generally i think any quote taken out of context is hard to comment on however to take this is as a comment on women generally (and therefore misogynistic) is a bit misguided imo from my POV, it’s a comment on the people who live with a victim mindset who enjoy the pseudorole of vigilante or SJW and bully companies, legislators, etc into inefficient, unproductive and long term harmful decisions we shouldn’t generalize that to him commenting on all women or assume he’s misogynistic if he is misogynistic, then what’s the qualification? how do we explain his marriage and parenting with his driven, working wife?

i think it's still defo misogynistic here tho just by implying that single women with cats who are childless must have lives devoid of meaning and must be miserable aka women need children and a husband to make their lives have any meaning to or happiness in them

He has been quite heavy against childless people in general, to the point of wanting to give additional voting power to people with children: https://x.com/daveweigel/status/1418740204077305857

this is actually so crazy bc there's a statistically significant correlation with number of children and IQ that's been reproduced by multiple studies so he's literally a proponent of giving more voting power to the population that's least likely to have the critical thinking and analysis skills needed to cast an informed vote

I'm not even sure how much it matters to optimize for voting power per IQ, but I do fear that even opening the possibility of making one person's vote count more than another person's vote is a serious regression. I'm all for giving younger people the right to vote, but they should be allowed to vote their conscience.
