Oh, Look, Marjorie Taylor Greene Has Some Thoughts on How to Define a Woman

According to Greene, women are weak and the property of their husbands.




Why do people go into politics? For some, it’s a calling and a desire to make a difference in their constituents’ lives. For others, it’s to do things like cut taxes for the rich and go to bat for pharmaceutical executives. For freshman representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, it’s to have a platform from which to spout every unhinged thought that comes into her brain, and elicit responses like “Wow, that‘s messed up” and “Hey, maybe this person shouldn’t be allowed near the room where bills are voted on” and “What the hell is wrong with her?”

For example, at a gathering over the weekend, Greene took the time to suggest that women are defined by being property of men. Responding to Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s refusal to be dragged into the GOP’s culture war du jour—during her confirmation hearing, Jackson declined to provide a definition of a woman for anti-trans Tennessee senator Marsha Blackburn—Greene told the Georgia Republican Assembly, “I’m going to tell you right now what is a woman. We came from Adam’s rib. God created us with his hands. We may be the weaker sex, we are the weaker sex, but we are our partner’s, our husband’s, wife".

How much did the men pay her to say that?

her husband's partner (translation: her husband's property) the next.

What a confused, conflicted hot mess.

And dumb as a rock. She called for marshall law on J6, and doesn't know the diff between gazpacho and Gestapo. Called Romney and Collins pro-pedophile and still preaches the trump's big lie.

Tell that to all the woman who take a job to help the family make ends meet, while raising several kids, cleaning a house, and cooking the family meals.
Tell that to all the women who did all that while pregnant.
Tell that to all the women who's love holds the family together.
I think they're the stronger sex.

Right, Marge, and that's why all fetuses are anatomically female until months into development. That's why they have matching chromosomes (XX) and males do not.

"Males" evolved into existence because sexual reproduction creates diversity through meiosis, and genetic diversity is required for a species survival.

Females are the baseline examples of every species, and in no possible universe should someone logically conclude that males preceded females.

That idea is ridiculous on its face.

And so is MTG.

Lauren Boebert , Madison Cawthorne, Gym Jorden and Matt Gaetz. The carnival barker, Completely Unqualified Clown Shakedown LLC.

I don’t know who they are but I sure wish I did and I hope they get out in one of these days. Boebert and Marge literally had the same “talent” agent. It does not bode very well that I have to do is be loud and Democrats to win in some places. Madison’s area in a perfectly fabulous human being who is my name, a veteran of many years and an unmistakably decent human , Moe Davis. But no.

From what we know about our evolutionary cousins, they did live difficult lives, but other than what they did for the sake of survival, they appeared to be intelligent and relatively peaceful people. They are not the savage, dumb caricatures that have been portrayed in cartoons and movies.

Greene is just an exceptionally immoral Homo Sapiens.

More illustrious grammar and spelling.

Her husband needs to reel her in then. Take off her shoes, and get her pregnant.

Perhaps that's an individual thing, as each woman becomes what she feels is right for her.

eff that shit.

I swear she is like Amy Comey Barrett in some of what she says. Barrett will follow the constitution, which wouldn't allow her to even be on the SC. MTG - if she belongs to her husband, why is she in Congress and not in her husband's house?

compulsively grabs and kisses women; MTG feels obliged to say she's the weaker sex. Oddly, imho, she appears masculine.

I'm not sure you fit into my "definition of a woman"... You sure don't fit into my definition of a human being.. More like my definition of a monster.. Of demon spawn... You came from Hell, and I wish you'd go back there already.

"Why do people go into politics?" For monsters like her and the modern QOP, it's to inflict pain and misery upon people they don't like. Seriously. They aren't here to help.. They're here to hurt. They can't go a day without hurting. Misery brings them joy.

"We may be the weaker sex..." Naw.. Just the weaker party. Helping others takes strength. Weaklings hurt people to feel better. And no one is as weak as a modern Republiqan.
