Reply to comment by i81u812 in Idaho Republican Apologizes for Comparing Women to Farm Animals by wallstreetegg

> In his introductory remarks, Nelsen told the first meeting of Idaho's Agricultural Affairs Committee on January 10: "I'm a lifelong dairy farmer who retired, still own part of the dairy; grew up on the farm. I've milked a few cows, spent most of my time walking behind lines of cows, so if you want some ideas on repro and the women's health thing, I have some definite opinions."

Walking wasn't the only thing this guy has done behind a cow.

Maybe he was kicked in the head and that’s why he’s talking gibberish. But that doesn’t explain why most of the Republicans also say shit like this.

Repro: A veterinarian with a rubber gloves and bill semen in hand artificially inseminates the cow while a second person stimulates the cow’s clitoris to encourage reproduction.

…in other words, this guy is fucking bonkers.

This is not what a veterinarian does. It’s not is her job description

Then my veterinarian wife who has done artificial insemination led me astray. I’ll make sure to set her straight

Yeah she can do it, similarly a taxi driver can help deliver a baby. Edit: it’s not in the job description but she can do it

I don’t think you know that large animal veterinarians exist. Artificial insemination is very much part of their job description.

You are correct, my apologies. In some countries in Europe, there are specialist that only do AI. I spent time on farm, and guessed wrongly that US was similar

I'm just trying to understand what he was getting at. What link did he think he had between milking and walking behind cows and women's repro and health?!
