In reply to the discussion: Missouri GOP Senate Candidate Says He Expects Dinner on the Table from His Fianc Every Night [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)5. He's going after the Bubba vote, which may work in Missouri.
But my older brother, who is 65, is a Bubba. That wouldn't work on him or other bubbas I know. My brother grew up with 4 sisters and believes in women being able to work and provide for themselves, learning to do household repair projects, and such. He saw firsthand how helpless our mother was after Dad left. And my Bubba brother LIKES women. He's sexist to a degree. But I think he does see them as real people.
Other Bubbas are getting to be more like that, too, as they increasingly rely on the income of their wives, help with household chores and with the kids, and are more involved as fathers than their fathers were.
The world is changing. Except maybe in Missouri.

Interesting how he wants his future daughters to grow up "traditional family wives"...

One reason why some think there's a chance it's all a bit of performance art, or parody

So is he living with his fiancee currently? Because that is not very Norman Rockwell if he is.
