While appearing on “The Portal” podcast in April 2020, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) agreed with host Eric Weinstein’s claim that “postmenopausal females” exist just to help take care of children.
Thank you! I’ve read a few articles saying the same, and it makes sense. My wife is well past menopause and has been a great asset to her children and grandchildren. I imagine such relationships were far more important to our ancestors, even recent generations.
But FFS, saying shit like this out loud, given his past statements… My god the man can’t read the room. Does he really imagine this is winning hearts and minds?!
Exactly: saying that postmenopausal females contributing to childcare is a purpose, in an evolutionary biology context, is one thing. Saying it’s their “whole” purpose is entirely another. And doing the latter in a political context? Holy shit, that’s like a Chinese military parade’s worth of red flags.
