Red State blogger Erick Erickson said what every conservative politician is secretly thinking on Fox News last night.
[Erickson said] female breadwinners are antithetical to biology:
“I’m so used to liberals telling conservatives that they’re anti-science. But liberals who defend this and say it is not a bad thing are very anti-science. When you look at biology — when you look at the natural world — the roles of a male and a female in society and in other animals, the male typically is the dominant role. The female, it’s not antithesis, or it’s not competing, it’s a complementary role.”
He continued on to lament that “We as people in a smart society have lost the ability to have complementary relationships in nuclear families, and it is tearing us apart.”
He concluded: “Having mom as primary bread winner is bad for kids and bad for marriage.”
Somebody go tell this fuckwit that “liberals” don’t just fearfully worship science the way he fearfully worships his conservative Christian God. First of all, and most importantly, his oversimplified perception of the male-female dynamic in nature is painfully wrong. Secondly, if Erickson suddenly believes in being “true” to science just because he thinks that science agrees with him, his emulation of the animal kingdom—non-monogamous sex, violence, truly disturbing bathroom habits—is going to get ugly very quick. I could spend all day on this—I’ve written and deleted whole paragraphs—but it’s ultimately so stupid that it doesn’t deserve a response. Go watch the full video at Mediaite.
I don’t give a damn who goes into the kitchen. All I know is, they better return with a fuckin sandwich for my choppers.
You feed sandwiches to your motorcycles?
Well, if he wants to marry me, and can absolutely guarantee that I’ll have the same financial comfort (or better) for the rest of my live, and can ensure that he’ll never die, or get tired of me, or hurt me in any way, emotionally or physically, then why the heck not. But here in the real world, I’ve decided that I love my creative boyfriend, and understand that his creativity means that his finances will be sporadic. And, as such, I’m going to have to have a fantastic, fulfilling career to ensure that the occasional lean times doesn’t drive me to prostitution.
WOMEN BELONG IN THE KITCHEN BECAUSE FOOD IS GREAT. MEN AND CHILDREN BELONG THERE, TOO. NOW I’M HUNGRY.
