Yet another Faux Nooz thread. My past attempts to get involved in these have gotten nowhere, but hey why not.
Anyways Red State founder Erick Eriksson was on board, and made an interesting retort [http://www.redstate.com/2013/05/30/the-truth-may-hurt-but-is-not-mean/] (and having all sorts of fun on twitter, though making links from mobile is difficult so find it yourself)... not about the panel being all male; even I will admit that was asinine, but the topic of debate itself.

I don't get my news from Fox but did hear about this statistic elsewhere. I believe there was an important part in the data: the number that are single mothers. Any working single-parent is not an ideal household for raising a child.
While this is a substantial find, the changing picture of society, it's much deeper than income. For example, women are overtaking men in higher education. Just at the doctor's office today, the topic came up and an elder male doctor claimed the trend in medical schools today; they're female.
There's both interesting and alarming parts to glean, which could be saying as much about boys as it does girls. I've heard different theories and suggestions as to why, and while not speaking to this panel specifically, it's not a point to really celebrate when there are issues to consider.

"Change!? In OUR society!? NOOOOOOOOO"
Pretty much sums it up. Fox, you can say stupid stuff about playing the vidya, because you probably shouldn't know better, but are you seriously still telling women to get back in the kitchen?
EDIT: Oh, and men can raise kids, too.

I really need to stop reading comments for shit like this, it always makes me want a go on homicidal rampage. Argh but this should be expected when FOX is involved.
My mother was the main income earner when I was growing up and my dad worked from home. It was never an issue to them or me or my brother. The only one who took issue with it was my grandmother because she seemed to think leaving the kids with a man would cause us to spontaneously com-bust or something. It didn't of course, men can look after kids too.
Now single parents and having both parent working long hours is an issue but it being the woman that is working is not.
And the whole "Look at the animal kingdom! It's nature!!" thing that always seem to come up in this discussion is such bullshit. Males are dominant and do the breadwinning while females look after the kids is not actually how most animals operate, it's not even how most mammals operate, it isn't the same for all species so you can't point at an example of that and go "oh well that must be how it's meant to be for humans too" and modern society removes most of the reasons for this set up anyway.

I doubt this will invalidate men. for one itd probably be either super expensive or super flawed. and even if it were perfect and the price of a happy meal? theres sex.triggrhappy94 said:
oh wait there are fucking machines nevermind. well thats just more time spent playing VIDAEO JAM3Z!!!!
You are absolutely correct. I in no way meant to downsize the obvious and dangerous population that does agree with these dolts.thaluikhain said:
How the fuck does that pass as resonable journalism. I have honestly never seen such a heap of backwards ignorant crap in my life. I am so glad I never have to encounter scum like this in real life
What's the big deal, guys? This is a major issue as proven with SCIENCE! What will we do when children grow up thinking women can live their lives without a real MAN? WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN! (Sarcasm, i realize if I don't put that i would sound exactly like them. They could easily backpedal this by saying it was a joke and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.)
Please tell me that I slipped into a coma without realising it and this is actually April 1st? That is literally the only thing that could restore my faith in common sense right now.
So this whole thing is apparently startin somethin at Fox News. Normally when a pundit says somethin insane, most reporters/anchors/hosts just either nod their head or pretend it wasn't as insane as any rational people think it was.
Fox news' own Megyn Kelly actually questioned this entire thing, on live television, and persisted with it for an entire segment.
At first the way she's smilin and even kinda laughs makes you think that she's just goin to do the nod her head and agree garbage. Then BAM, all out assault.
She seems quite legitimately pissed that one of her colleagues actually believes the crap he's spewin.
Full thing here.
Some terrifyin things that happened. She actually brings out facts. Real honest facts. She brings up the fact that homosexual couples fair no worse than hetero families when it comes to family raising. Its...I dont even know. If this is some sort of ruse, its probably the most convincin ruse ever.

Yeah that's exactly why I didn't look at any of the comments on any of the links.OhJohnNo said:Oh gods. Did you guys read the comments on that second link? My mind... is full... of urges
Regardless, this is one of the most sickening things I've read since I learned that people were hiring handicapped tour guides to skip Disney lines. Which I read this morning. So it's been a pretty sickening day, all in all. Thanks Fox News.
before the 24 hour news cycle, you'd get Walter Cronkite on CBS at 7pm leading off with a story like "Today, the Department of Homeland Security announced a bulk purchase of ammunition that's expected to save x amount of dollars over the next ten years." today, you have someone like Megan Kelly going into commercial break with "Is the Obama administration creating an artificial bullet shortage, we'll have so-and-so from the NRA to talk about it after the break." same story, different approach, one fact based, the other paranoid dog-whistling
