(CNN)A Michigan candidate for the US House backed by former President Donald Trump once railed against giving women the right to vote, arguing that America has "suffered" since women's suffrage.

John Gibbs, who defeated in the primary an incumbent Republican who had voted to impeach Trump, also made comments in the early 2000s praising an organization trying to repeal the 19th Amendment which also argued that women's suffrage had made the United States into a "totalitarian state."

As a student at Stanford University in the early 2000s, Gibbs founded a self-described "think tank" called the Society for the Critique of Feminism that argued women did not "posess (sic) the characteristics necessary to govern," and said men were smarter than women because they are more likely to "think logically about broad and abstract ideas in order to deduce a suitable conclusion, without relying upon emotional reasoning."

Hosted on Gibbs' personal page at Stanford in 2000 and 2001, the Society for the Critique of Feminism argued for a patriarchal society run by men, calling it "the best model for the continued success of a society."

1. Could there be anything more offensive than a black man arguing AGAINST women's suffrage?

What an irredeemable POS.

2. That's sort of where my mind went. Really?

8. It's almost as though black men for Trump didn't ever have a mother or forgot that they did.

It's really women's suffering not women sufferage.

3. ROFL!

As a student at Stanford University in the early 2000s, Gibbs... said men were smarter than women because they are more likely to "think logically about broad and abstract ideas in order to deduce a suitable conclusion, without relying upon emotional reasoning."

The candidate, who is a male, is saying what now? Males, who usually have the most overblown, emotional responses to the most inane things... males, who prefer the three 'F's... are more likely to "think logically about broad and abstract ideas in order to deduce a suitable conclusion, without relying upon emotional reasoning."??
