It wasnt sarcastic. He said different variations of the same statement a dozen times. He was being deadly serious every single time. He said what he said, but rather than apologize, retract, or own it, like Trump he claims he was just joking. He wasnt, and isnt fooling anyone.

(11,203 posts)He knew exactly what he meant and why he was saying it. He was pandering to a particular audience trying to define single women that chose paths in life other than childbearing as selfish. It was obviously successful, thus he repeated it.
Now he is saying it was mis-interpreted? Own up to being a typical asshole pandering conservative politician or defend what you said, JD.

(3,210 posts)...any number of alt-right chuds on 4chan/8chan/8kun/whatever-the-hell-they-call-it-now. That "sexless childless catlady" garbage was popularized by both the alt-right and MRA/PUA "influencers" like the execrable Roosh V. Vance "mainstreamed" what was otherwise fringe commentary, and now it's been picked up by far-right media, e.g. radtrad radio (Relevant Radio) and TV (EWTN).
