Imagine wanting your partner to make less money, just to protect your fragile masculinity. The mind truly boggles.

My wife makes about 175% what I make. Somehow we still managed to make children & keep me out of jail & off drugs. I will never cease to be amazed by the whiny, mewling self-pity that these guys mistake for manhood.https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/1080633771525922816 …

out of jail & off drugs *so far*

"Off drugs" might, strictly speaking, have been an exaggeration.

That clip is corroborating evidence for this essay about how what unites the rise of authoritarians around the world is a backlash against the rise of women in power. It's a persuasive argument.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/01/authoritarian-sexism-trump-duterte/576382/ …

Yes, 100% agree.

Why Was the Bashing of Hillary Clinton — Until It Was Pelosi & then Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & now Elizabeth Warren perhaps — Our Most Popular Political Meme?https://medium.com/@upine/why-is-hillary-clinton-bashing-the-most-popular-political-meme-in-the-nation-b660c97998ee …

I thought far and away the "most popular political meme" over the last few years has been bashing trump?
-
Totally agree. Without Trump bashing CNN would not have programming. It’s not even close.
-
Sounds like a Fox viewer's impression of CNN.
-
Pretty sure it’s anyone who is awake. You down with Muslim woman’s vile tirade first day in Congress? CNN is. Watched half hour yesterday and all they did was obsess about a nothing tweet. No news, no issues, all hate. If that’s your cup of tea, it’s a free country.

This is classic “talking your book.” That’s an old Wall Street saying where people talk up stocks they own to make themselves feel better. However, the data is indisputable. Women’s preference is for men who make more money and have more education than they do.

And these are the same people that whine about “liberal snowflakes”. Tucker is flatly admitting that he believes most men are a bunch of loser pussies who can’t handle the ego blow of earning less than women, so instead of working toward advancing they drink themselves to death
-
I think you have it backwards - the claim, while perhaps a bit generalized, is that women do not like marrying men who make less (assortative mating by status). The findings supporting this claim rely on women's, rather than men's, preferences.
-
It's a distinction without a difference. So instead of making positive changes to improve their financial situation & their mating prospects, they instead become drunks (which makes them additionally unattractive to potential mates). Tucker wants us to feel bad for these losers?
-
It is a distinction with a massive difference. There is a host of literature explaining why assortative mating by status (for both income and education) is contributing to various social ills. Just check out the thread by poverty researcher Samuel Hammond (

Also, he says the “ruling class” looks away. Has he checked the gender of this nefarious ruling class? Even after record-setting 2018 for women candidates, men are still majority in all 101 state and national legislative chambers. Oh, and every president and veep, ever.
-
Ruling, high-status, wealthy men have, historically, been perfectly happy to act in ways which benefit them more than they benefit all men. Hence polygamy.

You missed an important bit in that clip, namely that the women apparently choose not to marry the lower earning men. Now it’s possible that erroneous or lacking sufficient context, but there are two sexes contributing to this issue, not just dudes.
-
Because many women subscribe to patriarchal beliefs too. It’s not men against women. It’s all of us against the patriarchy (although I doubt that’s the conclusion Carlson derives).
-
Dismissing women's choices is the new feminism?
