The Republican candidate running for a state Senate seat in a special election in South Louisville stands by a 2018 blog post that says “millennial females” aren’t “wife material” and described the “vast majority of young women” as "promiscuous skanks” with no moral compass.
Calvin Leach is a 35-year-old retired U.S. Army veteran, who ran an unsuccessful bid for the seat last year, and said he wants to focus on wrangling crime in Louisville. Leach wrote a series of articles in 2018 lambasting the department of education, online censorship of conservatives and millennial women.
In a 2018 article and 2025 comment written on the blogging website Medium, Leach complained many women his age have overblown egos due to social media and complained that “betas” — slang for submissive men — are only feeding their need for attention.
His first article on the site is entitled “Why You Should Never Become Emotionally Invested in Millennial Females.” In it, he describes many young women as “promiscuous skanks,” “coddled americunts,” “party whores” and “damn sloots” — internet slang for slut.
In an interview with Kentucky Public Radio, Leach said the article is primarily dating advice. Women have an easier time in hiring thanks to their “aesthetic appeal”, and diversity, equity and inclusion has gotten out of hand, he said.
“It’s necessary not to become emotionally attached to anyone until you get to know them. That doesn't relate to politics,” Leach said when asked if he still holds the viewpoints expressed in the article. “If you get emotionally attached too quickly, then you open yourself up for heartbreak. So that's ultimately what I was saying.”
After the interview, the article denigrating women and another about reforming the Department of Education were removed.
