He's saying the quiet part out loud, but it's not just the GOP who feel this way. There's a lot of misogyny in America.

I’m sorry you can’t see the difference between one’s personal views and policy views. Like personally I’d never have kids outside of marriage but I’m not trying to make it policy and dictate how everyone else lives. Personally I’m not sure if I’d have an abortion but I’m not trying to make sure no one else does either. Personally I’m not Christian but I’m out there saying my religion is better or that others should live their lives by it.

Republicans do all of this and that is why I will never never vote for one.

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.

And don't forget that this is the guy who said that people without kids don't have a stake in the future of the country. This guy 100% has a breeding fetish.

Of course he has a breeding fetish. He realizes that with Covid and general age, the GOP is losing more voters than gaining. The GOP is shrinking faster than they are replaced. He knows that with time, the party is going to shrink to the point that even the electoral college will not be enough to salvage the party's ability to get elected to national office. Trump doesn't care because Trump is going to die long before the point of no return. But Vance is young and he can see the party dying out of influence before the end of his political career. So, GOP breeding more and having more babies and children raised in conservative households is one long-term way of working to counter the issue.

lol. He has no beliefs. He doesn’t care about the GOP now let alone in 20-40 years. He is a political prostitute who sings for his supper.

Truth! Wait till he loses. He will be singing a different tune.

Hey PP how do you know that the people you are citing are Democrats (which you are implying)? Those posts you are talking about are on the non-political forums and those posters are not identifying their party membership.

Also those posters are not advocating for policies anyway, are they? They are making their own personal observations and opinions about their own little worlds. Get back to us when they are pushing for new laws and policies that say "mom should just deal with it because husbands aren't great with little kids" (sounds like a Republican to me to be honest) and so forth.

GTFO

That's wonderful but many grandparents are still working, many are infirm, many kids have moved far from home so the grandparents aren't there to help, my own parents have a little of both - my father is still working and my mother has a debilitating disease that would make it impossible for her to have helped even if the kids were still close by enough for them to help to the degree that daycare wouldn't have been necessary.

But it's nice that you've figured out all the secrets to life.

I think it would be a really nice policy to mandate for a one year sabbatical for any person who wants to take care of any other person- whether it is a child, parent, grandchild, partner, or even a friend.

Imagine how many people that would help, how many people wouldn’t be alone at the end of their lives, how many children would have a loving caregiver, how many unmarried people could have care from someone who loves them.

Still waiting for Republicans to propose this!
