And the white man in the mid west or south cried hard when his wife got a raise - NOT!

Get out in front of the GOP meme that men are upset their wives are doing well.

1. I don't understand.

2. I added the link a few seconds later. Look at it now. I thought it deserved its own

OP. Just like the Gary and Steve living down the street from you doesn't destroy your marriage..... men are not unhappy when their wives do well in the heartland. But the GOP will try and teach the base this is so. And, unfortunately, the base will follow and vote against Hillary Clinton and them and their wives best interest.

4. But why are conservative men and women not exposing this lie?

[arcane1]

5. And why is Fox even pushing it?

It's as if they can't NOT be the opposite

6. I'm sure some are. The more voices the better.

9. I agree. I always thought that was a lie. Why would any man not want his wife to make good money

on her job? Why Fox news and some conservatives pushed this lie was weird to me.What was the point what was their agenda in doing so?

11. they're creating all sorts of assumption about women so the base will automatically hate Hillary

Clinton. They have quite a ways to go before they can get all democrats and all republicans attacking each other on sexism issues. Right now the antifeminists are a portion of the GOP. But they have to get all of them onside. Thus the meme than alpha women hurt men.

12. So , once again people will vote against their own interest .

I have spoke to several conservative women from time to time and that they feel their party protects them as women. So it seems like it is working.

3. In all of our marriage ...

there has been a 6 month period in which I made more than my wife ... She had retired and was doing consulting work; before she got a real job and the promotion that followed soon afterward. (and if she had put her heart into pursuing the consulting work, it would have been less than 2 months, as she turned down 2 contracts).

And guess what? ... I ain't mad!

7. Exactly. Who doesn't like more income? Apparently Republicans and Fox news.

8. If my wife doubled her income

I could retire tomorrow!

[1StrongBlackMan]

10. Heck ...

Based on my wife's income ... I could retire today! But I like being able to do what we want, when we want.
