CATTLE CHATTEL: Idaho GOP Rep compares women to farm animals in repro rights debate
It’s not really news that the “men” of the GOP are terrified of the power of women — which is why they’ve worked so hard to control women for their entire history.
One of the first things abusive, controlling, misogynistic bullies do to their targets is dehumanize them so they don’t have to think of them as people like themselves.
Of course, we already know the superior human in this scenario is the one being subjugated.
The need to control another human because you feel threatened by them is some seriously sick sociopathic shit.
This brings us right back to the “men” of the GOP and their need to control women —which is also control of the population.
No one has ever been able to justify to me why the government is a part of any discussion regarding anyone else’s private medical decisions.
There are zero laws anywhere regulating a man’s reproductive system, yet they’re responsible for 100% of all pregnancies in one way or another.
Women don’t need men for most things, but science dictates that it takes two different human entities to create a third one, even if it’s in a test tube.
And men can’t bear the thought of obsolescence, hence their need to dominate.
And hence, the Supreme Court takes away basic human rights from women.
We don’t have the time — nor the resources — to unpack their individual issues, so for today, let’s just focus on the latest stellar example of this Darwinian nightmare, Idaho Republican Rep. Jack Nelsen.
(BTW, here’s a hot tip from someone who’s lived in states bordering “No, Udaho” for the last 22 years: if you happen to see the words “Idaho” and “Republican” side by side, there’s an excellent chance they’re also a white supremacist)
Nelsen, who looks eerily like the “I’d Buy That For a Dollar Guy!” from “Robocop,” compared women to farm animals and said his experience working with cattle has given him “ideas on repro and the women’s health thing” during his first-ever public committee meeting.
I know you see it too.
Anyway, here’s Numbnuts Nelsen comparing women to cows because he’s udderly terrible.

Idaho Democrats are a rare breed. They followed this up with “Let us be clear: politicians like Jack Nelsen have no business mandating our reproductive health care decisions. Period.”
See what they did there?
