And men don't stand around with other men chatting about sports, weather and machines, do they?

Carlson's issues are showing again. He doesn't understand how much he embarrasses himself.

Many women take time off or reduce their hours even beyond standard maternity leave, especially if their husband has a high income.

Whether it's fair or not, that can kill your career or at least certainly put you behind your male peers. Men almost never take extended time off after a baby is born.

Many women have trouble getting upper management or high paychecks because they have these big breaks in their resumes that men don't have.

But Carlson needs to get on board with the changes! This is the 21st century and we are still pushing for equal treatment of men and women. That includes taking family time. It's changing, slowly but surely.

He may as well rail against marriage equality if he doesn't understand how out of touch he is.

Because we have such paltry maternity leave in this country and even less generous recognition of the value of paternity leave. We treat workers who take breaks to adjust to new family members as bad employees

Women are also subject to the view that they are less committed workers simply because they could have babies at some future point. Doesn't matter whether they ever do either --once they're old enough to be seen as past babymaking they've already had at least twenty years of suppressed wages because that presumption.

Call it "False non-equivalency" if you will.

Both men and women are suffering in today's economy. Women tend to suffer more than men in most cases, but all workers are being collectively and fundamentally screwed.

This is divide and conquer at it most basic level.

That one's popular on DU today.

My heart just bleeds for him...

Wasn't expecting that!

... and go after the wealthiest assholes of the media and wall street who are making the rest of us suffer.

thats a lot of burritos

Our economic system is seriously, seriously broken. I hope it's not completely beyond fixing but we definitely need to do something about it.

Hey Tucker, the Bush era is over - you're losing!

Longer hours. Increases below the rate of inflation for more than a decade.
Disposable parts and not really "human resources".

Tucker, if you ever had a real job (bloviating know-nothing is not a real job) you would be talking about WORKERS and not which gender has it bad or worse.

It goes against his nature, that of an unpleasant, unhappy, unlikeable buffoon.

What a tool.

I mean, seriously. What. The. Fuck.

And so is Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and every other conservative radio/TV host you can name. I call them the "whining class".

Bill Maher had a great new rule about this a few weeks ago but I can't seem to find it.
