McCaskill: Men should ‘shut the hell up’

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) says men should “just shut the hell up” on a number of issues, including Harry Potter, millennials and “all art in general.”

“As one of just 20 women currently serving in the Senate, it’s important to me to encourage more women to run for office,” McCaskill says in a video for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” released Tuesday.

“It’s not that women don’t value your thoughts, it’s just that we don’t value all of them,” McCaskill tells male viewers. “The world doesn’t need your opinion on everything.”

McCaskill lists a number of issues where “women no longer need to hear men’s opinions on,” including Star Wars, pantsuits, selfies, “Scandal” creator Shonda Rhimes, curtains and carbs.

McCaskill got some pushback on Twitter following the video, but told followers, “It’s a joke.”
