Republican 'Christian' radio host: 'Educated women' make horrible wives and mothers'

SOURCE: https://deadstate.org/christian-radio-host-educated-women-make-for-horrible-wives-and-mothers

GOP Rep. Sean Duffy announced he’s resigning from Congress because his wife, Fox News commentator Rachel Campos-Duffy is pregnant with their ninth child — a child who will likely have to undergo heart surgery soon after birth. According to hyper misogynist and far-right Christian radio host Jesse Lee Peterson, that’s a bad move.

“Why does she have to work?” Peterson asked in a video clip flagged by Right Wing Watch. “Why doesn’t she stay home, be a wife, a mother, and help raise the children? And now this guy has to step down because this baby apparently has some issues … He shouldn’t quit his job for that. I guarantee you she is making him do it.”

. . .

“This woman is a selfish woman,” Peterson continued. “She has nine kids and she’s trying to be like a man … Women, God has given you the gift of being the assistant of the man, to watch over his children, to make sure things are well at home, to be there when the kids come home, to cook, clean, provide in that way. There is no greater job for a woman than that. And I don’t know why these men would marry these women if they don’t have that mindset. It’s like being married to another man. It’s selfishness, it’s not love.”

. . .

“I wouldn’t recommend you marry these educated women with these degrees; they don’t make for good wives and mothers.”

5. Education makes them so uppity, gets them to thinking they're equal or something.

You can almost tell what kind of Christian someone is by the party they identify with.

6. What does he f**king know? I wonder how many times this scumbag has been ...

married and then split (probably, he's mum on this info.). Also, I wonder how many times has he been accused and/or charged w/ spouse abuse? If not married, with this kind of attitude, who in their right mind would do so?

This guy also thought Women shouldn't have the right to vote,
a critic of the social movement (you probably have already guessed this),
and
that the LGBT community is ruining America.

Coward. Think he has the right to condemn others for their actions in the women's movement as well as the LGBT movement (and social movements of all kinds), and yet not reveal anything about his own relationship. Hypocrite.

So he probably bases this on his own experience.

I told them...he thought he was god, I didn't.

exact same BS..I believe he actually used the words barefoot and pregnant.
That was in 1970, tho.

This guy is 50 years behind the times, and the fact he has to rave and blather about someone else's wife, yet, tells me his dream life ain't exactly working out.

Each should get a 4-year college degree and then NOT get married or have kids. Earth can't handle the number of humans here now anyway. Earth cannot replenish its resources fast enough to sustain current human life. AND there's climate change that is destroying the place too, further destroying the planet's ability to support the human life which already exists here.

Then there's the too-rapey nature of too many males - ESPECIALLY the Republicans, who actively campaign on sexually and reproductively enslaving human females (case in point, the OP here). Forget 'em. Get a vibrator and do it yourself. No STDs. No pregnancy.

So that fixes THREE issues. DONE!
