By which, of course, he means that he would only accept this premise only if he knew for sure that women would obey him and make the “decision” he orders them to make. They are not even trying to hide it anymore.
This sounds like the same kind of pro-slavery propaganda that describes benevolent slave owners. They need white men to take care of them.
Yuck.
Welcome, time traveler from before the year 1919. I have some wonderful news!
Let’s hope that the voters of Utah help grant this poor helpless sexist’s wish.
Well, if Rep. Curtis wants “majority rules”, then women should get to make the decisions. According to the Census Bureau about 50.5% of the total population is “female persons”.
Right, he’s saying he wishes women would make this decision, i.e. he’d feel better if women would choose to become property on their own, instead of rudely causing him to look like an absolute piece of shit.
We were, until you interfered
If he meant what he said, he’d drop out and endorse a woman for his seat. Oh, he didn’t mean it that way…?
I don’t think I have ever heard a man so bluntly explain why he is unfit to hold the job he has in my life… and without any fear of actually losing it either.
Fucking disgusting.
Why is he delivering his bullshit with a huge, shit eating grin on his face? It makes it even harder to hear him over the rage ringing in my ears.
“I’m sorry, women, my hands are tied. Patriarchy, am I right! There’s nothing we can do?”
Damn, now I’m having a persistent fantasy that a group of women beat the shit out of John Curtis while telling him, “I get it. If you’re John Curtis, it stinks. I wish I didn’t have to kick you in the balls. I wish, as a woman, I didn’t have to make this decision, I wish you could make this decision. But what ya gonna do?”
Bring back the Matriarchy!
There they go saying the quiet part out loud again.
“It’s not my fault I’m a misogynist, it’s the system.”
I don’t see him doing anything to change the status quo, either, as an unapologetic Forced Birther.
So, let them!
Problem solved!
Then you won’t have to shed any more crocodile tears about denying rights to 1/2 the population.
Obviously, he regards women as non-entities that can be safely ignored.
