GOP Senate candidate flips out over womens rights: I want to come home to a cooked dinner every

GOP Senate candidate flips out over ‘women’s rights’: ‘I want to come home to a cooked dinner every night’
Republican U.S. Senate candidate for Missouri Courtland Sykes blasted “women’s rights” this week.

In a statement posted to Facebook on Tuesday, Sykes said that he had been asked if he “supports women’s rights.”

“I want to come home to a home cooked dinner every night at six,” Sykes said, referring to demands he makes of his girlfriend. “One that she fixes and one that I expect one day to have daughters learn to fix after they become traditional homemakers and family wives.”

According to Sykes, feminists push an agenda that they “made up to suit their own nasty snake-filled heads.”

The candidate said that he hoped his daughters do not grow up to be “career obsessed banshees who forgo home life and children and the happiness of family to become nail-biting manophobic hell-bent feminist she devils who shriek from the top of a thousand tall buildings they are [SIC] think they could have leaped in a single bound — had men not been ‘suppressing them.’ It’s just nuts.”

Be sure to read his statement where he claims that Millennial women despise Hillary Clinton because of her "personal life's wreckage" and that is what cost her the election. What an asshat!

This was a freeholder (county legislator) in Atlantic County NJ. He made a comment that he hoped the Women's March would be over on time for his dinner to be cooked.

A 32 yo newcomer was outraged, ran against him, and won.

but he's demanding his live-in girlfriend do it?


Not that having a live-in SO is any way scandalous to most reasonable people, just pointing out his own internal hypocrisy.

He wants a slave he doesn't even have to have a divorce settlement with when she's had enough of this man-baby.

My Mom was a homemaker but there is NO WAY my Dad would have ever described her role like this, EVER, nor his own mother's.
