Discussion: Fox Host: Feminism Is To Blame For Rise In Number Of Children Born Out Of Wedlock

Discussion for article #234219

Yeah, never blame the man…

Fox News host Andrea Tantaros blamed feminism during Wednesday’s episode
of “Outnumbered” for the increase in the number of “unmarried
cohabitating couples” who are having children.

I would not trust anything Tantaros says for being accurate.

So they now have another Latino jerk.

In the Catholic Church I attend, the sacerdote barely can be heard because of the fact that the iglesia is full of MARRIED working men and women who bring their children to church.

I lightheartedly opined on another post that the Right was going to swing and swing and swing at as many types of people other than conservative men as possible.

And until the Networks (including FOX) are made aware that there is a mass of 70% of the population for which this kind of Non News is not acceptable, FOX and its sister arm, the MSM, are going to go rolling along. We already know that about 70% of the population agrees with most of the positions most of the people who post here have.

They just have to be made aware that we all have a right to vote.

I had earlier suggested a $100,000,000 ad campaign. Even $1,000,000,000, if that’s what it takes.

That stuff works:

How else to people get convinced to buy all of this stuff they don’t need? And, in this case, we NEED to take back our politics from a small, but ideologically zealous group.

You beat me to it. “Manny Alvarez” needs to shut his ignorant piehole lest he find himself on a one-way bus trip back to Chihuahua. Between him and Ben Carson, the “Doctors” are poorly represented on Faux News.

Teatroll Rosetta Stone: “We’re still angry that women figured out they’re not men’s property and don’t have to tolerate being treated like dinner-making babymachine chattel.”

But hey, it’s all perfectly ok, because the misogynist who said it has a vajayjay.

So, Sarah Palin should thank feminism for her daughter having a child out of wedlock?

Oh dear. It’s not about feminism or “values”. It’s about poverty. This just now from Paul Krugman on a closely related issue.

Well, here’s an experiment: change the structure of the economy in such a
way that a large class of white men — say, white men without a college
degree — similarly lose access to good jobs. If Wilson was right, we’d
expect to see a sharp decline in stable marriages, a rise in unwed
births, growing drug use, and other forms of social disruption.

And that is, in fact, exactly what happened: William Julius Wilson was right. Which makes it remarkable to see people look at that very evidence and say that it shows that the real problem isn’t money, it’s values.

They didnt even site any of the studies findings. They just gave their opinions as if they were facts from the study.

Isn’t it time for a TPM feature called the Daily Tantaros? What day goes by when she doesn’t say something outrageous?

It is the fault of the wimmin, because they are acting like men.

I can’t keep up with Fox. What happened to blaming same-sex marriage, Muslims, taxes, Obama, and immigrants for destroying America?

“Women have been encouraged to give it up … freely with the rise of feminism, have sex like a man,” Tantaros said. “So, they’re doing this and they’re not making the guy step up to put a ring on it.”

Yes, I think it’s very clear that sex outside of marriage is a very recent phenomenon.

Middle income status, too.

The facts are a bit more complex, too complex for the likes of Tantros.

“Washington, D.C. had the highest percentage of women with a birth in the previous year who were unmarried (51 percent), followed closely by Louisiana (49 percent), Mississippi (48 percent) and New Mexico (48 percent). The states with the lowest percentages were Utah (15 percent) and New Hampshire (20 percent).” http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/02/mapping-unwed-motherhood (As of 2013)

Wait… wut? The South has the most feminists? Who knew?!?
