Vance, Trump, & GOP Pundits Need To Try A Period Cramp Simulator

Neither GOP nominee (and former U.S. President) Donald J. Trump nor his running mate U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) can’t shake off being called “weird.” In the case of Vance, who claimed to have “pulled himself up by the bootstraps,” he lived a privileged life and many called him out on it.
Bobi Conn wrote a piece for TIME and criticized Vance’s memoir Hillbilly Elegy. Conn claimed that many Appalachians are pissed at Vance and want to take back what it means to be a “hillbilly.” She also called out Vance’s remark about “bootstraps,” which is something Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), who VP Kamala Harris (D-California) officially picked as her running mate, brought up by saying that he “didn’t have any boots.” Walz addressed Hillbilly Elegy and said Vance didn’t know what he was talking about.
While Vance claims (in his book) that there is cultural angst, Walz claims that it was people like Vance who hurt Middle America. Conn explains that many Appalachians have no solid ground to gain footing. That meant they had neither boots nor bootstraps, which Walz pointed out. Vance’s hypocrisy was called out as Conn explained that the U.S. Senator got to where he is today because of government policies and programs. Despite getting a scholarship to attend Yale, Vance benefited from how the education system was structured.
Conn and Walz rightfully call Vance a hypocrite. It will be an interesting VP debate between Walz and Vance if there is one. The hypocrisy is one of the reasons that Walz said the Republicans (let alone Vance) were “weird” which stuck with Trump and Vance.
Many examples justify calling Vance “weird” even though it’s an insult to “weirdness.”
Award-winning actor Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation, The Last of Us, 22 Jump Street, and more) participated in an online event called “Comics For Kamala” by singing a song where he didn’t hold back when calling Trump and Vance “f–king weird.”
Offerman said that he used to be a Republican but left the GOP because the party’s leader was convicted of 34 felonies and that it pandered to white nationalists.
Offerman also called the white nationalists “weird.”
Samantha Allen wrote a piece for THEM roasting Trump and Vance for being unable to handle being called “weird” for a week. Allen bluntly added that what Trump and Vance are going through doesn’t remotely compare to what the trans community goes through regularly. While those two got defensive after a week, Allen and other members of the trans community get called “weird” regularly.
One of the “weirdest” takes, which takes the entire f–king cake, is that Vance wants to be a “menstrual surveillance hawk.” He wants to use law enforcement to track women who travel out of their states seeking abortions. Vance and other Republicans in Congress tried to pressure the administration of the current U.S. President Joe Biden (D-Delaware) to withdraw a rule that prevents states from punishing women who leave their states, if abortions are illegal, and head to other states where abortions are legal.
Because of Vance’s stance on abortion rights where he champions tracking the menstrual cycles of women, there is an effective way to go after him: openly and repeatedly challenge him to experience a period cramp simulator. I know Vance wouldn’t take the challenge but he can be hammered repeatedly by calling him a coward or doubling down on calling him “weird.”
The period cramp simulator allows men to experience what women go through during their periods.
There was an event in Canada that allowed men to try the period cramp simulator.
One of the men at the event was a police officer on duty. He was educated on what women suffer through when on their periods. The officer said he didn’t want to leave the chair but the woman in the video said that he still had s–t to do and couldn’t waste any time sitting there.
The woman also added that bosses don’t care if a woman is currently on her period.
Actor and TV host Mario Lopez (Saved By The Bell) tried a labor simulator that allowed him to experience what women go through when they’re in labor. While he underwent the sensations, Lopez was forced to do pelvic exercises on a workout ball.
Lopez’s wife stole the show and told the doctor to crank it to “level 12.”
It was apparent that Lopez’s wife enjoyed the spectacle. Once the machine took the sensation to level 12, Lopez called it quits. Lopez’s wife said watching Mario go through the labor simulator was the “best Mother’s Day gift.”
5-time World’s Strongest Man champion Brian Shaw lost a bet to his wife and held up his end when his wife stipulated that he experience a birthing simulator. Before that though, Shaw was told to wear a weight on his belly to mimic a pregnant woman while getting warmed up with exercises.
When Shaw tried the birthing simulator, it was an excruciating pain that he never experienced in his entire life. He said that it felt like his stomach was ripping apart.
The moral of the story is that the dudes can’t handle the pains that women go through, regardless of how big and fit the guy is, yet men expect women to go about their daily lives while experiencing those pains. We have to understand that period and labor pains are NOT normal despite women having to experience them regularly.
We know Vance will double down on his anti-abortion stance, especially to appeal to the MAGA base, might as well challenge Vance to undergo the period cramp and birthing simulators.
Again, neither he nor Trump would accept the challenge.
Then again, it would be hilarious if either of them tried those simulators. Take a few seconds and picture J.D. Vance spending a few minutes experiencing what women go through regularly (period cramps) and when giving birth (labor pains). Would Vance walk back on his remarks about childless adults afterward?
Probably NOT but I’d be surprised if he did.
Imagine if Trump went through the simulator and then tried to dismiss the pain afterward. Now picture the bulls–t from Trump’s mouth trying to dismiss and diminish the pain that women go through.
Again, I wouldn’t waste my breath. If enough people (feminists, women’s rights advocates, pro-choice advocates, etc) openly challenge Vance to experience the period cramp and labor pain simulators, even though we know Vance won’t accept the challenge, it could be enough to keep Vance on the defensive.
If Vance is kept on the defensive, he’ll be of even less help to Trump. It is highly speculated that Trump could replace Vance as his running mate. What better way to keep Vance on the defensive than by openly challenging him to try those simulators? Vance won’t take the challenge, he can be attacked for cowardice, reinforcing what Harris said about Trump ducking the originally scheduled debate on September 10.
Trump initially accepted but backed out and stipulated that he’ll only participate if it’s on Fox News, but Harris isn’t taking the bait. Despite Trump calling Harris a coward, this is the same Fox News that settled with Dominion Voting Systems in the defamation suit. If Fox News didn’t settle, it likely would had to pay over $1 billion.
Harris didn’t take the bait and should never agree to go on Fox News. Looking at the defamation suit, Fox News shouldn’t be allowed to hold a debate or town hall. Users on Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform, are unhappy that Trump backed out of the debate.
Backtrack to Vance, if he refuses the challenge, call him cowardly like Trump.
Imagine Vance accepting the challenge but then finding an excuse to back out afterward, then he can get (politically) hammered for the rest of the election cycle. There would be no effective way for Vance to fight back or work around it which makes his polling drop lower, making him a toxic asset to the already toxic Trump campaign.
Vance, Trump, the architects behind Project 2025, and other right-wing dudes should constantly be challenged to try those pain simulators. Yes, most (if not all) will take the challenge, but we can keep hammering them.
You can read my other version f–king.
