JD Vance agreed with the notion that raising grandchildren was “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female,” an unearthed 2020 podcast shows.
Vance also seemed to concur when the host suggested that having grandparents help raise children was a “weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman.”
It’s the latest in comments from the Republican nominee for vice president about women and “traditional” roles that have drawn ire. Vance has faced intense criticism in recent weeks for previous sexist comments, including his remarks about “cat ladies.”
How is grandparents helping raise your kid an “unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman”? I thought that was called “having a loving family”, so I guess I can see why that’s an “unadvertised feature”, but of marrying into a family that isn’t full of shit bags, not of a particular race.
Yep, I bet it’s a side effect of being raised in a negative conservative family and assuming all good families are like yours, because in that world familiar = good.
Need to remember that with grandparents in particular, he has a skewed view. He was raised by the parents of his drug addict mom, he doesn’t have the “normal” frame of reference and may not realize that ALL grandparents are generally expected to (and most want to, in my experience) help with their grandchildren if they can.
