JD Vance recently said he had forbidden his wife from going skydiving, humorously likening it to a situation in Iran. He elaborates on the 'benefits' of controlling tendencies, both for women and their partners.

It keeps women safe: Vance jokes that controlling women isn't about insecurity, it's about their safety. After all, if you don't stop them from skydiving, they might end up bullfighting next.

They have more free time: By dictating what women wear or do, they supposedly have more time for things like cleaning and baking, fitting his brand of conservative Catholicism.

Women cannot be trusted to go out: Vance humorously suggests asking women invasive questions about their outings to prevent them from ending up in compromising situations.

You sound like a big man: He quips that male friends are impressed by declarations of controlling one's wife, though he doubts anyone thinks he's a 'pathetic asshole.' He'll check if he ever has friends.

It's only feminism that makes them want free will: Vance claims feminism brainwashes women into thinking they don't want to be stay-at-home baby factories, although he's 'generous' enough to let his wife change nappies without consulting him.

Women are basically children: Like children with sweets, women supposedly do things unaware of the consequences. Hence, he 'agrees' with his wife that she shouldn't use the internet unsupervised.
