Regular readers will know I have a strong, even pathological, anti-femite streak. It’s perhaps ironic, as many of my readers are women, and I actually find most women quite charming and pleasant company. That said, I can’t ignore how terrible things tend to go when women are in charge of anything more substantial than the local church bake sale or the PTA.
With the notable exceptions—and I have to mention them because women in particular don’t seem to understand the concept of “generalization“—women are not really suited for politics, governance, management, etc. What they do really well, however, is act as the social glue that binds a community together. Again, if you want your church bake sale to be a success or your PTA to hound delusional administrators, women are your best option.
If you want to direct grand strategy and pursue a sane domestic policy, leave it to the men. Women in politics seem to boil down to “kill babies, give me free stuff!” It was Republican women in South Carolina, for example, who blocked a total abortion ban in my State; all three of them were booted from the South Carolina Senate in their primary elections, leaving our State Senate blessedly free of female meddling.
Lately there’s been some hubbub over J.D. Vance’s past comments about women, particularly his claim that our country is being run by “childless cat ladies” and the “childless Left.” National Review, the bastion of fake conservative handwringers, fumed simpishly over Vance’s comments, while not exactly addressing the substance of what he said. After all, Vance said the unpopular part out loud—the cat ladies “are miserable in their own lives and the choices they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”
Here’s Vance on Tucker Carlson Tonight when Vance was running for his Ohio Senate seat (and when Tucker was still on Fox News):
I don’t have children. It definitely makes me less invested in the world. Granted, I stay pretty involved in local politics and in my community. I’d probably be a much more serious person (and not writing reckless blog posts) if I had a wife and kids.
I’m at least relatively sane. Take a single, childless woman over thirty with daddy issues and tell her the government will be her husband, and you have a recipe for a nation full of cat litter and devoid of litters of human babies.
If you want an idea of what kind of people we’re dealing with here, watch the first minute or so of this video—or just look at the thumbnail image:
These people are hilariously clueless. At least, it would be funny if they weren’t voting.
J.D. Vance was right. Maybe it’s time to revisit the 19th Amendment.
