Gaetz Sneers At 'Over-Educated' Women Protesting SCOTUS Draft Striking Down Roe

Source: TPM







By Cristina Cabrera May 4, 2022 12:56 p.m.


As the Supreme Court gears up to dismantle Roe v. Wade, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) points out that the women who take issue with losing their abortion rights might just have too many brains in their girl heads.

“How many of the women rallying against overturning Roe are over-educated, under-loved millennials who sadly return from protests to a lonely microwave dinner with their cats, and no bumble matches?” the GOP congressman tweeted on Wednesday, referring to the Bumble dating app.

Quite the insult.

Speaking of apps, the Daily Beast found that Gaetz used the app Venmo to send cash to ex-tax official and alleged sex trafficker Joel Greenberg in 2018 with the note “Hit up ____.” That transaction noted the name of the unidentified then-teen with whom Gaetz allegedly had a sexual relationship with when she was 17 years old..................................

What a scum bag.

He's actually defining the problem. A lot of these right wing white males hate women who might be smarter than they are. I mean, how could it be? How could a woman--missing that extra important sack of brains that men have in their balls--possibly be as smart as a man?

that at risk children are the happy hunting grounds of "men" like Matt Gaetz, Joel Greenberg, Josh Duggar, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, Tom Foley, Roy Moore. or Denny Hastert? Note the lack of emotional intelligence in that crowd, let alone intellectual intelligence.

Also note that Anthony Wiener went to prison for sexting a fifteen year old. As he damn well should have, but he never actually touched the girl. How long did it take to get justice for Epstein's victims? What hurdles did the Olympic Gymnastics team, let alone Michigan State have to leap to get justice for sexual assault? OSU has paid out 60 million in lawsuits for the wrestlers Gym Jordan had a duty to report, he was in the showers along with Dr. Strauss. Statute of limitations ran out on criminal charges while they begged for justice.

Some people have a really. really sick twisted idea of what constitutes "civil rights" or "justice."

Sir Lord Alito does not even know which country he is in. Britain has abortion rights, we fought a whole war not to be under British law, and that witch burning rapey guy is from the same century "His honor."

Right wingers seem to have the weakness of needing archetypes or stereotypes to pigeon hole everybody they don’t agree with. So, all women who choose an abortion are over educated, underloved millenials with cats and eating microwave dinners.

is a prime example of why some people should never be permitted to procreate and, if they do make such a hideous mistake, why abortion should be safe and legal everywhere!

He likes the ones who don't know any better and would be easily impressed. So I wouldn't be surprised if he personally caused young ladies to have abortions.

How many of you somehow remain convinced that Gaetz is going to wake up one morning, ask our forgiveness for behaving like such a sub-human, then conduct himself as a gentleman for the rest of his life?

It doesn't work like that.

Gaetz and the rest of the trump-spawned psychos will continue to abuse us, until we do something about it. Give that some thought.

Calling these guys mediocre is an insult to mediocrity.

That would be one of the wacko nutcase groups that purports to "protect and promote Biblical values".

I guess Jesus approves of sex trafficking.

is just giving him what he wants. He's weak and impotent and is saying the same old garbage weak men have been saying for centuries. The only response to this is mockery and calling out his predatory behaviour. Taking ANY of these remarks seriously is simply playing into his hands. He can wriggle on his little butt, club his hands together and say SEE? LOOK AT ALL THE LIBS I TRIGGERED.

We do not have to justify ourselves, brag about ourselves and all our degrees or anything else. We can just point the finger and ask if poor little Matty needs a time out.
