Trump surrogate Clarence Mason Weaver on women: “We don’t care how smart you are. We don’t care how strong you are”

Right-wing pundit and recently announced Trump advisory board member Clarence Mason Weaver has said that women aren’t equal to men and that they damaged society when they won the “‘right’ to leave the home and go to work.” He has claimed that women who report sexual misconduct at work are the reason “why we don’t want to be around you in a business.” And he has told women that they should carry themselves as “handmaidens” and “be submissive.”

One of Weaver’s philosophies is that “men and women are not equal.” In a recent video about the subject, Weaver said that women shouldn’t be “queens” because “we do not look for queens. Queens is hard work. We look for handmaidens, sweetheart. We look for a helpmate out here, girl. And no king is looking to share their kingdom.” He later suggested that if a woman isn’t as strong as he is, she should “be quiet, and be humble, and be submissive.”

4. The description of him is not quite right. Okay, it's flat out wrong, at least in the sense

that he is on any advisory board that is a part of the US government. Rather, he is on the "Black Voices for Trump" advisory board.

8. What about when the economy collapses and men have to go back to work 12-16 hrs a day to make up

for the lost productivity?

I don't care how stupid you are. I don't care how misogynist you are.

[Faux pas]

9. Oh that's rich!

Men are the harassers they are the problem in the workplace. Maybe that asshole could be the eunuch who waits on the handmaidens. Works for me!

10. I just got put in Twitter jail for my response to this, which was...

a quote from an old Steve Martin joke, "Trump's Advisory Board member can Eat shit and die, you gravy sucking pig."

I appealed, referencing the quote and noting that it's pretty abusive to tell women they should be "handmaidens." Can't wait for their response.

13. THIS is what pigs like this wish they could do to us.

And make no mistake about it.

14. So no more women nurses?

No more hotel housekeeping?

No more teachers? To babysit your kids all day on taxpayer dime.

No more secretaries to do all your work for you?

No more twenty year bank tellers training your cashiers.

Men would be shouting for women.

But ok for “them”....???

Way past time to bring the wrecking ball down on these MAGAt freaks.

21. That's very christian of him.

11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
