They don't like to share.

Magic semen thinking.

LMAO

That aside...people like him should never be in a position of power...any position of power. Not even head waiter.

If anyone has had the chance, I would highly recommend the new film about my personal hero, RBG, "On the Basis of Sex." It delves into this very issue and how she successfully fought discriminatory laws that assumed women were only meant to stay at home to care for their families and not work. I pray every day for her continued recovery from surgery.

If wages didn't stagnate over the last four-plus decades (which I'll bet Patterson celebrates), then perhaps married mothers wouldn't have had to enter the workforce to bolster household incomes and thus spoil his idealized "Father Knows Best" vision for America.

To afford to stay home with the kids.

Men who say that are basically stupid to how society works and has for long time.

ronnie raygun and the vile economic policies of his puppetmasters and successors harmed families and denied to many women the opportunity to stay home with the kids if they would have preferred to do so. Hippies and feminists did not. But, let's demonize the latter to prevent 'Muricans from figuring out who's actually to blame.

Assholes like you are bad for society...

Dude's got to have some kind of record for having the worst political appointees

a widow or divorced wife shouldn't get any spousal benefits, also.

bare foot and pregnant. Next he will be claiming wives need a weekly proper beating to keep them in line. What a POS!!!

Well, I did my best to help you gals out!!

It could be that smarter women just get laid more, on average.

WTF is wrong with Republicans who say this stuff? Do they even know that their own voter base have mostly double income families? These same assholes also say the American worker needs a "wage adjustment down" to compete in the global labor market. So how the fuck is anybody supposed to raise a family one one low wage job?

then, he can apologize.

They always know more than the real scientists; you know, the ones with actual relevant education and experience. Funny that they're almost always Republicans or conservatives.

I worked as a single woman to support myself. Just because I got married does not mean I became incompetent. I saw working as a way to save for the future, to stay up with society and the workforce.
This attitude saved me when the marriage failed 12 years later and I was the only support for two children.

it has been the women who have held it together. Like Abigail Adams when her husband was off running the country, being Ambassador, being important, she ran the farm, raised the kids, promoted feminism, used the pox to immunize her children during an outbreak at a time when the idea of immunization was so new that doctors didn’t do it, and influenced her husband as a consultant.

When farmers went off the war it was their womenfolk who ran the farms, plowing the fields and harvesting the crops, taking care of the livestock and made sure people were fed, including the military.

When the men went off to fight WWI and WWII it was the women who stepped into do the factory work and the build the weapons, the ships and the armored trucks, jeeps and fighter jets needed for the wars.

All women who were then sent packing back home to be the good little wives and mothers when men came home from their wars.

There has never been a time in our history that women did less than men. Never. Anything else we’ve heard is a made up lie.

In other words, he doesn't recognize "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for married women. That's the old view that she's taking a job away from a man...and the ever popular "she SHOULD be paid less because she's worth less." And the popular view among wife beaters that she shouldn't have the option to leave. Or be independent. Or make her own money. She needs to be totally dependent on ME.

Back into the kitchen, all you married women! And take those shoes off! If you're not pregnant, get to a doctor to find out what's wrong with you!

Blame all of societies perceived ills on decisions of women?

And I am sure as acting associate director of the SSA he will soon begin touting what a drag women are on SS/Medicare benefits. Once past their baby making years and no longer deemed fuckable, why should males care?

Then people could decide if they both want to work or if one would like to stay home with the children.

has made it harder for families to survive on a single income. That isn't the Democrats doing. Not to mention, women pay a heavy price when they take time away from their careers to care for children or elderly family members. Not only do they have the loss of income and career momentum for the years they took off. They often have to take jobs that pay less when they do go back to work. I had to take time off to care for my mother in 2003 and 2004. My highest earning year was 2002. I'm just now getting back to earning what I did then, and that's not even counting for inflation.

They want their talking points back.

Handmaids Tale. Doesn't he??
