JD Vance Comments, Forward to Project 2025 Book Show His Contempt for Women, 'Manspreading'

Ohio Capital Journal, Aug. 13, 2024. Commentary.

It was the kind of juvenile stunt you’d expect from a frat boy being a jerk. But the problem child pulling the bizarre maneuver on an airport tarmac in Wisconsin last week — to stalk Vice President Kamala Harris — was none other than Senator Cringeworthy from Ohio, or J.D. Vance, his latest alias.

The Republican vice-presidential nominee is seemingly hellbent on reinforcing his odious public image as a weird piece of work from The Handmaid’s Tale. No wonder the Gilead-curious Vance is soaring off the unlikability charts as more voters discover what Ohioans already have about the fringe right-winger with patriarchal fever dreams.

Like the No. 1 man on the GOP ticket, the No. 2 man apparently has a problem with strong women who wield power. J.D.’s insecurities were on full display as he marched (uninvited) up to Air Force 2 on the tarmac to smugly “check out my future plane” and to “say hello to the vice president and ask her why she refuses to answer questions.”

Unclear what questions the off-putting frat boy had in mind with his cheeky disrespect and overt menacing of the vice president of the United States. But Vance was oddly pleased with his performative obnoxiousness. “I had a bit of fun,” tittered the floundering running mate of a convicted felon. “Don’t think the vice-president waved at me as she drove away, but I’m glad to have done it.”...

Stalker Vance & the Real Meaning of 'Childless Cat Ladies,' 'Manspreading,' Daily Kos, 8.13.24

.. WHAT VANCE MEANT
At that Wisconsin airport, Vance was clearly jealous that Harris was getting all the attention from the press. He was probably also jealous that Harris had a bigger plane. Some men are insecure about the size of their equipment, you know. But however easy it is easy to mock Weird JD, the meaning of his action that day is serious.

He saw a woman with power receiving attention, so he inserted himself into her space to disempower her. He felt the need to get people to pay attention to him rather than to a woman. His comment about her plane — the vice presidential plane — being his “future plane” was no insinuation. He was out front in saying that a woman having status was some kind of mistake that he will rectify in the future...

But he carries all the resentment and entitlement of a full-blown incel, inflated to Taliban-like proportions.
