Fox news wonders if alpha women are destroying men's livesby Laura Clawson at the Daily Kos

Oh, Fox News. There could never be enough facepalms or headdesks to adequately respond to your brazen stupidity. The 24-hour propaganda network addressed marriage and earnings during Fox & Friends Sunday. Question being, isn't it terrifying and unnatural that some women earn more than their husbands? Co-host Clayton Morris was in charge of pressing a panel of guests on this very urgent question:
MORRIS: Is there a problem with men earning less than women in the household, and do you think that it could throw off -- that it actually could cause big marital problems?
Yes, it absolutely could. If the husband is an insecure jackass whose sense of self is tied to money and having his wife be subordinate to him.
I get the cultural argument, guys. I mean, I can see how -- we can all weave our way through cultural issues. But isn't there some sort of biological, innate need for men to be the caveman? Go out and bring home the dinner and actually go out -- Is it emasculating if we don't do it?

(118,682 posts)1. That is it. They are going to go after Hillary Clinton as an alpha female. They
will start a hate on women who are successful and all their followers will parrot that men are being done in by successful women. Like real American men in the heartland really hate hate hate it when their wives get raises. "Dam, the little women was made manager &*%&%!$&%$&!!"

I am still amazed, after all these years, of the stuff FN comes up with.
