U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) explained recently that he and other Republicans had voted against a bill to promote the recruitment of women scientists because it discriminated “based on gender.” Gohmert acknowledged that the bill was “well intentioned,” but said that “this program is designed to discriminate against that young, poverty-stricken boy and to encourage the girl. Forget the boy. Encourage the girl.”
“And, you know, that’s just not the way God intended us to be treating women,” he added after taking the floor. “I know that everybody is today talking about equality and we’ve got groups that are trying to make us believe that women are equal to men. However, that’s just not the case. God didn’t make us equal. It is ourselves, we have created this illusion of equality. And you want to know what the most powerful evidence of that there is? Simple biology. We have parts they don’t and vice versa. So right then and there you’ve got proof of God’s master plan.”
Gohmert also added that “women were created for one thing and one thing alone,” as well as that “we are insulting the Lord by allowing women to act like men.” “Women are beautiful creatures, no doubt about that. We marry them, we look after them, we provide for them and we love them, but that does not mean they are the same as us. It is the job of a woman to stay at home, to maintain the household, to bear children and look after them after they’re born. Nowhere in the scriptures does it say that women should be chasing after fancy titles and knowledge. The only knowledge they need is the one we men allow them to have.”
“And that’s why we as a country are in this much trouble today,” Gohmert also said. “Just walk out your front door onto the street and take a look at our youth. We have girls nowadays who are barely 18 and who are covered in tattoos, who are drinking, smoking, doing drugs and engaging in unprotected sex. And then they have the audacity to say that they’re the same as us and that they should be given the same opportunities? That is preposterous. They have forgotten their role in society because of modern technology and lenient upbringing styles. And because this law was passed today despite our objection, the situation is only going to get worse.”

I watched the recording of Rep. Gohmert speaking ‘on the floor’ and I heard the words you reported in your first paragraph. After that (the ‘women belong at home because the good book says so’ bit), not one word of that did I hear!! Do you have a recording of him actually saying this? I’m no fan of the GOP, but it looks like he’s being misrepresented here. Please detail your source if I have reached the wrong conclusion.
At least one “real” news site fell for the entirety of this article, LOL.

in the Bible, women were judges. Esther saved the Jewish people from annihilation,,, Delilah outsmarted Sanson. Rebecca outsmarted Issac. Sarah had power over Abraham. Jesus said to remember Mary and her annointing Him. After His resurrection Jesus appeared and spoke first to women and ordered them to spread the Good News. .This man wrongly uses the Bible to support his sexism, hatred and abuse toward women.

And they have the nerve and audacity to get after the way Muslims treat women, they aren’t much farther behind.

Say WHAT???? So Marie Curie, and so many other female scientists are just an aberration? Louie Gohmert is a mysoginist.

republicans hate science, they don’t like anything they can’t understand. Which is weird since they believe in God on faith, which can’t be understood. Can’t have one without the other.

This is not true. He didn’t say any of that stuff. He only said that laws should not be passed based on gender or other physical features or to encourage commercial work over laboratory work. That women should be able to pursue whatever career they want without being redirected based on gender. Even though the law was well intended that that could be the result. All that other stuff is made up.

Your scriptures was written by men and men at that time had little respect for women just as you seem to have right now, dont hide behind god just admit your a sexist pig who is scared now women have proven to be as smart and tallented as men that one may come and take your cushy job

Keep your fucking religion to yourself. Keep it out of the government. Pay property taxes to pay for the utilities you use and leave the rest of us out of your private club of intolerance.

It’s amazing how many people take a CRAP **LIE** like this article and just eat it up. ALL of you are what’s wrong with this country.
ANY a-hole can do this… watch…
(insert your name here) said “I like to kill puppies and feed them to babies… I’m a democrat, and this is what we do at our private political parties.”
See how that works?
I’m sorry, but you people are morons.

What blows my mind is religious people think others ought to care about what their god wants when there is no more evidence for the existence of their god than any other Bronze-Age so-called “deity.” Please tell me upon what we are expected to base a decision about which “god” to listen to when there isn’t a single shred of evidence for the existence of ANY single one of them in particular? All you have, folks, are your feelings and your conditioning and some random Bronze-Age literature you were raised with reinforcing the delusion that your god is real. People, I’m here to tell you that it’s just not good enough. There is no more reason for anyone to believe in a Christian god than there is for anyone to believe in Zeus except that Christ is the one currently socially acceptable in this country to pretend exists and which politicians are allowed to promote without getting ostracized. But ladies and gentlemen, believing in ANY god is (and should be) as embarrassing as believing in Zeus and fairies and Santa. It is time for humanity to grow up and take a whiff of the 21st Century.

I’ve been a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of 3 kids for the last 17 years. I strongly believe that if at all financially possible, mothers should stay home to care for the family. We have made sacrifices like not driving a brand new car, not buying everything kids want, not even having cable tv, etc. so I can stay home. But I also have a degree in astrophysics from UCLA. Just because I chose to raise my family, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have gotten educated.

I suspect Louie is a henpecked husband who gets his revenge against his wife by sponsoring and/or supporting bills that attempt to hold other women from advancing educationally and in their careers.

Dear Jesus, Please help all these people understand the difference between facts and terribly written satire. HINT GUYS: Actual news websites don’t include a “Hide Facts” Button!!! If you think anything on here is real I need you to put down the smart phone and pick up an actual newspaper and read it. If Gohmert had said shit like this it would be all over the web, tv, radio, etc. Not shared on a stupid social networking site.

I find it funny when politicians adopt this attitude…because they honestly don’t know better.
They haven’t had the shit kicked out of them for acting like fools, as normal people would have.
Cultural gaps formed by financial differences, that’s a hell of a concept.
I may have been reading too much, cause this reminds me of every monarchy EVER in medieval times.
Royalty didn’t UNDERSTAND what daily life was like for their subjects, because they were never subjected to real life.
I see a lot of similarities these days. The prosperous who did not earn their way there later in life become so soft-headed it’s sad, really.
But are people really shocked that this is what our system breeds?
Power corrupts.
That will never change. Can we stop acting like it’s a new thing, and fucking fix it, instead of standing around staring in slack-jawed horror at the idiocy that our corrupt system produces?
Sorry…election season is always irritating! LOL

Global warming is coming an so to are the tired the hungery an d the poor! freedom of speech
A woman’s place is barefoot, pregnant & at home? So he’s for paying the man of the house a decent minimum wage so the little wife can stay home with all the kiddos? I’m sure he’s against birth control & abortion & a woman’s right to say no to her spouse, so there will be lots of kids. This nimno is sure to be against Aid to Dependent Children, so the kids will be possibly poor students. Do you think he’s for Head Start? Or reasonable rates on student loans? This is not a real man or an intelligent, sentient human being.

Seriously? Wtf is going on in your country, America? For an apparent 1st world country you sure are backwards and outdated in your thinking. Maybe you guys should stop allowing idiots like this to represent you.

Intelligence escaped this individual a long time ago! Louie ” Goofball”Gohmert has the distinction of being the most ignorant & stupid member of Congress. He needs serious medical and pharmaceutical intervention! But, unfortunately nothing will change with this moron untill either he is held for medical evaluation or voted out of office. He is a walking,talking, freak and an embarrassment to the State of Texas!

Well….yes, Louie Gohmert is opposed to this bill….I can’t and don’t agree with anything he says here ….but how the hell has he been re-elected so often? Somewhere there are enough people who believe as he does….If he left out the religion, he would have nothing to say at all….he has no substance in his statements or his thinking!

I’m confused. I’ve watched the clip from CSPAN and he says none of the things he is accused of on this and other websites. He DOES say some weird stuff about Marie Curie and how he is glad this wasn’t available to her (SMH) but I can’t find a clip that confirms these other quotes. Does anyone have a video link to these quotes?

What a mysoginitic ignoramus claiming the bill is discriminatory when in fact it is inclusive .The ill des not exclude the boys but includes the girls. And his women belong in the home is so archaic I had thought it died out in the `1800’s . He is living proof why one should not mix religion with politics

this asshat forgets that modern research into ancient Christianity reveals that his deepest teachings were given to his women disciples (Mary Magdalene for instance, she has her own gospel).

I guess this idiot didn’t read Proverbs 31! If I am to stay at home then pay me, because one check doesn’t cut it anymore!!! Better yet quit underpaying military people! This fool got me twisted!

Since women should not work, I would like to see a single earner family of four living on today’s wages. Buying clothes, education, food, etc. Since the GOP does not do jobs programs (or infrastructure), many more people would be put into poverty. This man is absoluely stupid.

Have to add another comment. I understand this sad specimen for a man, says women should stay home, sure happy he is no relation to me. He sounds like he would like to burn you at the stake, like
in the days of the Salem Witches, if you did not do what he said. O well just another no brains
Republican Politician.

I actually don’t believe the quotes used at all. This would be a huge headline story in major media and instead these knuckle heads get the scoop and only other small services are around to repeat the same story? Woops forget that these guys are copying. Never mind

U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) just said “It is the job of a woman to stay at home, to maintain the household, to bear children and look after them after they’re born. Nowhere in the scriptures does it say that women should be chasing after fancy titles and knowledge. The only knowledge they need is the one we men allow them to have.”
The only knowledge [women] need is the one we men allow them to have.
Really?
Why is this neanderthal elected into office?
Women of Texas, do you all agree with this?
Please vote this man OUT of office before he turns all the clocks in Texas back a hundred or so years.

Backward fucking hiilbilly. Step aside and let a woman with brains, more than you obviously possess, do your job. Can’t believe these Neanderthal thoughts still exist in todays world.

What rock did Texas pull this one out from under and give him a Job?
He is entitled to his opinion of the Bible, but he’s going to have a hard time with God when he gets to the Door to go in!! Not sure he even knows how he got on earth in the first place….good thing some woman brought him in!!!

Is this man a total dinosaur. I cannot believe his wife, daughters or cooworkers are not talking sense into him. Just like men, some women are geniuses. To waste that talent is unforgivable. Using his logic (or lack of Logic) God would not have made a women smart so she could spend her life washing his undergarments.
And as for men and women being different, its true. If most men are like Louie Gohmert, they totally lack empathy for the rest of the world. Husband can die, become disabled, be bad providers, be abusive & neglectful. We do not live in a perfect 50’s era sitcom. Never have and never will.
Besides, without two incomes in the household a family cannot survive. The GOP refuses to raise wages. They refuse to help families in any way.
Open your eyes to the real world the rest of us live in. Not the “perfect world” your small brain has concocted.

Sounds like he has latent unresolved homosexual tendencies he needs to address. If he gets cancer, tell him that Marie Curie told him he can bite a weenie. Oh and if he uses a bluetooth, he needs to throw that away, Hedy Lamarr said he can’t use it anymore. If he wants to use a circular saw, Tabitha Babbitt said he can cut shit the old fashioned “man” way since she invented those. He also can’t use liquid paper/white out, Bette Nesmith said so, the compiler and COBOL computer language because Admiral Grace Murray Hopper is a better man than he will ever be, when his car breaks down, he cannot use a colored flare, because that was invented by Madtha Coston, he has to ask for olastic not paper bags, because your square bottomed paper bags were invented by Margaret Knight, he can’t use an automatic dishwasher, since Josephine Cochrane came up with those, he can’t turn on his windshield wipers in his car, those were brought to us by Mary Anderson, if ge gets thrush, he can’t take nystatin, that was discovered by Rachel Fuller Brown and Elizabeth Lee Hazen, and if he gets shot at, he can skip that kevlar vest, that was the brainchild of Stephanis Kwolek during her time working at DuPont, to save to pay her way through medical school. He can’t turn on the heat in hus car, the car heater was invented by Margaret Wilcox in 1893. The computer as we know it today would not be possible withput the research of the Countess Ada Lovelace, who was the world’s first computer programmer way back in the mid 1800’s!. She worked with Charles Babbage at the University of London by developing ways to program a machine with mathematical algorithms. Exciting, right? Ine of the major contributors to Google Maps, Google Earth, Street View, Google News, And Gmail is Marissa Mayer. Eluza Murfry between 1869-1872, took out thirty patents on devices for steam packing. The funny thing is that she was a physician too. Mary Walton invented a means to quiet elevated railway tracks, beating Thomas Edison himself to finding this particular solution to noise pollution. She also invented a smoke burner for locomotives that consumes the smoke the engine produces. Geneva Armstrong patented a feeder for cattle on trains from 1858-1930. He owes his clean streets to Eureka Frazer Brown, whom patented the street sweeper in 1879. Ships today owe their propulsions to Henrietta Vandittart, and her father for the screw propeller, which propels better than the old paddleboat mechanisms, and used less fuel. She got her father’s old invention patented by experimenting until greatly inproving on it’s functionality. These are a tiny drop in the bucket compared to how many discoveries by women have shaped and changed our society and our world. Religions that damn women to subservience have no place in any society. We must remember that while our doctrines are purported to be the word if our deity of choice, they are interpreted by men, whom being human, are fallible. Man will manipulate things to shape his surroundings to something he is more comfortable with. Sure, follow basuc principles in religion, but if yours tells you that disrespecting or abusing another person or belittling them or preventing them from thriving in any way whatsoever, then it is time for you to start ripping some pages out of your “holy books” because if they teach hatred or violence or oppression, there is nothing holy about them.

Why is it that when nut cases like this speak of God they always use the past tense, as if God isn’t here anymore. From what he believes I can see why God left…
Goodness. This sickens me. Religion has no place in politics and should stay completely out of any discussion of science. This is why America is so backwards

God did create women as equals and to not see this is evil! There is no illusion of equality there is EQUALITY! Women are NOT creatures! genesis 1:27 states plainly that God created Man and WOMAN in his image! Male and FEMALE created HE them!

Gohmert also added that “women were created for one thing and one thing alone,” as well as that “we are insulting the Lord by allowing women to act like men.” “Women are beautiful creatures, no doubt about that. We marry them, we look after them, we provide for them and we love them, but that does not mean they are the same as us. It is the job of a woman to stay at home, to maintain the household, to bear children and look after them after they’re born. Nowhere in the scriptures does it say that women should be chasing after fancy titles and knowledge. The only knowledge they need is the one we men allow them to have.” How dare you say such things. Are you simply afraid that there is a possibility that a woman may be smarter than you. I know how to deal with a lot of issues that some men are supposed to know more on. Stay at home indeed ha I managed to work 2 full time jobs and take care of my kids. As well as maintenance on the car-the yard and the house. So don’t even think for a minute that men are superior to women.

Beautiful comment, Rep Louie Gohmert, R-Tx
You said it exactly like it should be said, a little too late maybe. Let’s hear more from you, Mr. Gohmert. God bless you for your courage . Let’s hear more. You are powerful voice that could make a big difference.

What an asshole. This rationale is definite proof that I need to be an atheist. No intelligent God could possibly create someone as ignorant as this.

We are different. Men are inferior! Look around and listen to the crap that travels from our brains and out our mouths. Gomert is example #1.

Considering all that’s going on in our world today, most people must realize by now that ‘scripture’ is soo very dangerous and potent, whether it’s from the koran, the bible or some other cult / religious ‘holy’ book. Scripture has the potential to destroy minds and to turn ‘users’ of scripture into dangerous killers. Scripture is a greater curse and deadly threat to our global society today than, crack cocaine, heroin, and any other street drug out there that can be added to the list. The question is….WHEN are we going to do something about it?….sometime in the next Century??

If Representative Gohmert would like to find out whether ‘biological differences’ mean I couldn’t put him on his ass with a single well-aimed punch to the face, I’m willing to help him out.

So a woman that might possibly have the smarts and the ability to cure cancer or any other disease, invent a low cost non polluting power source, figure out how to stop climate change, supply food and water to people who are desperate for it, etc should just sit back, have babies and shut up? WTF? You men haven’t done such a good job of doing these things, let us have a go at it.

Oh, Louis (Texas)…. how limited your thinking.
(I could…..) Man was created for one obvious reason – to provide seed when needed and really, nothing else. Everything about men wanting control is a violation of the Goddess’ law: all land and childen are of woman, and owned by women, all men are born of women, men are here to serve her, to exalt woman. This male revolt has been going on for centuries, but it doesn’t make them right… such criminals!

REPUBLICANS DO ENOUGH THEMSELVES TO INCRIMINATE THEMSELVES WITH WOMEN THE AMERICAN PUBLIC DOES NOT NEED SHODDY, CORRUPT “NEWS REPORTING” (aka LIBELOUS HORSESHIT) TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM.
THE REASON GOHMERT OPPOSED THIS BILL IS BECAUSE HE BELIEVES IT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST BOYS. WATCH THE C-SPAN CLIP HERE.
