Vance Runs From Resurfaced Podcast Chat About ‘Postmenopausal’ Women
In a newly resurfaced clip, Donald Trump’s running mate seemingly agreed with host Eric Weinstein that “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female” is to help raise children.

I dont like this person but to be fair I sometimes say yep by accident to something when chatting with people. On an anthropological level, I think grandparents (and I guess post-menopausa women) serve a role for helping raise children, along with other things. Idk I expected it to be worse from this guy haha
along with other things.
See, that's the problem, you have to make up things to soften the statement that JD Vance was agreeing with. What the host, Eric Weinstein, said was “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female,” is to help raise children. There was no concession that postmenopausal women serve any other function than raising grandchildren. Stop trying to make it seem reasonable.
Idk I expected it to be worse from this guy haha
Again, it's because you made up a reason to pretend what he was agreeing with was a reasonable position.
Me accidentally saying "yep" to that would be followed by a "wait, fucking no." Also I wouldn't be on a podcast with dimwits who have bigoted conceptions like that.
And then you just let it lie? Sure sometimes you ignore what a boss says because they have an unreasonable hold over your life, or that douche at the store who you just don’t want to have a fight with, but this asshole was on a podcast trying to act like a big important whatever and didn’t walk it back or anything.
If this ain’t that bad then buddy you gotta do some soul-searching.
Far out I hoped to create a discussion by giving a more centrist view, and i like your points, but you lot are for sure attacking me personally with those closing words. Bringing back reddit ptsd 😢
I don't think there is much room for compromising - by providing a more "centrist" view - with the highly misogynistic position that Vance stands behind. And that is why other responders disagree with your point.
Thanks I much prefer your response style it is assertive and not directed at me but rather my comment. You also make a good point that I didnt consider because although im left, im from Australia so don't get the full picture.
Ah, that's interesting - thanks for sharing that. Have a good day!
It's funny you mention Reddit because there was a subreddit dedicated to making fun of shit "centrist" takes like yours: https://www.reddit.com/r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM/.
The fact is that politics in the US is skewed so far to the right that the options are center-right (Democrats) or far, extremist right (Republicans).
