WOMEN SHOULDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE, SAYS ALT-RIGHT LEADER RICHARD SPENCER

"SNIP......


I don’t necessarily think that that’s a great thing,” Spencer said of women voting in U.S. elections.

The subject of misogyny in alt-right circles has been well documented, not only in terms of its prevalence in the movement, but as being a fundamental part of why the movement exists in the first place. Angela Nagle, a leftist writer, for example, catalogued the movement’s journey from frequently apolitical, primarily misogynistic threads on the imageboard site 4chan into the kind of “blood and soil” racial nationalism embraced by men like Spencer in her book Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars From 4Chan And Tumblr To Trump And The Alt-Right.  But Spencer’s comment perhaps hints at how he and other alt-right leader’s views about women might manifest in terms of actual policy, should they be able to gain direct access to the levers of power.

Spencer declined to explain to me how Americans would choose their leaders without the use of democracy. Nevertheless, his words are likely to draw raised eyebrows from his many critics, which currently span from the left to the center-right. The remark also falls in line with similar comments Spencer has made in the past about the opposite sex, suggesting that the U.S. should be protected from what he views to be the danger of having a female commander-in-chief.

“Women should never be allowed to make foreign policy,” he wrote about then candidate Hillary Clinton in September of 2016 on Twitter. “It’s not that they’re ‘weak.’ To the contrary, their vindictiveness knows no bounds.”

......SNIP"

I bet in his past he perceived a women setting appropriate boundaries as vindictiveness. Bet it happened all the time. Hey Spencer the phone call is coming from inside your house!!! the bug is in your brain.

for procreation. Which may be the source of his attitude. In other words, he couldn't get laid in a bordello on dollar night with $10K pinned to his shirt.

Fuck him. When he speaks of female "vindictiveness" he only means that no self-respecting woman would ever want to sleep with him and, unfortunately, the ones he probably had to take by force set out to prosecute him. He's such a pig!

Would you really expect anything else from a knuckle dragger like Spencer? Then look at the people who follow this misogynistic jackass. They actually think they're a majority force in politics now. They're legends in their own minds. They're fools.
