Vance: Women With Careers “Choose Path To Misery”

The Guardian reports:

Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, said that professional women “choose a path to misery” when they prioritize careers over having children in a September 2021 podcast interview in which he also claimed men in America were “suppressed” in their masculinity.

The Ohio senator and vice-presidential candidate said of women like his classmates at Yale Law School that “pursuing racial or gender equity is like the value system that gives their life meaning … [but] they all find that that value system leads to misery”.

Vance also sideswiped the Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a one-time Somali refugee, claiming she had shown “ingratitude” to America, and that she “would be living in a craphole” had she not moved to the US.

Media Matters reports:

Vance was appearing on the September 20, 2021, edition of the Moment of Truth podcast, which is run by the conservative organization American Moment. Around the time of the podcast, Vance was a member of the group’s board of advisors. He is currently a board member emeritus for the group. American Moment is an organizational partner for Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-led plan to provide staffing and policy priorities for the next Republican administration.

Vance, talking about women in careers: “OK, clearly, this value set has made me a miserable person who can’t have kids because I already passed the biological period when it was possible.”

What a disgrace this guy is. https://t.co/ZV8T4Jro7B
