Missouri GOP Senate Candidate Says He Expects Dinner on the Table from His Fianc Every Night

A Missouri Republican running for U.S. Senate wants everyone to know that he expects dinner on the table every evening at 6 p.m., hopes his hypothetical future daughters do not turn into career obsessed banshees and believes that feminism has oppressed natural womanhood.
Courtland Sykes, who is one of several Republicans running to replace Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, took to Facebook on Tuesday to re-post comments he made last year about womens rights. In light of recent questions regarding my views on Womens Rights, attached is my full statement from September 2017, he wrote, along with a photo of a six-paragraph response to the question: Do you favor Womens Rights?
In response to the titular question, Sykes wrote that his fiancé Chanel Rion gave him orders to favor womens rights, so Id better.
But Chanel knows that my obedience comes with a small price that she loves to pay anyway, the statement continues. I want to come home to a home cooked dinner at six every night, one that she fixes and one that I expect one day to have daughters learn to fix after they become traditional homemakers and family wivesthink Norman Rockwell here and Gloria Steinem be damned.

(37,648 posts)But my older brother, who is 65, is a Bubba. That wouldn't work on him or other bubbas I know. My brother grew up with 4 sisters and believes in women being able to work and provide for themselves, learning to do household repair projects, and such. He saw firsthand how helpless our mother was after Dad left. And my Bubba brother LIKES women. He's sexist to a degree. But I think he does see them as real people.
Other Bubbas are getting to be more like that, too, as they increasingly rely on the income of their wives, help with household chores and with the kids, and are more involved as fathers than their fathers were.
The world is changing. Except maybe in Missouri.

(470 posts)Sounds like a name made up by Ayn Rand for one of her characters. But to the point, why is unreasoning fear of the future and advancing tides of history always the motivational scarecrow for conservatives? They must be so afraid of true freedom, terrified of having to make decisions for themselves without a "Leader," to guide them.

(101,361 posts)Im 99.9 percent sure its not parody, Messmer said. Its not something strategic done by the Democratic side or someone thats looking to criticize the conservative or Republican position.
I do hold back that .1 percent, Messmer said. This might be one of the greatest examples of political performance art Ive ever seen.
Sykes candidacy is so outrageous that Messmer, like me and like the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, cant quite be 100-percent sure its not all a big put-on. I mean, just look at his name. It all seems a bit too well, too something.
...
This Post-Dispatch article is from last fall October 8 but its making news again this week because, on Tuesday, Sykes reposted his womens rights screed on his campaign Facebook site. Thats how it wound up exploding on social media where it has been widely described as a Facebook rant.
But its not that. Thinking of it only as a Facebook rant makes it sound like something written impulsively and then posted hastily by someone who might have spoken more carefully after getting a bit more sleep. Thats not what this is this is from a campaign document voluntarily sent to a newspaper several months ago. Sykes has had several months to rethink, clarify, or qualify his comments, but hasnt done so. The only change he made was to correct his misspelling of Gloria Steinems name.
