Most people probably got wind of some comments made by JD Vance about childless women, ‘cat ladies’ to be exact. All the references I’ve seen up until today, contextualized the remarks as if they had just been made last week along with the expected and amplified vitriol out of that demographic. The reality is that the remark was made in 2021, was reported without context, and splashed in our faces by the propagandist media as if JD was actively trolling the cat-ladies on the campaign trail. It just so happens that a majority of the cat lady clique are devoted Democrat partisans, in fact, the absolute most dependable base within the party. When I first heard it, my own rection was first, ‘bingo’, and ‘there’s nothing like upsetting your opponent’s base’. The point of this piece is my agreement with the idea behind his cut, so I had to do some digging to get to the bottom of it and wanted to find the original quote.
It seems that Google search was quite reluctant to give that up. There were dozens of mainstream press articles referencing the quote but never the whole thing, or the context, and few bothered to mention the original date. The date is important here because the press is concurrently touting remarks he made critical of Trump around that time. Thus, the insinuation that he was ‘honest’ then about Trump, but has since fallen into some moral squalor and hypocrisy by accepting the VP nominee position, and concurrently, a deceptive insinuation that he hates cat ladies and childless women, also today, all just a part of his failing reprehensible character. Nevertheless, I finally found the quote after tweaking my search terms four times:
During an appearance on Fox News in 2021, Vance, who was running for his Ohio Senate seat, said the U.S. was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”
To which, I must say, ‘Amen’.
As per Vance’s explanation now, he describes the remarks as ‘sarcastic’. I can buy into that. There are plenty of instances where the cat lady condition in life is not literal, but the mentality is real. Stereotypes exist for a reason. They, or you re incensed now with JD Vance. I’ve observed the propensity of gal-pals who are normally at each other throat, for them to band together tighter than epoxy with spines facing out, when an outsider threatens the self-esteem of one among their clique (even if they despised them yesterday). If you’re a male reading this and have any doubts about this condition, get your testosterone checked, or maybe even your chromosomes. While this may or may not be universal of all women, the real point here is where it comes to liberal/progressive women that have made specific life choices to eschew childbearing, often also marriage, and increasingly, in favor of alt lifestyles. And then there is the cat. While I love all pets, cats have the misfortune of being selected as a most frequent choice of companion for the group I describe. Go figure. It’s not the cat’s fault.
An emerging and real stereotype are the sheer numbers of childless cat ladies that have made their way into politics where their deep personal biases are worked into their day jobs of creating legislative and legal action. Increasingly, this also involves blunt social engineering, especially when it comes to forcing their vision onto other people’s children. They have no stake in the future themselves and their vain wine and transient pleasure lifestyle will go to the grave with them, so their bitterness perversely desires company. Even when they have children themselves but have morphed into a cat-lady station in life via divorce or long-distant show-only marriages, they project their radical woke outlook onto their kids. And just a reminder, a kid with gender dysphoria needs to see a psychologist and any adult, parent or otherwise, that pushes hormone blockers, gender reassignment, and sterilization on a minor in lieu of psychiatric therapy should go to prison; but I digress.
It is absolutely the prerogative of any woman to forego motherhood if they so desire. I wrote about this awhile back, ‘The Reproductive Quandary You’ve So Far Ignored’. Here’s the most relevant passage for your convenience:
‘A generation is usually regarded as twenty years. Let’s say you are twenty years old. You’re young and at the peak of whatever fertility you’re going to have. You’re free to choose to delay or not have children, an endeavor exclusive to a male and a female conjugal union or sterile lab facsimile of the same. All your friends choose the same, your entire city, your entire country, and all countries beyond, all for the same ostensibly legitimate reasons that you’ve made that choice. The generation coming after you is also making that same choice. Congratulations: in approximately twenty years, you have all collectively brought the entire human race a hard stop crash, to the moment of extinction. You will all live another twenty, forty, maybe even sixty years. Within twenty years, your generation will be functionally incapable of conception. That much is gone for good. The entire human race will live out their span with plummeting resources and that will be the end.’
JD Vance was absolutely right, in fact, possibly more right than he ever realized at the time. Do as you please with your own life, but by all means, own it, and most of all, keep your hands off of everyone else’s children.
