Speaker Ryan: ‘I am sickened’ by Trump’s comments

“I am sickened by what I heard today,” Mr. Ryan said in a statement. “Women are to be championed and revered, not objectified.”

This quote shows that Ryan does not get it either. Women are to be treated with respect. Not championed and revered. At least that is how I see it. I think the statement reflects a crappy paternalistic attitude.

They only want to be respected and treated as an equal human and not as some kind of toy for a man's pleasure.

as I'm sickened by how Ryan and his peers blocked so many pieces of meaningful legislation during the past 8 years.

Any man that talks about women (in general) needing to be revered, championed, cherished, etc, is not a man who respects women as equal human beings.
