I missed this brouhaha with the Ohio politician. Good gawd. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

The misogyny and blatant patriarchal attitude are over the top. Show women aren’t valuable or to be valued unless they have children?

JFC. He actually said that out loud. Just wow.

I wonder if it’s politically taboo for candidates to be single women? Kind of like it’s politically taboo to be an atheist?

I mean I know some senior political leaders have been single women, but I’m thinking it’s pretty darn rare.

Might be worth looking into with a deeper dive.
