Ohio Senator JD Vance faces backlash for comments on postmenopausal women's role in raising grandchildren.

Ohio Senator JD Vance is facing backlash for a 2020 podcast comment suggesting that the "whole purpose of the postmenopausal female" is to help raise their grandchildren. In the podcast, Vance agreed with host Eric Weinstein that the role of postmenopausal women is to assist parents in raising their children and supported Weinstein's claim that marrying an Indian woman often results in free childcare from the woman's mother. The comments have drawn criticism as part of a pattern of sexist remarks made by Vance in recent weeks.
