Seems like someone deleted this after it got posted, so let’s call out this piece of shit. Apologies if repost.

“I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you. Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world…”

Hahaha. Even if there WERE lots of women who wanted to be homemakers, there is no way that a family can run on the average single income. So, somebody has been telling diabolical lies to him about the current economy.

You're saying that about a man who gets a lot of money to play a game he played in high school. I don't think he knows a lot about the job market.

About 50% of American families are single-income families, with half of those being single mothers and the other half being single-income, two-parent families. Single-income, two-parent families are found at every income bracket. The idea that it's impossible ("there is no way") is a myth.

And where do your stats come from? Do they account for the current cost of living crisis that's affecting the average person globally? Inflation? Where I am, living on a single income for a family means that you're likely either in the top 10% of wealth or you're struggling in poverty.

Additionally, your statement ignores that someone has gone to a university graduation ceremony and made derogatory remarks to the female students who've worked hard to get to where they are.

The Department of Labor.

That never happened. The media made that up and you swallowed it without actually using any critical thinking skills or reading his comments yourself. If he had made "derogatory comments" towards the women in that audience then he would not have received a standing ovation from those women. People don't give you a standing ovation for insulting them.
