Michael Moore mansplains it’s 'condescending' to assume women care more about gas prices than abortion

Filmmaker Michael Moore insisted that claiming women are less concerned about abortion than they are about gas prices is “condescending” on MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber.”

"To believe that we’re going to lose on Tuesday, they’re going to take over, you have to believe certain assumptions. You have to believe what the pollsters have been telling us that since the Roe decision, women were very upset back in June when the decision came down but now, they’ve kind of collected themselves and they’re not so upset because they’re thinking more about the price of a gallon of gas or a can of Campbell’s soup is up 27 cents," he said.

"You know how women are, once they hear that soup has gone up 27 cents a can or the gas, what’s gas this week now? It’s about 22, 20 cents over last year at this time per gallon - right away women are like, ‘I don’t need these reproductive rights, you know? I want less at the gas pump’," Moore joked. 

He added, "I mean, it’s so condescending and so, I just wonder as I watch the news and listen to the pundits and pollsters, do they know any women? Is there someone at home that’s a woman? Have they talked to anybody really since June? Do people watching this right now, when I say people, I’m talking about men, if you’re watching this right now, do you really think that women are just over it? Over Roe?"
