| What Tucker Carlson gets about men and women that the rest of the media do not |
| 2019-01-10 |
| h/t Instapundit This past week Carlson said in a monologue that everyone’s goal should be "strong American families." Sounds innocuous, right? Yet it isn’t, for precisely the reason Carlson gives: America’s elite refuse to address the greatest impediment to reaching this goal. The dearth of employed men and the subsequent disintegration of marriage. For stating the obvious, Carlson has been vilified. (Just Google his name and you’ll find all the articles denouncing him for bringing this matter to light.) Even Red Lobster has pulled their advertising from his show. (Note to Red Lobster: What cowards you are!) Journalists are supposed to report the facts, not make people feel good about those facts. But our politically correct culture no longer allows problems that cause people discomfort to be discussed, let alone solved. So the problems just sit there and wait to be noticed. ...There are two main reasons women‐even feminist women‐prefer to marry men who make more than they do: 1. Because women have babies and men do not, and women want and need the option to cut back or move out of the workforce to care for those babies. No matter how "equal" the sexes seem prior to having kids, it all changes when children come along. At that point, sex differences become glaring. That's why the Left likes abortions so much . . . 2. Because completely upending traditional gender roles, or having a marriage in which the wife and not the husband is the primary breadwinner, is problematic to say the least. And there’s ample research to support this. Never mind the facts, what matters is the feelz! ...In other words, there’s plenty of data to bolster Carlson’s claim that we "consider some of the effects" of women out-earning men. The fact is, he’s right. It’s a lose-lose scenario for everyone. For men, surely, because an unemployed man who lacks purpose in his life is downright dangerous. And for women, since they can’t find "good" (read: educated and employed) men they want to marry. And for children, who as a result of all this grow up without a dad. It’s a G-damn mess, and no one wants to talk about it except Tucker Carlson. And that makes him the bad guy? No. It makes the rest of the media cowards. |

| #4 >women, since they can’t find "good" (read: educated and employed) men they want to marry. There's a lot of quite well earning women on the shelf waiting for the bad-boy to marry them lol. Lots of women get the (largely male) taxpayer to fund their reproductive lifestyle. |

| #3 Not just the inner cities P2k. Millenial suburbanites, those children who won't grow up, are screwing up their families big time for all sorts of reasons based on what is considered proper now a days. It's tough on the kids when the wife wants to wear the pants and the husband the skirt. |

| #1 Formerly, Tucker was a political [an un]common tater at CNN and MSNBC. I hope Carlson doesn't move on from Fox since the Murdock boys took over. The breakup of male-female families has a detrimental effect on society, women are different than men and the rest of the media are cowards. Yup, yup and yup. |
