Moore Wanted Women Banned from Sports

April 22, 2019 at 12:53 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

Stephen Moore, who was nominated by President Trump to serve on the Federal Reserve Board, has written that women “should be banned from refereeing, announcing or beer vending at men’s college basketball games,” asking if there was any area in life “where men can take vacation from women,” CNN reports.

In one column for the National Review, Moore complained about his wife voting for Democrats: “Women are sooo malleable! No wonder there’s a gender gap.”

In another, he called it a “travesty” that “women now feel free to play with the men.”

His wife.

That's a southern dig.

He lives in a world where they have to one up each other mostly by agitating "libs" it's a big thing in that world. Of course he supposed to be an economist (yes I just laughed myself) so social commentary without data makes clear he true nature. He's. A. Joke.

"Well, bless his/her/your heart" is my favorite.

"Aren't you precious?" is good, too.

think I'm in the same predicament as millions of other married couples in America today.

My wife voted against every candidate that I voted for. And my livelihood depends on the outcome of this election. But she doesn't see the case for W. Bush and George Allen as all that persuasive.

While we were in line at the voting booth this morning she informed me that she had finally decided to vote for Chuck Robb. Good Lord! "Why?" I asked, stunned. Because of that Sierra Club commercial showing that Allen allowed all that toxic waste to be dumped in the rivers.

Women are sooo malleable! No wonder there's a gender gap.

5. Would the wife in the OP be his now-ex-wife, whom he tried to stiff for $300 thousand

in court-ordered child support and alimony, resulting in contempt of court charges? The one whom he allegedly abused emotionally and psychologically to the point that she had to flee their Virginia home for protection ?

Who cares if he's a sexist dolt? This is about MONEY, and that's what's important!

He doesn't live his life ethically, why would he treat the Fed any differently?

like the ancient Greek Olympics. If you don't like the female gawking or sniggers, leave.
