In Wisconsin — yes, the same state where lawmakers have introduced a bill penalizing single mothers for being unmarried — a Republican state representative has come out against divorce for any reason — even domestic abuse.
Instead of leaving an abusive situation, women should try to remember the things they love about their husbands, Representative Don Pridemore said. “If they can re-find those reasons and get back to why they got married in the first place it might help,” he told a local news station.
His cohort, Republican state Senator Glenn Grothman, adds this: “There’s been a huge change over the last 30 years, and a lot of that change has been the choice of the women.”
Got that, ladies? After your husband has beaten you, instead of packing your bags you should make a list of all the reasons you married him in the first place… because that will help the bruises heal faster. Besides it’s all your fault. After all, the changes of the last 30 years have been choices of women. You don’t like being abused? Then you shouldn’t have left the kitchen.
Yeah, no war on women here.
I swear, many Republicans want to return to the days when women were chattel.
