Fox News to women: In 2015 you should cater to your man's needs, massage his feet and cook his meals

What a joke of a "news" channel:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/05/fox-news-new-years-resolution_n_6416598.html

Still looking for that perfect New Year's resolution? Well, listen closely, because the hosts of "Fox & Friends" have a few suggestions.

"Ladies, we're talking to you. If you still don't have a New Year's resolution, could this be it?" co-host Clayton Morris said last week. Morris, along with co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Peter Doocy, was discussing the new book Single Man, Married Man, which offers dating advice for women, written by men.

Tips include always being able to cater to your man's needs, making his meals and massaging his feet.

"I do want to be a better wife," Earhardt said.

Morris proceeded to read some of the pointers out loud, one of which read: "When he gets his ego stroked, he'll be more inclined to love you more."

Actually, the best thing women could do for "Fox" Men would be to make sure they aren't looking up when it rains, so they don't drown. I'm especially concerned for Doocy.

to wife, or better yet, spouse to spouse, but the underlying message I think is good. Put the other's needs above your own.....

But if she ever offered to massage my feet, I'd be suspicious that I was being manipulated, her usual reaction to my feet is "pew, they stink".

She used to offer to massage other parts of me, but she doesn't do that so much anymore.

I'm trying to figure out the specific problem with the clip. Perhaps the OP can clarify. It was just the tone of the reporting ?

And, specifically here, it is blatantly sexist.
