Not sure if this has been posted yet, but it's kind of an extension of the original debate in the OP's video: http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/05/31/lou-dobbs-megyn-kelly-and-erick-erickson-clash-over-women-breadwinners-america-live
Erick comes off as a complete moron XD
Fox News hounds preying on each other and at each others throats... delicious. For the record, I think all three of them have horrible rhetoric, Megyn interracial analogy was very far fetched but she was otherwise coherent, Dobbs on the other hand was not making any sense, and Erick.. oh spineless Erick i have never seen a man back peddle from his own opinion so badly, so quickly and so pathetically.
thank you Fappy that was great entertainment.
The nature argument is also the dumbest shit, they mentioned lions themselves, but they didn't mention that most of the animal kingdom is not monogamous, and that nature is full of "dead beat dads" if anything single motherhood is the "normal" condition. Fuck me those two are in serious need of some education.
OT:
I really have no conception of what they are bitching about, their only valid argument is that two parents working does result in less time spent with their children, that is obvious. However there is no difference as to who makes the most money, family dynamics are not bound to economy. Every family has a different culture, and while it is typical for the man to be in a "dominant" or "masculine" position, it is not something that is determined by income sources.
I wonder if those guys are trying to express something else but do not have the mental capacity. Like how masculinity has become harder to define in a modern age where equality between the sexes has made it more difficult to describe what makes a man a man besides genitalia, and how former stereotypical male qualities and attributes, are now often lampooned in parody instead of being a goal of aspiration.
Perhaps they are lamenting that the ideal man of the 2000's is no longer the ideal man of the 1950's. I do not think they were thinking about this when they spoke however. I do think there is a dilemma in identifying what a man is supposed to be as we near a future where more and more, gender roles are seen to be interchangeable. I think it is valid for society to ask itself "what is a man?"
