'Vote For The Cute One' - Sexism Isn't Cute

EMMA: Hey, Olivia. What’s it gonna be?
OLIVIA: Hi Emma. Hmmm. Latte, cappuccino? I can’t make up my mind.
EMMA: That’s how I felt about this election… until I took a good look at the candidates.
OLIVIA: And?
EMMA: I’m for Sean Duffy. He’s pretty cool, actually. He’s part of this new generation of leaders, the kind we need in Washington. He’s a good husband and father and he fights for small businesses, like mine. So I can keep the doors open and even hire more people.
OLIVIA: He’s the cute one, right?

No, this isn't a teen novel or a soap opera.

It's a sexist radio ad for Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI). 

He's running for Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District. The ad was put together by YG Network, a 501(c)(4). The group also provided 'hair and makeup touch ups' at this year's Republican National Convention. 

Women are not this dumb. And I hope this Real World alum realizes it soon. 

Listen to the ridiculous spot here
