Fox News lends a hand to the White Men’s Rights Movement
There is a clear connection between the MRAsmas and the White Supremacist notion that it is whites who are subject to the real racism in society. Manboobz comments on Fox's lament for the poor beleaguered white male.
In a case of spectacularly bad timing, Fox News happened to choose the day before the Zimmerman verdict was handed down to publish an op-ed proclaiming the White American Male to be the most oppressed creature on Planet Earth. In a piece entitled Men The New Second Class Citizens, professional antifeminist Suzanne Venker declared that
From boyhood through adulthood, the White American Male must fight his way through a litany of taunts, assumptions and grievances about his very existence. His oppression is unlike anything American women have faced.
What is revealing about this quote, besides its complete disconnection from reality, is that Venker makes no other references to race in the rest of her piece, which runs through a number of tiresome and oh-so-familiar MRA talking points about the alleged oppression of men. . . .
But when Venker refers to men in all of these complaints, she is evidently thinking only of white men why else would she switch so seamlessly from talking about the alleged oppression of men to proclaiming the White American Male the ultimate victim?
Theres really no other word for this than, well, racist.
