He is a politician, they talk, they talk about things they shouldn't, they talk about things they know nothing about. Very few are orators. They, as a group, don't listen to their constituents but only to their peers. That is what politicians do. This guy phrased his thoughts perhaps not as well as you would wish, but apparently enough voters got his message to vote for him in the Primary. If you, being from Missouri, don't like him, why don't you put yourself up for elective office and run. No, you take personally what I posted and kvetch, and try and beat me with your feminist stick. Use your brain instead of your feelings and think this through. Don't take someone else's talking points, that is the easy way to have a cocktail discussion.
I doubt he would've won the Primary if he had said this before voting time.
Just saying.

Wow, that is the first time I’ve ever been accused of being a feminist! I have lived a very traditional, conservative life, and respect the men in my life and the important role they play. I have put my family above personal career goals and aspirations. If being offended by someone insulting rape victims is a being a feminist, maybe I am one, and never knew it.
