I...I...I don't fucking even.

Long story short, a recent survey show that 4 out of 10 households have women as the primary or lone sources of income in the household. And these people (All of them men by the way, go fucking figure) are trying to paint this as a BAD thing. Saying "The politicians won't admit this." Frankly if I were a politician, this is a statistic I'd be waving around with a smile on my face.

They also share such pearls of wisdom as "something going terribly wrong in American society, and it's hurting our children, and it's going to have impact for generations to come"

And "When you look at biology, look at the natural world, the roles of a male and a female in society, and other animals, the male typically is the dominant role. The female, it's not antithesis, or it's not competing, it's a complementary role. We as people in a smart society have lost the ability to have complementary relationships in nuclear families, and it's tearing us apart."

Congratulations Fox News, you've reached a whole new level of stupid!

Granted a co-worker (And a woman, imagine that!) responded with can basically be summarized as WTF

But...fucks sake.

LMAO! This was meant as comedy right? Coming from a matriarchal society, their reference to "nature" was just over the top. Seriously funny stuff there. Are you sure this isn't the Onion? Good thing we aren't spiders eh? Where the female eats her mate? HAHAHA!

Hey at least they're not talking about reproductive rights.
There's nothing that says Faux News better than five old men telling me that birth control shouldn't be covered by health care, but Viagra is 100% a must.

We can all agree that this is BS right? Right? Oh, who am I kidding, some MRA nutjob will burst in here soon enough agreeing with these clowns... Regardless, these men are stupid as hell and represent some of the more horrific depths of some corners of American culture.

I have half a mind to send them the links on how they have now successfully fertilized an egg using only female cells making men no longer necessary for sperm.

If their reaction to women working is that bad, can you you imagine their reaction to reading that?! HAHAHAHAHA!

I feel so biologically redundant now. Is this what it's like to be a Krogan? You know, minus the whole species going extinct part.

"And a lot of other concerning and troubling statistics"

It's a shame that these men have such a large megaphone with which to spout their particular brand of silly silliness, but oh well.

"Anti-science... Natural biology"
That's just not good.

And it's a shame for Americans that don't think like this because it's pretty bad marketing for their country.

Fox News is designed to appeal to old white people who long for a return to a idealistic 1950s society that never existed. This doesn't shock me at all

now im wondering what their solution would be? laws making sure males get priority over equally or better qualified women? or just laws making sure those uppity women stay bare foot and pregnant in the kitchen making dinner for the man folk
Probably the latter.
Up until the 60s in Ireland, if a woman was working in the civil service and got married, she was legally required to give up her job. I know that was the 60s but that's where these people live.

I'm starting to think that these are the kind of people that drove the world to the nuclear apocalypse in Fallout.

well back in the 60s, Pan Am used to fire their flight attendants (all female back in the day) if they got married, pregnant, or 35

I knew that FOX News was the bastion of conservative news broadcasting, and I knew that there's still a heavy level of misogyny present among right wing politicians. But to show it so blatantly is just...

Ah well. As Bob Dylan said:

Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

Going to second that. To be shocked, to be surprised about this sort of thing means you have to be totally ignorant of Fox News and the large number of people they appeal to. In a way, that's an enviable position, but one that falls short of the level of reality a person should feel obliged to face, at least for someone living in the Anglosphere.

This my favourite brand of anti-feminism, the kind that mangles my very profession and passion to justify itself.

It's Fox News, not surprised an iota, everyone should ignore this and move on.

Talking about it, either in a positive or negative fashion only serves to spread this disease around further.
