Here's what motivated me to look, from "JD Vance Hits Back at Jennifer Aniston, Defending ‘Childless Cat Ladies’ Remarks/The 'Friends' actress, who has been open about her fertility struggles, recently criticized Mr. Vance’s 2021 comments on social media" (NYT):
In [an Instagram] post, which drew widespread attention, [Jennifer Aniston], who has been open about her fertility struggles, wrote, “Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day.”...
“Hollywood celebrities say, ‘Oh, well, JD Vance, what if your daughter suffered fertility problems?’” Mr. Vance said [on “The Megyn Kelly Show” on SiriusXM]. “Well, first of all, that’s disgusting because my daughter is 2 years old. And second of all, if she had fertility problems, as I said in that speech, I would try everything I could to try to help her because I believe families and babies are a good thing.”
Why did he say "that's disgusting"? Was it some kind of notion that Aniston was sexualizing the toddler?! Aniston was being very tactful and delicate, and he's saying it's disgusting? That's very strange. I'm getting a gynophobia vibe.
Here's the Vance quote that provoked Aniston: "We are effectively run in this country… by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made."
By the way, I've seen Aniston's cat, and it is disgusting:
A Minion of the Anti-Christ!

So Anniston thinks she’s “effectively running this country”?
I like it. Turning Anniston's so called sensitivity into a disgusting. It’s what the left does. Deal with it. Anniston is disgusting…
Vance should stick to the story that he was referring to the women who run the country; instead he took the bait and is allowing his limited remarks to be applied to all childless women. We all have childless relatives who are childless for many different reasons. He needs to correct course ASAP.
"Childless cat ladies." Supposedly disrespectful to childless women. Amazing how descriptive words have become insults. I'd have thought the "cat lady" bit was about the pink pussy hat women and was snide.
I don’t care who Lee Greenwood, Jennifer Anniston, Dana White or Taylor Swift support for President. Think for yourself!
The race should be decided on policies; not personalities and celebrity endorsements.
"Was it some kind of notion that Aniston was sexualizing the toddler?"
All of Hollywood sexualizes children. That's all that goes on in Hollywood. Of COURSE he is suggesting that. These people are evil, and we're going to stop them. We're sorry you're upset about your Friends.
Shorter JD Vance: "Keep my children out of your whore mouth."
Attacking people's children will not occur in politics without a VICIOUS rebuttal.
It must be unthinkably difficult to survive exposure to the press on a national scale as a Republican associated with Trump. Is there ANYONE who could pass that level of scrutiny and not come across as some kind of weirdo?
"I'm getting a gynophobia vibe."
I much prefer the posts written by Meade.
He said "that's disgusting" because the celeb didn't do her homework and made remarks at his 2 year old child. We do know he wasn't talking about women with fertility problems. He was talking about the AWFL cat ladies who love abortion, and hate America, the nuclear family and all that America stands for. JA is just another Hollywood lib who, if she had children, who try to transition them. See, I CAN make things up by reading minds also. GYNO BS.
I like it. Turning Anniston's so called sensitivity into a disgusting. It’s what the left does. Deal with it. Anniston is disgusting…
"Oh, my God! What's wrong with your baby?!
"No, that's not a baby. That's a cat."
I agree that his response was appropriate as she was talking about his daughter and including her in a political argument.
“Why did he say "that's disgusting"? Was it some kind of notion that Aniston was sexualizing the toddler?! Aniston was being very tactful and delicate, and he's saying it's disgusting? That's very strange. I'm getting a gynophobia vibe. “
I don’t think he was reviewing Rachel’s Instagram Post and analyzing what she might have meant by it, looking so see if she’s “tactful and delicate”. I bet he was just asked about it out of the blue (probably hadn’t seen it at all) and he took it as weird on first hearing it because his daughter’s 2. Is find it weird too.
Why did you jump to vagina-phobia? Seems like an over reaction.
Did Rachel know his daughter was only two? If so, maybe her comments weren’t as “tactful and delicate” as you give her credit for.
This made me think of the time Obama referred to his daughter and said “I wouldn’t want her burdened with a baby” (maybe not an exact quote). I found it a little weird he did that (thought it was a little “sexualizing”), but at least she was a teen if I recall.
Pretty sure he was just using "disgusting" as a synonym for "outrageous" and "inappropriate." Nothing to do with sexualizing anything, just that her comments were completely off base. Vance had made clear at the time he was not talking about women with infertility issues. He was disgusted at her smear.
I think is a dumb to get in cat fights with b celebrities. That said, I think parents of 2 year olds see them as just that and not the future when they will be grown adults. I would think sexualizing 2 years old is disgusting, but I understand being cruelly neutral to the party of LGBTQ+, but I don’t see a gynophobia vibe. Then again, that same party thinks any disagreement, so I’m getting a partiality vibe.
How many straight men are vagina phobic? I suspect it is a small minority. Most men spend considerably time, money and effort in vagina-philic pursuit.
It is the woman attached to the vagina that we are often phobic about. I would say with good reason sometimes. I won't get in an elevator alone with a woman I don't know. It is not her vagina that I am afraid of.

Trump chose Vance to reassure his base when Biden was his opponent. He is now a dead weight or worse, as he brings no new voters in, and offends a mighty large number. Hillbilly Elegy on the horizon.
she still lives in LA, which is a rolling dumpsterfire, probably voted for gascon, who has made it that way,
"Hollywood celebrities say, ‘Oh, well, JD Vance, what if your daughter suffered fertility problems?’”
His daughters is two years old. In the age of gender corruption, Dyonisian parades, rent-a-wombs, friends with "benefits", and pedophile sexual orientation, try harder.
I may be White Trash but even I know it’s rude to talk about women’s children.
Jennifer has her fertility problems---and I have sympathy for that, being the grandfather of two children born through IVF (some women get a late start in the baby game) But she fails to understand how a man who comes from--and survives--a truly dysfunctional family--will be outraged by even a passing slight or reference to his family or his children. J.D. made it out of that world and is happily protecting his own family and children. Jennifer--you didn't build the family that J.D. and his wife have, and you can't--and shouldn't talk about it.
“Why did he say "that's disgusting"? Was it some kind of notion that Aniston was sexualizing the toddler?! Aniston was being very tactful and delicate, and he's saying it's disgusting? That's very strange. I'm getting a gynophobia vibe.”
Not only strange, but…weird.
It does smack of gynophobia, if the thought of his two year old daughter growing up and one day be a reproductive adult woman is disgusting to him, how is he going to react when she hits puberty and begins menstruating? He seems to see women who have children as fertility goddesses, and childless women as shameful creatures of some sort.
Trump choosing this fool as VP is a huge gift to Democrats.
JD needs to learn to pick his battles. Celebrities aren't serious. Save it for real threats.
Vance's cat lady comment is almost on a par with Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" for tone deafness and not particularly intelligent political self harm. It will reduce the appeal of the Trump campaign. The truth is closer to the old saw that your vice president can’t help you much, but they can hurt you.

The dullard has some serious competition in the wisdom department.
LLR-democratical Rich: "Trump chose Vance to reassure his base when Biden was his opponent. He is now a dead weight or worse, as he brings no new voters in, and offends a mighty large number. Hillbilly Elegy on the horizon."
LOL
If Vance was dead weight Li'l LLR-democratical Chuck-lite Rich would be fighting tooth and nail to keep him on the ticket! Rich wants him off because his New Soviet Democratical masters want him off the ticket.....and there's a reason for that.....
And if one thinks that mentioning Vance’s two year old daughter one day being an adult woman is disgusting, one could take a look and listen to what Trump has said about his own daughter Ivanka. Or when he said he would be “dating” the little girl on the escalator in 10 years.
The vibe I get is Anniston wishing infertility on Vance’s young daughter. Disgusting….
White Karen Savior Inga: "It does smack of gynophobia, if the thought of his two year old daughter growing up and one day be a reproductive adult woman is disgusting to him, how is he going to react when she hits puberty and begins menstruating? He seems to see women who have children as fertility goddesses, and childless women as shameful creatures of some sort."
LOL
And here we see what makes Inga so susceptible to the never ending series of New Soviet Democratical hoaxes, which Inga chomps down hard on as the hoaxes are rolled out in serial fashion almost daily....she is already spring loaded to create her own! Feeble as they are.
And remember, the Inga's of the world screamed at the top of their lungs for years to LEAVE HUNTER ALONE!!!
Remember, Inga believes Joey Dementia, who literally showered with and sexualized his own 12 year old daughter is honorable, which is why she spends so much time attempting to portray the psycho sexual sicko biden family sins onto the Trump family...which has NONE of those issues.
I think Vance would do better if he simply said something like: "I think it's important that Americans bear and raise children. It's the most gratifying role that any of us can take on, as humans. As a society, we have a declining birth rate, and that's a problem. And if fertility is an issue, it's important that people have all the options to address health-related problems or explore adoption, or otherwise embark on the joys of raising a family. This is a given. A society that provides a healthy, secure environment to raise families is a society that will grow and develop into something even better.
The statement being spotlighted is taken out of context; it was made over 3 years ago and was a sarcastic reference to a kind of frustrated, emotionally-unstable single woman that struggles to find fulfillment in today's society. I think these circumstances are highly unfortunate. But I want the public policies I'm governed by, to be created by people that share my values and understand the plight of today's American families."
I just read the wiki entry on Ella Wilcox the cat lady whose picture Althouse features just below. I'd like to pass on the readers here why I find her disgusting....She has a pretty, sensitive face and, by some measures, she is not at all like a cat lady. She had a successful marriage and an apparently successful life. She didn't make the big money that an attractive poet can nowadays make on Only Fans, but she traveled widely and her work was recognized....Here's the parts that are more typical of a cat lady: She and her husband were in love and shared an interest in Theosophy. Well and good, but when he failed to make contact with her after his death, she fell into the slough of despond. That's the stuff of cat ladies..... She became a vegetarian and an advocate of animal rights. Again well and good, but please take note of the hat that she is wearing in the picture posted below. It's a fine creation with a plumed crest worthy of an exotic bird in heat. That's what I find disgusting. I imagine quite a few birds gave their lives under distressing circumstances to add that bit of finery to her wardrobe. I genuinely enjoy her poetry, but I think this bit of hypocrisy should go into our judgement of her as a human being. It's hard to live outside of the mores of your era, but that bit of tacit bird slaughter should not pass unnoticed. True feminists should not celebrate her, nor indeed any ladies that wore such hats.
Vance has a few positives for the hard core MAGA crowd. But they won't decide the election as their votes are priced in. The up-to-now-undecided will. There is probably only about 5-7% of the electorate that will shift it either way. A guy who can turn on a dime on any issue and otherwise has weird statements and positions (the article doesn't even mention that he is close to Project 2025) might be just too much on top of Trump who is too old and weird in his own right.
Vance's cat lady comment is almost on a par with Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" for tone deafness and not particularly intelligent political self harm.
can't we, as a Nation, All Agree that cat ladies are THE PROBLEM?
people THINK The Problem is the 19th amendment.. But it's NOT!
Married women (in fact All Moms) are kinda basically sane..
It's cat ladies that have caused ALL THE Problems in our world
Covid
Covid vaccines
Covid lockdowns
Inflation
global warming
global cooling
climate change
worry about global warming
worry about global cooling
worry about climate change
The Ukraine War
It's ALL because of cat ladies!
Even Hannah Barron doesn't have cats.. Just dogs; and She sticks her arms into giant catfish!
(and, should Probably Be Running Our Country)
"The statement being spotlighted is taken out of context..."
Supposing...
"I think Vance would do better if he simply said something like..."
What's to stop those taking things out of context in the spotlighted statement from doing the same thing with the 'do better' statement? Leftards are going to lie, it's what they do.
Is Aniston's fertility issue the reason she's single?
With all her wealth she could adopt and support many children...albeit sans father.
But give credit to her for the attempt to stay relevant.
Maybe ask Vance's wife whether he's "gynophobic".
LLR-democratical Rich just keeps going back to that dry, dryer, dryest talking point "well". It's not working but what else can you do when your fearless leader Chuck is "gone" and lonejustice is simply too pathetic to support the New Soviet Democratical talking point effort at Althouse blog?
Mason G: "What's to stop those taking things out of context in the spotlighted statement from doing the same thing with the 'do better' statement? Leftards are going to lie, it's what they do."
Quite so. It still surprises me how many conservatives/republicans seem to believe that these things can be nuanced and tweaked to keep the New Soviet Democraticals from doing what they do best: Ruparing everything and, when that opportunity doesn't arise, simply making up things out of thin air like the "drink bleach" hoax or "loser and suckers" hoax and about a hundred more.
Aniston's infertility means God judged her unworthy of being a mother. Why should we as a society trust the judgment of someone like that?
Aniston was being very tactful and delicate,
No she wasn’t.
and he's saying it's disgusting?
Because of course it is.
That's very strange.
No it isn’t. Republicans are very tired (or “tarred,” as Hillary Clinton used to say when talking down to black audiences) of liberals trying to play gotchya games by attacking our minor children. Aniston and Althouse alike should learn to leave kids alone.
I’m getting a gynophobia vibe.
Found something you can twist into a slur? The elitist whose parents could afford to send her out of state to get a bullshit (BFA) degree trying to gin up hatred against the guy who clawed his way out of poverty in Appalachia because how dare a cis white guy do that without the written permission of NOW or some comparable organization?

Vance explicitly singled out women who choose to be childless.
He specifically talked about women/couples who have problems conceiving and helping them get help. He is clearly in favor of supporting fertility treatments.
Jennifer Aniston is a cunt. The "What if your kid had this awful thing happen to them" argument is garbage and made in bad faith.
The main problem is that Aniston and her fellow democrat travelers are constantly wishing for bad things to happen to their political opponents. Everyone knows that if JD Vance's 2 year old daughter actually did have fertility problems democrats like Anistion and Inga would be all out there yelling "see! see! I was right!" and it would make them happy. It is because they are terrible people who hate children and have lots of cats.
Obama shutting down school choice programs while sending his kids to private school is the counterexample of when that type of argument is made in good faith. He actually hurt children with his policies.
Which way are you going here, Althouse? Vance is saying that it is disgusting to draw his cherubic baby daughter into this. Would he say that if Anniston had referenced his sister? Who knows?
The fact is that JD said something three years ago (was he a senator yet?) that is uncomplimentary about a significant part of the Dems' client base, namely unmarried and childless women. I have heard the Dems (Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Harris, Schiff, etc.) say extremely false and indeed defamatory about the GOP's voter base, namely, that they are racist. Any high dudgeon going that way?
This is what a rock 'em, sock 'em campaign looks like. The insults are going to fly. I don't believe in this sort of campaign, but we have the politicians we have.
Can we get a "Stupid Hollywood actor" tag? Or is that redundant?
I'm not quite sure what the Harris campaign running on. #1 is Orange man bad of course, but the recent attacks suggest she is trying to make the contest between herself and Vance. Let the media take care of the Trump hate and position herself as a Democrat Vice President against The Republican VP pick. Bring the margin of fraud back into play.
I can't imagine she would ever debate Trump, that would be a disaster for her, but debating Vance would be even worse due to the optics. No debate, she's not able to think on her feet. Both Trump and Vance can. And running on her record, like Trump is doing, is a non starter. Back to the basement Joe vacated is her best chance.
Why did he say "that's disgusting"? Was it some kind of notion that Aniston was sexualizing the toddler?! Aniston was being very tactful and delicate, and he's saying it's disgusting? That's very strange. I'm getting a gynophobia vibe.
Yup. Anyone that disagrees with Ann is a Gynophobe. Good argument Ann. You should be proud of it.
Here's the Vance quote that provoked Aniston: "We are effectively run in this country… by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made."
Let us look at the actual quote from 3 years ago since people like Ann want to be dishonest about this:
“We’re effectively run in this country—via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs—by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too,”
“How does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”
Women who try to have children and cannot are not making a choice so they are obviously excluded from his comment.
Aniston brought the fertility issue in and attacked Vance's 2 year old daughter.
First off this attack is completely dishonest because Vance clearly talked about women who made a choice to not have children. Stop participating in this dishonesty.
Second take your "Aniston was being very tactful and delicate" civility crap and flush it down the toilet with all of the "too bad the shooter missed" and "MAGA is a threat to democracy" crap where it belongs. There is nothing tactful or delicate about anything these people are doing.
On the one hand it's good to fight back against celebrity attacks. Probably why DJT picked JDV. On the other hand Vance et al. need to reach some of the Althouses. As the post suggests, you have to at least pretend that attacks involving your daughter are "tactful and delicate." Express empathy. Accentuate the positive. Can't come on too strong. Play the game.
"Aniston's infertility means God judged her unworthy of being a mother."
Perhaps it was simply waiting until she was too old?
"My late 30s, 40s, I'd gone through really hard shit, and if it wasn't for going through that, I would've never become who I was meant to be," says Aniston, then explaining: "I was trying to get pregnant."
"The success rates for IVF are 25.1 percent for maternal ages 38-40, and 12.7 percent for ages 41-42, according to data from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology."

Althouse writes, "I'm getting a gynophobia vibe."
Don't pull that "phobia" trick; it doesn't work the way you may think it works. The nice people who coined Islamophobia have utterly ruined that rhetorical dodge. "So you've noticed my iniquitous deeds and opinions, well shame on you for disagreeing with Mohammad!"
And stop vibrating. It's bad for your health.
“…Inga would be all out there yelling "see! see! I was right!" and it would make them happy. It is because they are terrible people who hate children and have lots of cats.”
Dear Weirdo…
I have no cats, I have three living children and one who died, I have 5 grandchildren I adore.
I'm pretty sure Vance reacted with "disgusting" because he recognized the passive-aggressive phrasing of "I pray your daughter is fortunate..."
Amadeus 48: "Which way are you going here, Althouse? Vance is saying that it is disgusting to draw his cherubic baby daughter into this. Would he say that if Anniston had referenced his sister? Who knows?"
Anniston would never reference his sister. New Soviet Democraticals went after Palin's Down Syndrome baby. They even demanded to see the birth certificate to "prove" Palin was the mother. Letterman joked about Palin's underage daughter being raped.
But remember, LEAVE HUNTER ALONE!!!!
Inga: "I have 5 grandchildren I adore."
Well, lets just hope they don't grow up to be raped and murdered by your "Spark of Divinity" MS-13 illegal alien heroes.
Jennifer Anniston jumped into this. No one made her do so. Since she volunteered she's fair target and gets to take whatever comes. If she complains, well...

Let us all see how honest Rich is.
Post Vance's actual quote in full. You can take it out of my comment above. Easy.
Then talk about all of the groups that are mentioned in his comment and the size of those groups. Then compare that to the Basket of Deplorables. Give us all an estimate of the relative sizes of these groups.
Then please tell me how many voters will actually change their mind because of the groups Vance singled out for condemnation.
Then please tell us how similar his comment about childless cat ladies was to the basket of deplorables comment.

I think that was a flag, 16 years ago, yes they couldn't even acknowledge she was a mother,
in that case, flashforward 14 years and they were nonplussed about baby formula shortage,
I am also going to point out that democrats have a long history of attacking the kids of political opponents.
Trig Palin had democrats spouting off conspiracy theories, climbing into Sara's womb, and longing for abortion access for years.
Speaking of New Soviet Democratical hoaxes, parroted endlessly at Althouse blog by all the Usual Suspects, even CNN had enough of the Project 2025 lies and surprisingly actually published a very thorough debunking of it all. Which is tough on the New Soviet Democraticals since that was going to be a big one heading into the fall.
Rich might just be the hardest hit on that one.
From the post:
"I'm getting a gynophobia vibe."
I think you could try to make a case for misogyny, but gynophobia? I'm not seeing irrational fear. I'll reserve judgment on misogyny until more facts come available to establish it.
"I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too."
Is there any evidence supporting that accusation by Anniston?
Gynophobia is a charge passing strange to make against a man who is married and has sired children, let alone one who praises the grandmother who raised him.
Doesn’t Cat Lady = Karen with a cat. Also he said miserable, childless cat lady with the emphasis on MISERABLE. Karen’s make their misery everyone’s misery. That’s miserable.
Women with sons always worry when war-happy Democrats are in power. Childless cat ladies have no skin in the game.
"I'm getting a gynophobia vibe."
He was talking to Megyn Kelly. I admit she can be pretty scary when she gets on your case.
"Rich"
A guy who can turn on a dime on any issue and otherwise has weird statements and positions (the article doesn't even mention that he is close to Project 2025) might be just too much on top of Trump who is too old and weird in his own right.
"Rich" obviously hasn't seen that Trump golf video. "Turn on a dime" reminds me of communists who did so when Hitler invaded the USSR.
"I'm getting a gynophobia vibe."
“You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes,” Trump told CNN’s Don Lemon on Friday night. “Blood coming out of her wherever.”
Reading Igna’s comments about Vance tells me one helluva lot about who the Dims fear long term.
I agree. But it's not just gynophobia. The male dread of woman and their bodies is often seen as a driving force towards homosexuality. Maybe Mr. Vance is gay or "gay adjacent" at least?
“Maybe Mr. Vance is gay or "gay adjacent" at least?”
I wonder who taught him how to apply his eyeliner.
Inga going Full Panic Mode!
Its amusing.
Will someone please find a fake poll showing Harris doing well for Inga's sake?
I mean considering the full tongue bath* she's gotten this week, she should be five points ahead,
* that would embarass Thulsa doom, snake god high priest,
Anything to deflect from the record and desires of Mamala the Border Czar.
Inga, you should attend to the screams coming from your "migrant" shack.
Much as Romney was asked about banning contraceptives or something dumb like that, this is just the media focusing on what the Democrats asked them to focus on.
Economy is bad, border is broken, inflation is up....
But the democrats only have abortion, so let's talk about women's issues.
Also, everyone thinks its totally gauche to talk about birth rates...but in a few years if social security is in trouble, its gonna be a topic.
Already Taiwan offers women $300 per month if they have a kid, and South Korea is considering paying for nannies/servants.
You guys think minor word games with Vance matters...just wait until SS has to be cut by 33% because not enough young workers to pay for all the retirees.
As one, the Left have decided to call Vance a weirdo. I don't get it. It's not an epithet or an insult. Who came up with this word and disseminated it as if it was an own?
"As one, the Left have decided to call Vance a weirdo. "
Well, no. The New Soviet Democratical leaders determined this might be an effective word to use and let their voice actuated morons know about it....and we can see from this thread just who is included in that NPC automaton crew.....can't we Inga?
Also, using a politician's child to score partisan points is totally disgusting. And Aniston was cribbing from better material.
"I hope that both of you have sons! Handsome, beautiful, articulate sons, who are talented and star athletes, and they have their legs taken away!"
Vance would've been better off just quoting the proper response to her:
"Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby!"
He should have used a word like unrealistic instead of the word disgusting. Now nobody will vote for Trump.
I have a lot of DVDs listing Jennifer Aniston (including some I haven't watched) but I don't remember any plots except for The Switch (2010), curiously related to fertility exceptionalism.
“By the way, I've seen Aniston's cat, and it is disgusting:”
I have never seen her cat, but I doubt it is that disgusting.
I think JD and Jen should get together for a healing hug and bury the hatchet, that would be a Kodak moment.
Vance should just say what he really means: we live in a lesbian matriarchy.
Alt house’s gynophobia remark has a pajama NIG vibe to it.
Anyone here recall that one?
The big lie is Jennifer Aniston prays. What prayer did she say for JD Vance’s family? In church? At bedtime? First thing in the morning?

“You guys think minor word games with Vance matters...just wait until SS has to be cut by 33% because not enough young workers to pay for all the retirees.”
I think that the cat ladies (and the childless-by-choice gays) assume that open borders will solve that. But they, being bad at math, don’t see the disconnect between young, lower wage earning immigrants supporting a cohort of mostly white retirees who paid in at much higher rate and thus expect to be paid out at rates that said immigrants cannot bear.
People like Aniston don’t even need SS; she (they?) see kids as middle-aged trophies.Dads are not required.
Gynophobia vibe? One of the more disappointing posts.
one could take a look and listen to what Trump has said about his own daughter Ivanka.
Why? Did he shower with her?
Why did he say "that's disgusting"? Was it some kind of notion that Aniston was sexualizing the toddler?! Aniston was being very tactful and delicate, and he's saying it's disgusting? That's very strange. I'm getting a gynophobia vibe.
It would be disgusting if talking about a two year old son, too.
Don't talk about kids having kids, that's not difficult.
And there's a video going around if what he termed "throat clearing", where he stated "I'm not talking about people who can't have kids. I know some, and I appreciate their pain." Or words to that effect.
What ever happened to politicians kids are off limits? Chelsea where are you?
The 'disgusting' comment probably comes from talking about his 2 year old child having babies, or not. Pretty simple, really.
And also, "childless cat lady" doesn't mean that person is not physically capable of having children. Indeed, that's the whole point, I believe, to the insult.
As a father of a formerly 2 year old daughter, I see the question as disgusting because it uses an innocent party in a debate not about infertility, but about self-imposed childlessness. Aniston and the interviewer essentially asked, "What if your child suffers?" when the issue is about choices freely made by adult women. That is disgusting.
