30. Lol. Nancy's great. Ben Carson once told a group of politically active Republican women
Tue May 4, 2021, 04:55 PM
May 2021

at a conference televised on CSPAN that their job was to protect men from the castrating bitches on our side. The camera remained behind them so I didn't get to see their faces, but boy did I want to. I really doubt any were too stupid to realize that his notion of castrating bitches would likely include many or all of them. That's just part of being a competent woman.

And of course that didn't and doesn't represent only Carson's attitude. Misogyny is intrinsic to the RW authoritarianism that's taken over the GOP.

In fact, due to the white man's party's hostility to women with authority, women elected to the house dropped in half to a critical 13 (!!!) after 2018 and survivors were driven to claim publicly about the actively hostile work environment. It looked so bad that they arranged to get some additional women elected, including Bobert and Greene. The eventual goal will eliminate need for them, and them, in future, of course.

Itm, nonthreatening token female "leader," bimbo type, needed.
