JD Vance Faces Backlash Over Podcast Comments

Recent audio from a 2020 podcast reveals JD Vance's controversial views on women, stating that the 'whole purpose of the postmenopausal female' is to help raise grandchildren. Vance agreed with host Eric Weinstein, who suggested that having a grandmother care for children is a 'weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman.' These comments, resurfaced amid his vice-presidential campaign, have sparked backlash for their apparent misogyny and cultural stereotyping. Critics argue that Vance's remarks reflect a retrogressive stance on gender roles, aligning with his previous derogatory comments about 'childless cat ladies.' Vance's discussion emphasized economic inefficiency, criticizing the 'hyper-liberalized' approach that prioritizes paid labor over familial contributions.
