His “core premise” is that women should be relegated to a handful of roles in society.

Men get to have all of the rest.

THAT core premise is NOT good for children or society.

(If his premise rested on helping children, there would be no need to specify the gender of the grandparent who watches them, nor whether that person is still having periods!!!)

He did neither of those things - the host did. That he absentmindedly replied, “Yes,” doesn’t mean that’s what he thinks. Good grief, you people are nutcases.

That’s what you have? That he wasn’t paying attention to the crazy stuff his interviewer was saying and went along with it? That in and of itself is disqualifying to be VP.

I do too. Totally.

I would also like to point out that this audio is clearly edited... who knows what is spliced or missing. And, it is an article from Salon, so that makes it even more questionable.
Having said that, if advocating for having a grandparent assist with the care of a newborn infant is misogynistic, call me a misogynist. I like when he pointed out that she could have just continued working and given some of her salary to help them out, but she chose to help with the care itself.
And, I say this as someone who is currently in this exact position.... and I'm not Indian. A grandmother who is lucky enough to help with the care of her grandchild during the critical first years of development. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Talk about editing!!??

They did not say either grandparent. They referred to the one who has a uterus that can no longer carry a fetus to term, after which the person with the uterus is of limited use.

Being on a podcast with another dude talking about a woman's ability to menstruate is just deeply, deeply weird - even if it's the other guy who actually said "menstrual." Trying to explain it away as being more about the concept of grandparents generally being involved in childcare is really disingenuous.
