In a television appearance three years ago, J.D. Vance called Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris, “a bunch of cat ladies with no kids who are unhappy.”
Since Kamala Harris is likely the Democratic nominee, those 2021 comments are resurfacing on social media, sparking anger from women who say they insult those with fertility issues and pretend that childless people “don’t have a vested interest” in the country’s future.
Meanwhile, many social media users are proudly calling themselves “childless cat lady”. Some even consider billionaire Taylor Swift a successful “cat lady”—Time magazine’s 2023 “Person of the Year” cover depicted her with her kitty around her neck.
“There is a movement,” said Florida former Democratic National Committee member Nikki Barnes in a post with a graphic captioned “Childless cat ladies for Harris 2024” that rapidly attracted over 2 million views. TikTok users buy stickers with the same message.
The outrage over Vance’s comments, which were widely shared and have nearly 28 million views in an X-rated post filed Monday, shows how women’s reproductive rights, including abortion, birth control, and in vitro fertilization, will shape the 2024 race. Since Kamala Harris is likely the Democratic nominee, sexist and racist attacks against her will increase.
In 2014, Harris, 59, married Douglas Emhoff and became a stepmother to Ella and Cole. She is very involved in their lives. As Vance noted, “the entire future of Democrats is controlled by people without children,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg became the father of adopted twins.
Kamala Harris’ spokesman Ammar Moussa added, “unlike Donald Trump and JD Vance, Vice President Harris understands that every American has a stake in the future of this country.”
Not always possible to have biological children.
The July 2021 speech in which Vance blasted the “childless left” but added that “there are of course people who, for biological or medical reasons, cannot have children” is disputed by his advocates. They are not targeted by these words.”
However, many ladies remind Mr. Vance that some women do not have children for various reasons.
“I really can’t believe this is coming from a potential Vice President of the United States,” Jennifer Aniston posted on Instagram Wednesday, criticizing Vance. The Friends star added, “Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter has children someday.”
I hope she doesn’t need IVF. You’re attempting to take that from her, too.” While Mr. Trump supports in vitro fertilization, Senate Republicans blocked a bill to protect access to it last month, and the issue arose in February when the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are people and can be held liable for destroying them.
Reproductive health disorders like PCOS and endometriosis can affect a woman’s ability to conceive and carry a child. Female fertility reduces with age, and a lack of health or child welfare services might also influence the decision to have a child.
Written about her infertility, Jennifer Aniston said “we don’t have to be married or mothers to be complete.”
Wednesday, Whoopi Goldberg of The View commented: “Sir, there are people who have chosen not to have children,” she added. “Some people want children but can’t. How dare you? You have no children, but your wife has. You are unaware of this.
Meghan McCain, a talk show host and daughter of Arizona Republican senator John McCain, wrote on X: “I have tried to warn every conservative man I know — these comments from JD are mobilizing women of all stripes, including my most conservative friends who support Trump.” The statements were hurtful and anti-Christian. We’re not like that, she said.
Buttigieg told CNN that Vance’s comments followed his and his partner’s arduous adoption process. “He couldn’t have known, but maybe that’s why you don’t talk about other people’s kids,” he added.
“Cat women” vote.
JD Vance criticized “childless cat ladies who are unhappy in their own lives and the choices they’ve made, and who want to make the rest of the country unhappy too” in 2021. Online, women have criticized the idea that childless individuals are miserable.
“I had absolutely no idea I was unhappy,” writes CSI: Crime Scene Investigation actress Liz Vassey on the X-rated network. “Luckily, a man told me.”
Vance spoke as more Americans choose not to have children. Under a 2021 Pew Research survey, 44% of U.S. people ages 18 to 49 are childless and unlikely to have children, up 7 percentage points in three years. 56% didn’t want children, 19% had medical reasons, and 17% couldn’t afford them.
Some social media users say childless cat women vote and are cultural celebrities. “It’s cheeky for someone seeking votes to target ‘childless cat ladies,’ when TAYLOR SWIFT leads them,” wrote Caitlin Moran. Swift, 34, credits her three cats as her major influences.
Swifties have flooded the conversation. Someone on TikTok paired Taylor Swift’s cover of Time with “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me.”
Another posted a video of Swift riding a unicorn-clad Olivia with the caption: “Childless cat ladies head to the polls in November to vote for Harris.”
Lawyer and Lawfare journalist Anna Bower said on X that “hell knows no fury like that of a childless cat lady who has not yet chosen a presidential candidate.”
