Exposed: J.D. Vance's ties to 'extreme anti-feminists and misogynists' that formed views

Raw Story  

Vance has ties to a slew of far-right academics who believe working women are on drugs and judges should decide who gets to get married, among other extreme opinions, a new analysis shows. Vance's connections to hardcore anti-feminists could have dire consequences for his running mate former President Donald Trump after President Joe Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take over the Democratic campaign, political theorist Laura K. Field reported for Politico Wednesday. "Vance, along with his New Right fellow-travelers, is about to introduce voters to a more conceptual take on sexism — one which many women, and indeed many men, might find even more alarming," writes Field. Field details Vance's various connections to American New Right “postliberalism” which condemns gender equality as “gender ideology" and promotes what she describes as "overt chauvinism." Vance gave a speech in 2021 at the Claremont Institute, the “nerve center” of the New Right and home to what Field describes as "some of the most extreme anti-feminists and misogynists in the movement."
