“I don’t know if I would vote for any female,” said state senate hopeful Mylie Biggs, the daughter of GOP Rep. Andy Biggs.

Note: The article is from August 6th, but it's too funny not to post.

Either:

A) you’re wrong, which means I shouldn’t vote for you, or

B) you’re right, which means I shouldn’t vote for you

If you don't vote for her, you're endorsing her statement against women holding office. Checkmate liberals! /s

Catch 22 was a great book

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 80 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I can't just understand women who degrade themselves like this.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago

Stockholm syndrome burned in over a lifetime of culturally-acceptable brainwashing. Wouldn't want to go against what Pastor McGrifty said last Sunday, would we? That's a good little second-class citizen (at best).

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It makes more sense during sex, but yeah its off putting in other contexts.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does it? I'm aware of, but do not personally get, the humiliation kink.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Some women like that shit in bed, but aren't like that in day-to-day life.

SOURCE: Had sex with 50+ women. They all be different. Because they're humans. We're weird.

Don't call her a human. She'll be so offended.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 11 points 1 month ago

I’m convinced it’s a sex thing leaking out. They are so repressed they don’t even realize it’s a kink.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Radtrads are more than a wee bit insane

[–] DriftingLynx@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Yup their dial goes to 11.

[–] DreamAccountant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Read any religious text and it'll become clear very quickly. Abusive religions turn people into both abusers and the abused, and if you don't believe me, you'll burn forever in a pit of boiling fire. That's what religious people think. I think you'll be just fine. Especially without those fucked up religions, and the fucked up religoius people that support them.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 45 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Please stop supporting these morons.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

If I remember she's running because Daddy told her too. He's moving to another position.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

huh. so "sleeper female".

Probably going to just ask dad how she should vote on any particular issue. So he'll get to be governor and still control the seat he vacated.

That's genius. Evil, but genius.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's not genius, that's how political dynasties work. It's why having entire families in politics usually leads to terrible outcomes.

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 7 points 1 month ago

May not be genius, but it works to some extent. Dynasties have been very popular for millennia, so that means it’s at least somewhat successful. Probably not good for the nation or the citizens, but at least dynasties don’t implode during the first year.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Works for a generation or three, eventually crashes.

[–] DreamAccountant@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Outright contradictions don't faze religious people. Their entire religious hate book is completely filled to the brim with contradictions. Thou shalt not murder, now kill the firstborn - as an obvious example.

How detached from reality? So detached that they are a woman running for office on a platform that women should not run for office.

Religious people don't care. They just want to know who is going to force your children to praise that fuckwit jebus in schools for 12 years.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, she is just a man. She thinks of herself as a man. But she can't be trans, she has to hide that. So she does so, badly, just like Pearl. They are men in their own minds.

Sweet Jesus I wouldn't marry a soft brain like her if she blew me twice every day and invited her sexy friends to do the same. Imagine if you trusted her to do anything that required even the basics of intelligence or morals.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I was with you until "and invited her sexy friends to do the same." Are the sexy friends also blowing me twice a day? Each!? How many friends? Honestly, I could maybe deal with that. That's a lot of variety to help put up with her bullshit for awhile, at least.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wish people would stop conflating intelligence and populist talk by politicians. That statement doesn't have anything to do with being smart or dumb, it's just a statement that is more likely to win her office because she knows her audience well. Her audience doesn't want a strong independent woman there, they want someone who will tell them they're right in their sexism. If it's a woman, even better! They have an argument that "even that woman says so."

So if anything, either she or her advisors are definitely smart enough to recognise that.

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I disagree. Don't underestimate stupid. I can see someone being a pawn but you can't say it's all puppets.

I want to know why that sandwich maker is out of the kitchen and talking to, well, anyone?

Christ, us real men know that women are too emotional to be allowed to talk out loud like that, and in public too!!!
This feeeemale needs a good real man to slap her back in line if you ask me, preferably with the back of a bible to really hit home how far she's travelled from its values!!

Also, guns and big trucks! GUNS AND TRUCKS! pew pew pew.

[–] TuffNutzes@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

These people are so deep in their own bullshit, they don't even listen to themselves.

Just parroting the insane lunacy of MAGA as they live every day soaking in hypocrisy.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Spoiler: She doesn't think she is a woman. That's why she isn't including herself mentally into the woman group.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Lmao I guess she’s trans

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, trans means she has mentally accepted this info. This is the kind of shit cis people do. This is what being mandatory cis is about - forcing an arbitrary gender expression based on genital presentation at birth. She's a cis woman, with she/her pronouns, who believes she is a man.

Don't misgender him.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Women shouldn't wear makeup, says woman wearing all-natural foundation and mascara.

[–] lennee@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

She's not like the other girls.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I was going to ask whether she would vote against herself if her opponent is male, but it looks like she's ahead of the ball on that one:

https://cactuspolitics.com/2025/08/mylie-biggs-wants-to-lead-the-state-but-says-women-should-stay-home/

She criticized "modern feminism" and its impact, specifically mentioning concerns "starting with women's right to vote."

EDIT: Ah, looks like they included that quote in the submitted article too.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Quite a conundrum.

I’d explore the virtues of other candidates.

Gene's pool needs a good scrubbing.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Drain the gene swamp.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago

then why isnt she isnt in the kitchen making sandwich and pregnant, shes doesnt know her place.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Ok Serena joy. Go make sandwiches and stfu

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Too many contaminates in the public water supply, if you ask me

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Fluoridation of our precious bodily fluids.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

At this point the GOP slogan should just be "Rules for Thee, Not for Me"

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Fucking hell man

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

This is what happens when you are in a cult and you can't keep up with all the lies.

Remember, MAGA is not conservative, MAGA is a fascist, racist cult build on hate with zero ideas on how to improve anything.

Conservatives do not like MAGA, but since they are getting so much power by associating with MAGA, they keep their mouths shut. You soon realize their entire party is based on nepotism and NON merit based hiring.
