What is the Stupidest Thing a Man Has Said About a Woman?
One Guy Said All These Stupid Things
This is a question asked on Quora. I now share my answer here with you, dear reader!
I heard a presidential nominee in 2016 say that women need to be punished for having an abortion.
“There has to be some form of punishment,” said he.
And then MILLIONS of people voted for that guy. Even though he lost the popular vote, due to voting suppression, election interference, excessive gerrymandering and the archaic electoral college, he ended up “winning” and then “served” as “president” for four long and agonizing years as the world fell apart (tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy, Covid pandemic and oh yeah - he orchestrated an INSURRECTION. My husband and I witnessed it live on television and we know what we saw.
And now he’s running again? The grossest, most misogynistic and allegedly foulest-smelling man on the planet who is also a convicted RAPIST. (What do his cult members see in him?)

So are we seeing a theme here? Ladies, and the men who love us? Are you with me?
I will do everything in my power to prevent him from worming his way back into the White House in 2024. He is a clear and present danger not only to Democracy, but to women everywhere. After all, he is the one who installed three “Just-uses” who took it upon themselves to reverse Roe v. Wade which had been the law of the land for nearly 50 years. If all goes the way it should go and justice is FINALLY served, he can deal with his “grab ‘em by the pussy” issues in a padded cell in federal lock-up where we no longer have to see his mug on a daily basis. How sweet that will be.
