I wish JD Vance and MAGA folks would stop being so condescending to Americans who choose to make different life choices than they would make.

J.D. Vance: Women Who Prioritize Careers Over Having Children “Choose A Path To Misery.”

JD Vance’s Controversial Views on Women and Masculinity Resurface Amid Vice-Presidential Run

JD Vance, the current Ohio Senator and Donald Trump’s running mate, has sparked renewed controversy with comments from a September 2021 podcast interview. In this conversation, Vance asserted that professional women who prioritize their careers over having children “choose a path to misery.” He also claimed that American men were being “suppressed” in their masculinity. These remarks have reignited debates about Vance’s views on gender roles and their potential impact on the Republican ticket, as reported by The Guardian.

In the interview, Vance criticized women, particularly those from elite institutions like Yale Law School, for adopting a value system focused on career success and gender equity. He argued that this pursuit often leads to dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Vance’s statements reflect a broader pattern of controversial remarks that have emerged since his selection as Trump’s vice-presidential candidate.

Criticism and Repercussions
Vance’s comments have not gone unnoticed. Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota congresswoman and former Somali refugee, responded sharply to his remarks. She described his rhetoric as “ignorant and xenophobic,” adding that such language is “dangerous and un-American.” Omar’s response highlights the broader implications of Vance’s comments, particularly his critique of women’s roles in society and his views on immigration.

Since his vice-presidential nomination, Vance has faced increased scrutiny over his past statements, particularly those concerning women. Recently, his campaign encountered backlash over previous comments in which he criticized a teachers’ union president for not having children and referred to Democratic leaders as “childless cat ladies.” These comments have complicated the Trump campaign’s efforts to appeal to suburban women, a crucial demographic in the upcoming election.

1. It's time to move on from the couch business and start going with a caveman motif for this loser.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Hey JD! I've met plenty of women who married and had children and

had "paths to misery" which include my mother and her sister.

That's why I'm happily single, childless, and free of an Overlord.

5. Hey JD You Hateful Asswit

The only path to misery for women is ELECTING YOU to OFFICE!

[Rebl2]

12. Oh so true!

[SamKnause]

6. Looking at, hearing, or spending time with you would lead to certain misery.

You are a piss poor father.

I hope when your daughter grows up that she has nothing to do with you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your hatred for women is sickening.

7. There is an old term for him, 'male chauvinist pig'..

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Yo JD! Some women are just NOT cut out to be MOTHERS!

NOTHING wrong with that!

Pissing off over 50% of the voting electorate is not a winning strategy. The more this asshole denigrates women, the more they will vote for Kamala. She TRUSTS women!

10. Odd

The women who were the most miserable when I was growing up were married women with children.

At the upscale neighborhood where I lived, over half of the housewives with kids were either passed-out-by-prime-time alcoholics or hooked on downers and/or uppers.

Or both.

Their kids all but lived at our house, because they said we were the closest thing to the mythical happy family that they knew of, never mind how my mom was a doctor who worked very long hours. Funny, working in a rewarding career made her quite happy. So happy that she didn't need prescription drugs to get through her busy day, and she drank alcohol only at parties on the weekend.

Meanwhile, the junkie housewives looked down on her, and said she had to be a bad wife and mother, because she'd (gasp!) been divorced in the past and (yikes!) not only worked, but also (horror of horrors!) had a CAREER. Evil slut, for sure!

That's really how other women treated my mother for daring to live life on her terms, no one else's.
