    I do wonder what his wife thinks of him these days. Does he tell her “no, not you” all the time?

    This article probably is right.

    There is no need to perform intellectual gymnastics to understand Vance’s positions. There’s no riddle to solve here. Vance is intelligent and educated and thoughtful; she knows who she married. We do too. She isn’t leaving him, because she doesn’t want to. She isn’t speaking out against his policies, because she’s not interested in doing so.

    It’s a position I always find confusing, but then I remind myself how difficult patriarchy would be to maintain without willing female participants.
