DescriptionJD Vance's obsession with childless women: Taking cues from the sexist 'manosphere'?

post dos it is a dark world for women and it will become even darker if Donald Trump and JD Vance have their way according to the former Trump Administration officials over at the Heritage Foundation they plan on Curbing what they call abortion tourism and what they really mean is they would stop women who live in states that are reproductive Health Care deserts from traveling to another state for care they would then want the Centers for Disease Control to implement a mandatory Nationwide collection of private medical data to track abortions and to give police the power to talk to your doctors about your gynecological care just in case they want to prosecute you if your state doesn't want to comply they'll simply cut funding until they do the guy who wrote that project 2025 section Roger saverino wants to nationalize abortion banss and his wife helped Leonard Leo pick the three justices who stole Reproductive Rights from American women saverino could very well be in the next Trump Administration and his wife would help fill the next Supreme Court vacancies Senator JD Vance has been an early proponent of this kind of vaginal vigilantism he was one of only eight Republican Senators who opposed the Biden Administration when it prevented state law enforcement from tracking your minstral Cycles unsurprisingly Trump told Time magazine that it is up to the states joining me now is Scott Galloway NYU Professor host of the Prof gpod and co-host of the PIV podcast U Scott Galloway welcome to the show thank you so much for being here this all I think to a lot of people sounds like crazy handmaids tail stuff but it's very real I mean there is this world in which these men want to force women to be incubators can you talk a little bit more about where this ideology kind of comes from I think it comes from a pretty dark place Jo I mean did you four years ago think we'd be sitting in an America where one in five women have to leave their state to terminate a pregnancy and I actually don't think there's really any chance it'll be totally outlawed because I think the most mendacious thing about this movement right now or this trend is not that it's an attack on women but it's an attack on poor women I just think that if JD Vance's nephew and his girlfriend or wife were to get pregnant they'd be able to figure it out I think this is absolutely targeting if you will will have the biggest impact on uh mostly poor women of color who don't have the resources to find a way out here so in addition I mean essentially on a broader level this has impacts globally Trump tried to reinstate a Global Gag Rule that would reduce funding to even talk about uh family planning to International groups and I think the most mendacious thing about this or the most upsetting thing about this is let me say the quiet part out loud if we elect somebody who's been found guilty by a jury of his peers of sexual assault which in any language is rape who calls women horse face or fat pigs haven't we as a nation basically said we are normalizing misogyny yes I mean yes and and I will say that I was one of the people who absolutely could imagine we'd be here because those of us who've been you know and I'm sure you have as well been following the what they used to call the pro-life movement what I call the forc birth movement they've been literally saying they were going to do this since I was in high school or Junior High School and they've always said they were going to do it as soon as they got a supreme court that would do it and people elected Donald Trump anyway and and that is to me the disconnect is that he said he was going to put justices on the court that would overturn row they did it and people acted shocked but but talk a little bit about the this manosphere thing because if you if you pay any attention to it you know that's what they want they don't even think women should have the right to vote necessarily because they genuinely believe and I think in all sincerity that women have no place in public life outside of the kitchen yeah look this is frightening and it is kind of season 9 of the handmaid stale and I'm trying to focus on and I think Warren's more attention is all right how do we how do we make sure that vice president Harris is elected and this dystopia doesn't come to to bear and what's unusual about that discussion is that we thought this election was going to be a referendum on women's rights and bodily autonomy and quite frankly vice president Harris has probably kind of locked up the young female vote what I think wins or loses this election Joy is ironically whose vision for masculinity wins here because a lot of young men are not so much moving towards the Republican Party your network has spoke very cogently about what is the largest gender divide in history uh across the parties among young people it's not men moving towards the Republican party they are just as supportive of gender rights as every other group they're moving away from the Democratic party because quite frankly they don't feel seen if you go to the dnc's website it says explicitly who we serve and at lists 16 demographic groups that as far as I can tell cover about 75% of the population or specifically don't cover young men so in some they don't feel seen and they're the Democratic party right now is facing the same issue that many universities in the Dei apparatus has seen and that is when you're explicitly advocating for 75% of the population are you advocating and representing them or are you discriminating against the 25% so I and also we never miss an opportunity miss an opportunity the infrastructure act will res in 70% of those new jobs will go to men without necessarily college degrees but they didn't want to talk about it the real opportunity here is this vision of masculinity I think represented by walls it's more one of what I call protection and Service as opposed to toughness and strength where the Republican part is trying to go and I think the best example of that and it's a wonderful image is a football coach enlisting his players because the LGBT community at that high school and this is a true story felt bullied and enlisting them saying you don't need to understand this but men move to protection so I ironically I think our ability to protect women is going to be based on who has a better more appealing of vision of masculinity that appeals to what is becoming the key swing uh swing voter group here and that is young men that is so brilliantly said and so fascinating Scott Galloway thank you uh I appreciate that everybody at least listen to your podcast I'm going to listen to it as well um thank you very much well said spee sh [Music]
