Vance also seemed to concur when the host suggested that having grandparents help raise children was a “weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman.”

It’s the latest in comments from the Republican nominee for vice president about women and “traditional” roles that have drawn ire. Vance has faced intense criticism in recent weeks for previous sexist comments, including his remarks about “cat ladies.”

    What’s with the weird incel language going on?

    Even The Handmaid’s Tale didn’t constantly refer to women as “females”.

      I know this is probably rhetorical, but there’s probably room for further discussion. Strong overlap in the two groups with their transphobic binary gender/biological sex beliefs that is used to reinforce the “female make baby” beliefs. Also, distancing language. Hard to say if there’s room for course correction. Incel results don’t seem to deter incel thinking.
