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

night"

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/gop-senate-candidate-flips-womens-rights-want-come-home-cooked-dinner-every-night/?comments=disqus



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.”

Sykes ended his rant by insisting that he supports women’s rights “but not the kind that has suppressed natural womanhood for five long decades.”

“But good news,” he concluded. “They’re finished. Ask Hillary.”



No dude, YOU are finished! Go fuck yourself!

Is that the selected candidate? Wow. Missouri Republicans do pick them, don't they? That was where Todd Akin ran IIRC.

The bit that horrifies me the most is that someone with that attitude has daughters. Poor things. I hope they rebel!

If I demanded dinner ready when I walked through the door, I would either be 6 ft under, wake up a eunuch, or no longer be married.

This guy is a troglodyte...sadly, there are many like him out there in the world.

It’s considered “bible-based” to have the husband be the asshole family boss, the son will be the favored child, the wife must be on call 24/7 to be subservient to the boss (endless chores and sex whenever HE wants it), and any daughters are to help the mother, and learn to be quiet, humble servants.

IT’S A TOTAL LOAD OF HORSESHIT.

The little boy, about 8, was hitting golf balls with the dad. The little girl, around 10 was sitting with her bible thumping mom. I could see that the girl desperately wanted to hit golf balls with her dad, but she was ignored completely. Was hard to watch, that girl is likely going to end up being subservient to men that abuse her. The family left, I was glad to not continue to see that sad scene, but even now, I feel badly for the little girl.

At 6:00, too. Unfortunately I don't have a slacker job allowing me to get home at 6:00 and I do not have the means to pay a professional to cook for me. Since when does what I want have anything to do with what others are expected to do for me?

This is the scripture it's based on, Proverbs 31.10-31.

A Wife of Noble Character
Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies.
Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
She finds wool and flax and busily spins it.
She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing her food from afar.
She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.
She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She is energetic and strong, a hard worker.
She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.
Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber.
She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.
She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes.
She makes her own bedspreads. She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
Her husband is well known at the city gates, where he sits with the other civic leaders.
She makes belted linen garments and sashes to sell to the merchants.
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.
When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.
She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness.
Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her:
"There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the lord will be greatly praised.
Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

There's this fad going around in the extremely-fundamentalist community of training your daughters to be "Proverbs 31 Women," one of which this individual wants to marry. I don't know about y'all, but I think if I was one of his daughters I'd get into the shaved-head-and-black-lipstick style this asshole would truly hate.

January 25, 2018 at 4:19 pm

... Sykes' .. comments .. continue, "I don't buy into radical feminism’s crazed definition of modern womanhood and I never did ... They made it up to suit their own nasty, snake-filled heads. Modern women can BE anything they want, including traditional women — as millions are and millions are fast becoming. Millennial women voters despised Hillary (Clinton) and cost her the election (and they weren’t Russians). I wonder why they despise her? One reason is they look at her life’s personal wreckage and din’t want to become like her."

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/01/25/missouri-gop-senate-hopeful-feminists/

In March 1919, Missouri passed the Presidential Suffrage Act, giving women the right to vote in Presidential elections. A few months later, on 3 July 1919, Missouri became the 11th state to ratify the 19th amendment. Maybe the good folk of Missouri will want to celebrate the centenaries of those events with a male chauvinist pig as their senator --- but I doubt it

No woman deserves to be with an evil, sexist pig like that and I pray that he does not reproduce. I fear for any future children he has.
