“We’re the normal ones”

No dude. You’re not. Your running mate just gave a press conference next to a pack of sausages today.

[–] Wootz@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm gonna need a link for this.

I'm having a shitty morning and this sounds like just the thing to cheer me up.

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago

You could almost say... They're weird!

The females are getting all hormonal about wanting to be allowed to wear clothes again. They should show more respect.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 39 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I wonder what he thinks "normal things" are for women. Probably something stupid. Dresses and cooking or some other retrogressive bullshit.

I'm a woman and I think about cooking and nail polish. There's nothing wrong with wanting to eat nutritious meals and have pretty hands! Doesn't mean that's all I think about, or that all my thoughts are shallow.

I'm not attacking you or defending dumbass Vance, just pointing out there's nothing wrong with thinking about stereotypically feminine things :)

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's not defending Vance, it's pointing out that Vance is pushing an age old stereotypical image of women.
At least that's the way I see it.

[–] Jubei_K_08@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty women at their mirrors (in their gardens) Letter-writing, (flower-picking) weather-watching... How they make a man sing!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

cooking

But only cooking they're not paid for. Only men get paid to cook.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

Playing house, obviously.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 38 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

What does his wife think of these things he’s been saying?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 69 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The sofa could not be reached for comment.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Which one? I've only ever seen them refuse to comment..... Which says a lot about what happened to them.

She’s a smart woman, she knowingly signed up for this, there’s no way she married Vance and didn’t know what kind of person he is.

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

She just wants him to remember to put the eyeliner back where he found it or buy his own.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

Sharing eyeliner is how you get a sectionally transmitted disease.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 28 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I love the sarcastic title “Knower of Women”.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I bet he's got binders full of them like Romney did

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's got the same vibe as 'sex-haver'

Women do care about "normal" things, including abortion.

[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Inviter of women into the men’s room

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

Reminder that when Republicans called him out for having a Indian wife, his defence was, "Yeah, she's not white."

What a pathetic man.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

J.D Vance would know.
