Trump and Pence meet with 30 men to discuss women shit

[AudriTwo]

No seriously. Appears to be a room full of dongs discussing pregnancy, maternity leave, family planning.

I'm so tired of this shit. Half those dudes probably think women can control when/if their periods come and that tampons are sex toys.

Shocked that he was willing to take time off from his busy golf schedule. His game will surely suffer. Sad!

Not just men, white men. It's like watching newsreel footage from the 1960s--only with better production values. That's progress.... /s

Well they do predominantly seem to be from an older generation... White, male and baby boomers.

I can't help but feel with how much the times have changed, not only should there be a mixture of gender and race, but also a mixture of ages. Otherwise how are policies ever going to suit the people in modern day if the people deciding are a small part of the population born to a different time?

I'd say wealthy (inherited of course) white old men.

Bahahahahahaha I saw the other side of the pic and there is like 4 women there who I'm thinking get talked over and mansplained about THEIR bodies and how they work.

I'm not a huge fan of Amy Schumer but she had this skit about her going to the Gyno and it was hilarious and so true.
Must WATCH its too funny!!!

Well this seems reasonable, old white guys know best after all.

Their next meeting straight after that one was to decide on the future of rap music.

Here's an interesting take on that infamous photo, from Jill Filipovic, an opinion writer at the NY Times:

Mr. Trump promised he would make America great again, a slogan that included the implicit pledge to return white men to their place of historic supremacy. And that is precisely what these photos show. The same kind of men who have been in charge of the United States since its founding, so very proud of themselves for trying to ax the rights that make it possible for women to chart their own futures — and to compete with men.

. . .

Yet this, too, is a choice, and it also sends a message about the party’s values and to whom it appeals. Republicans bank on a white male voter base that is shrinking demographically, yet they are making no real effort to broaden their appeal, perhaps counting on voter suppression to make it harder for likely Democratic voters to cast their ballots, and simultaneously throwing red meat to the men they need to turn out to carry them to victory.

That’s why Mr. Trump’s infamous lewd comments about his conduct with women weren’t actually a liability. The people those comments offended weren’t going to vote for him in the first place, and the people most drawn to Mr. Trump liked him because he’s an unrepentant chauvinist, not in spite of it.

The Trump team is well aware of this dynamic, which is why it doesn’t spend much time worrying about even putting forward a facade of diversity. The great America it promised has white men at the top, and that’s the image they’re projecting, figuratively and literally. It’s not an error, it’s the game plan.
