Leftist women are getting their knickers in a twist about how JD Vance, in 2021, described Kamala Harris and other childless leftist women. The fact is that Vance’s colorful language accurately describes a real and troubling phenomenon amongst a certain segment of childless women (not I hasten to add, all childless women) in America.
Soon after Vance announced his candidacy for the Ohio Senate stated during a speech that “the childless left” isn’t committed to America’s future because, without offspring, leftists have no direct stake in the future. In response to Tucker Carlson’s inquiries, Vance expanded on what he meant by that observation:
We’re effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.
And it’s just a basic fact. You look, Kamala Harris. Pete Buttigieg, AOC—the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?
I just wanted to ask that question and propose that, maybe, if we want a healthy ruling class in this country, we should invest more, we should vote more, we should support more people who actually have kids because those are the people who ultimately have a more direct stake in the future of this country.
The obvious suspects—the leftist childless cat ladies who chose careers over having children—were outraged. A Google search revealed that among those most outraged was actress Jennifer Aniston (55 years old), a Democrat, Aniston’s outrage even made The Hill:

In her social media post, Aniston shared a message with her nearly 45 million Instagram followers directed at Vance: “I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to [in vitro fertilization] as a second option.”
“Because you are trying to take that away from her, too,” Aniston, 55, said.
In a 2022 interview, the Emmy Award winner said she tried to get pregnant for several years and underwent unsuccessful rounds of in vitro fertilization.
“Leftist women are getting their knickers in a twist ...”
Must be a day that ends with a “y.”
So it was a Hail Mary pass.
If you are so emotional that you can’t discern what he really meant, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
Which is worse Aniston. A cat lady comment or an assassins bullet? Which party do you associate with? Yeah, thought so. Cat lady.
I don’t see Vance attacking all women who are childless.
I see Vance attacking political leaders who have chosen to have no obvious stake in the future.
I think he is exactly right and should stand behind what he said. Why let them define the issue?
Aniston chased a career. She got it. She needs to quit bitching.
Jennifer Aniston should stick to movies. And i might add, please keep your clothes on.
I don’t care about their stupid “feelings” Anniston would think nothing of one of her friends aborting their child.
I only care about getting rid of the evil that is running this country. Single issue crybabymania will get us a permanent tyrannical state.
While the comment should not be a big deal, Vance made a rookie mistake with a comment like that he should know would be brought up against him and the GOP. Having said that, Libs make horribly negative comments about women who have 3+ kids and focus on their families rather than a career (e.g., “your vagina isn’t a clown car” type stuff).
This is about refusing to bring a child into the world, not the ability. They are attacking a strawman.
If you do not have enough faith in America to bring a child into the world then what gives you the right to lead the nation.
We’re no longer a republic.
If that still matters to anyone, then I gently suggest that this question is moot.
Obviously, the pool of females Vance was referring to is small and are childless by choice.
To be fair: Of course the IVF treatments are needed chiefly by women in their fifth decade: That's the whole (sick) point!
There are, of course, a handful of women in their 20s who might need IVF - but most are oldsters who have squandered their naturally fertile years chasing "Chad" and/or their careers, and who are hence now paying the price.

No.
Next question?
Regards,
It’s tough to think about, but with the whole women’s movement of recent decades, and women focused on careers, many women are focused on careers and deliberately avoiding having children during their peak fertility years.
Then they try to conceive during years where their fertility is declining.
It is a conundrum, because if women did focus on marriage and family during their 20s, they would miss out on some career opportunities.
Maybe we should all be realistic, both men and women , be realistic about how none of us can have absolutely everything we want in life , when we want it.
Who cares? The left have said some really really vile things agout conservatives and Trump and now Vance. Just ignore the screaming demons on the left- calling someone a childless catwoman does not define a person’s whole life or accomplishments. It’s a very small thing compared to the crap the left have foisted on this nation- damaging it almost beyond repair
