Missouri GOP Senate Candidate Says He Expects Dinner on the Table from His Fianc Every Night [View all]

Source: Time

By ABIGAIL ABRAMS 8:00 PM EST

A Missouri Republican running for U.S. Senate wants everyone to know that he expects dinner on the table every evening at 6 p.m., hopes his hypothetical future daughters do not turn into “career obsessed banshees” and believes that feminism has “oppressed natural womanhood.”

Courtland Sykes, who is one of several Republicans running to replace Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, took to Facebook on Tuesday to re-post comments he made last year about women’s rights. “In light of recent questions regarding my views on Women’s Rights, attached is my full statement from September 2017,” he wrote, along with a photo of a six-paragraph response to the question: ‘Do you favor Women’s Rights?’

In response to the titular question, Sykes wrote that his fiancé Chanel Rion gave him “orders” to favor women’s rights, “so I’d better.”

“But Chanel knows that my obedience comes with a small price that she loves to pay anyway,” the statement continues. “I want to come home to a home cooked dinner at six every night, 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—think Norman Rockwell here and Gloria Steinem be damned.”
