FOX TUCKER CARLSON: WOMEN REFUSE TO MARRY MEN MAKING LESS MONEY, FEMINISM'S NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS

It is sometimes just easier to think of Fox News as White Power TV with a Handmaiden's Tale thrown in. Right wing media and propaganda operates in an environment of hate, fear and resentment of people who are different.

https://www.newsweek.com/tucker-carlson-feminism-men-vs-women-wages-marriage-fox-news-sexism-crime-1278770

Fox News host Tucker Carlson took on disparities in America's gender pay gap by claiming societies in which women make more money than men are historically tied to drug and alcohol abuse, high imprisonment rates and births out-of-wedlock.

Carlson's Wednesday evening show pointed to an elitist class of people for allowing male-dominated industries such as manufacturing to go by the wayside. Without pointing any blame toward specific greedy U.S. corporations who outsourced those American workers, Carlson instead titled his segment, "Men In Decline As The Ruling Class Looks Away." He specifically cited how industries men once dominated have "all but disappeared over the course of a generation" and were replaced by the female-dominated fields within education and health care, including teachers and hospital workers.

"In many areas, women suddenly made more than men. Now, before you applaud that as a victory for feminism, consider some of the effects," Carlson began.

The Fox News host's typical critics immediately labeled him a "misogynist" on social media as Carlson took aim at what he says are the proven societal problems that occur when women make more money than men. He repeatedly lamented uncaring, "mercenary leaders" turning their backs on the "dignity and purpose" men seek in their careers.

Clearly he's ready for retirement ... cause this is NOT gonna go over well ... or at least he's ready to go Glenn Beck with his own little show, cause not even Fox is gonna wanna deal with the backlash that's about to come.

BTW, Tucker ... even in Education and Health Care ... men STILL make more than women, you dipshit. College Professors vs. Teachers? Doctors vs Nurses? I realize there's men and women in all these jobs, of course, but the one's still dominated, numbers-wise, by men? Those ARE still the higher-paying gigs. Just sayin' ...

Ummm, it's NOT "typical critics immediately labeled him a "misogynist" on social media

It's HE'S A MISOGYNIST

I swear to fucking God! If the media were covering a KKK rally, they would report that "typical critics immediately labeled the clan 'racist asspickles'"

Hey media...sometimes things and people are just what they are

"some" people say the media are fucking Retrumplican suck-ups. No, that' not right. It should be "the media ARE fucking Retrumplican suckups!!!"
