FOX NEWS...LOL

Fox News published some crackfilled editorial about marriage and gender roles.  You could tell it was doomed from the start when the photo they use is of the wedding of two women.  OOPSIE Fox News.  Of course the photo has been changed to the generic men/women bathroom signs.  But the failing only starts there, it gets so much better.

As products of divorce, the modern generation has few role models for lasting love. That alone is a problem. But young women have an added burden: they’ve been raised in a society that eschews marriage. They’ve been taught instead to honor sex, singlehood and female empowerment.

Oh the burden!!!  Being raised to think that there is something other to life than finding a husband.  There are things like jobs and careers that would distract us from finding Ward Cleaver.  THE HORROR!!! 

It began in earnest more than forty years ago, with the modern feminist movement. Feminists assured women their efforts would result in more satisfying marriages, but the result is something else altogether.

LOL, that is not what the feminist movement was about in the 60’s and 70’s.  It was about the acknowledging that having a vagina doesn’t mean it just has to be used to spit out kids or be just another thing for men to treat as property. It was about making sure men and women had equal rights, equal pay, equal treatment.  It was about telling women that they could have the freedom to do what they wanted.

Women postpone marriage indefinitely and move in and out of intense romantic relationships, or even live with their boyfriends for years at a time. Eventually, their biological clocks start ticking and many decide they better hurry up and get married to provide a stable home for their yet-to-be-born children. Trouble is, their boyfriend’s not willing to commit.

The SLUTS!  How dare they date different men to find someone who would they would want to start a family with!  Heaven forbid a woman wants to make sure that she’s found the right person to have a family with. 

Prior to the 1970s, people viewed gender roles as as equally valuable. Many would argue women had the better end of the deal! It’s hard to claim women were oppressed in a nation in which men were expected to stand up when a lady enters the room or to lay down their lives to spare women life.

WTF does this even mean?  Who says women had the “better end of the deal”?  Right, men said that.  Because while they worked away in their little office or whatever, the woman was home watching soaps and vacuuming.  Without even a thought as to what that woman wanted, but since a man has made that choice for them, it must be the best choice.  Yes because a man standing up when a woman enters the room is far more oppressive than forcing her into marriage, forcing her to not get a job, forcing her to be an incubator for his spawn.  Poor men, standing up and sitting back down must have been so difficult for you.

But the truth must be heard. Being equal in worth, or value, is not the same as being identical, interchangeable beings. Men and women may be capable of doing many of the same things, but that doesn’t mean they want to. That we don’t have more female CEOs or stay-at-home dads proves this in spades

I can’t.  I just can’t.  WE DON’T HAVE FEMALE CEO’S BECAUSE NO ONE WILL HIRE THEM!!! It’s not for lack of ability or qualification, it’s because of the glass ceiling. 

This is the most unbelievable piece of shit opinion pieces I have ever read.  It smacks of internalized misogyny, gender norms and general asshattery.  Hey lady writer, guess what, if it wasn’t for that horrible 70’s feminist movement, you wouldn’t even be allowed to write this heaping pile of shit for Fox Fucking News.  If it weren’t for feminism, you’d be sitting at home with your kids, making your husband dinner, while he writes about how silly women are on Fox News.
