a shame that we appear to be so much of a threat to these types of men and it would be good if the people on this thread defending us, would do so on other threads about how strange/weird/selfish/lacking joy and love in our lives as well.

I am reminded of the saying I have quoted in a different context: Cats before twats.
No brainer.

Is there any man in the Republican Party in the US who isn't an odious, obnoxious arsehole?

I don't think that was Amber Rudd. I think it was Andrea Leadsom. But, yes, same point applies.

Doh! Yes Andrea Leadsom.

And according to Amber Rudd, who thought she’d make a better PM than Theresa May because she was a mother.

It's the old 'selfish' trope isn't it. If you're childless, or even worse deliberately childfree, you have no investment in the future, don't care about other people and therefore shouldn't be allowed to be in charge of things.
According to him.

They're just trying to shame single women into settling for relationships with awful men like them. They are so angry that many women are happy and thriving without them.

Yeh, he said to his mother that he didn't want to move in with her new boyfriend as it would inevitably end and then he'd have to move out, again. But he is shaming women for having a higher bar than his mother had. Sorry, no disrespect to his mother, but having just watched the film yesterday, after piecing together that he was the man who made the childless cat laty comment, it does seem like a transparent attempt to control women. Get back indoors love.

IfYouEscapeTheLionsDenDontGoBackForYourHat · 29/07/2024 18:01

I just watched Hillbilly Elegy and his ridiculous comment makes sense. His mother was struggling with a lot of shame. Eg, when JD Vance said to his mother that her new boyfriend had said something very disrespectful about her, she got angry (crazily angry) with her son!

His mother is sober/off drugs now, but you can see that outsourcing shame was the family modus operandi.

Simonjt · 29/07/2024 17:23

What will he do when he realised a cat actually runs the UK?

Crazy cat ladies are the best type of human, obviously he doesn’t like them because he doesn’t want more women who are independent to influence women who are under control.
