  A republican treating women like property? This tracks
context: "Believe what they say the first time".
  -Maya Angelou >
  
  
  In his introductory remarks, Nelsen told the first meeting of Idaho's Agricultural Affairs Committee on January 10: "I'm a lifelong dairy farmer who retired, still own part of the dairy; grew up on the farm. I've milked a few cows, spent most of my time walking behind lines of cows, so if you want some ideas on repro and the women's health thing, I have some definite opinions."
  
  Walking wasn't the only thing this guy has done behind a cow. >
  
  Repro: A veterinarian with a rubber gloves and bill semen in hand artificially inseminates the cow while a second person stimulates the cow’s clitoris to encourage reproduction. 
  …in other words, this guy is fucking bonkers. >
  
  This is not what a veterinarian does. It’s not is her job description >
  
  Then my veterinarian wife who has done artificial insemination led me astray. I’ll make sure to set her straight 
  (/s) >
  
  Yeah she can do it, similarly a taxi driver can help deliver a baby.
  Edit: it’s not in the job description but she can do it >
  
  I don’t think you know that large animal veterinarians exist. Artificial insemination is very much part of their job description. >
  
  You are correct, my apologies.
  In some countries in Europe, there are specialist that only do AI.  I spent time on farm, and guessed wrongly that US was similar >
  
  He wasn't even making a statement on a reproduction-related bill, or engaging in a debate about reproductive rights. THIS WAS JUST HOW HE INTRODUCED HIMSELF. >
  
  When a mysoginist waves a big red flag stating he would ban any and all reproductive health and treat women like breeding stock.  BELIEVE HIM and then vote his ass out. >
  
  Actually in them parts that’s a reason to vote him in. >
  
  He’s only sorry because people called him out on it. 
  This fucking pig still thinks women are pigs, he just has to make an untrue apology for it. >
  
  Technically, he believes they’re cows. >
  
  AH, BUT WAIT! He has "ideas" on the women's health thing. Honestly, it sounds like he may want to start with his mental health, etc., and leave my health to me and all the other women's health to their own discretion in this great nation of FREEDOM. >
  
  He compared women to milk cattle ... this man, married to a woman thinks women are cattle, like any other fuckable property. His apology was non-existent. >
  
  You uh, you fuck your cattle? >
  
  You uh, don't fuck your cattle? >
  
  No,no. If you were a sheep, would you fuck another sheep? >
  
  Naw I'm much more into the Coalition for Liberating Itinerant Tree-Dwellers >
  
  He wasn't apologizing. That's exactly what republicans think of woman as. >
  
  So then what do Republican women think of themselves…enlighten us >
  
  Republican women employ impressive mental gymnastics to minimize or excuse misogynistic comments, because they need the approval of Republican patriarchal men in order to feel powerful in a conservative social hierarchy that makes them second class citizens. >
  
  The only one going through mental gymnastics is you. Have you considered that they just choose not to victimize themselves 24/7? >
  
  I’m sorry that you feel threatened by women who demand to be treated as equally valuable humans. The good news is that insecurity is a treatable condition. >
  
  It’s the other way around. You’re projecting now. >
  
  And 75% of Idaho white women will still vote Republican, even from their barn stalls >
  
  They’re pretty gad dang dumb in them parts >
  
  I have nipples, Jack, can you milk me?
  What a troglodyte this guy is. >
  
  Jack says that to Greg, otherwise solid and hilarious reference! >
  
  Jack is the Republican in this case. :) >
  
  Derp 😅
  At least I wasn’t so dense as to compare women to cattle though. >
  
  "Farm animals have value" continuing in his head >
  
  I'm more shocked that a Republican actually said this:
  
  Nelsen stated: "I have always operated and will continue to operate under the standard that the government does not belong in the doctor's office."
  
  Sounds more like political suicide in Idaho than his original remark. >
  
  He doesn't actually mean what those words say. EVERY Republican says they want to keep government out of the doctor's office (and various other places), but what they MEAN is they want THEIR form of government in the doctor's office. Classic double-speak; just like how they are with the concept of being anti-fascist. >
  
  Groups that the law binds but does not protect etc.. >
  
  ""I absolutely respect women, and the right to choose their own healthcare," Nelsen—who has a wife and five granddaughters—wrote."
  People who respect women and their right to choose their own healthcare do not vote republican, let alone run on a republican ticket. >
  
  He would definitely make sure they had an abortion. >
  
  They're not pro-life. You know what they are? They're anti-woman.
  Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don't like them. They don't like women.
  They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state."
  George Carlin
  Ps: and they don't hide it anymore. During the Holocaust, Nazis referred to Jews as rats, Untermenschen. Hutus involved in the Rwanda genocide called Tutsis cockroaches. Slave owners throughout history considered slaves subhuman animals. When republicans dehumanize women, they actually conceive of them as subhuman creature. >
  
  He's VERY sorry (that you heard that.) >
  
  "I take full responsibility... as long as there are no consequences" >
  
  The only surprising word in this entire title is "apologizes" >
  
  His apology wasn't sincere. We all know what he thinks about women and his party will back him on it. >
  
  The amount of time he took describing women as cows is a pretty good indicator how sincere his apology was. He’s probably thinking “harumph, women these days can’t take a joke.” >
  
  guy's a pig >
  
  Pigs are intelligent animals. >
  
  I can see why he choose dairy farming them. 
  Pigs would have easily out smarted him, then sold him to market. >
  
  Animal farm intensifies >
  
  Wow the article is almost impossible to read through the ads. What did he say exactly? >

  Wooooow >
  
  Best part was, one of his female colleagues was sitting right next to him. He obviously thought she’d laugh at his silly joke 🤮 >
  
  His fingers are probably crossed behind his back. >
  
  Why apologize?  Everyone knows this is how they view women:  as brood mares and workhorses who perform the unpaid labor of managing households and raising children (future taxpayers and workers) while simultaneously working a full-time job in most cases. >
  
  His party doesn't care. Neither does he.
