Fox News: Women would be much happier at home.....instead they put work over family



‘You’d Be Much Happier at Home!': Hannity Panel on Feminism Goes Off the Rails
by Josh Feldman


Welp. A Sean Hannity panel tonight exploded when Gavin McInnes argued that many women are miserable because they “put work over family” — a result of modern feminism, he argued.

While debating the gender wage gap, McInnes asserted that women earn less “because they choose to” and are “less ambitious.” Tamara Holder was pretty taken aback, flatly telling her counterpart: “Your comments are absolutely deplorable.”

As you might expect, the conversation became increasingly heated, with McInnes eventually telling Holder, “Most women are happier at home, they are pretending that they like working.”

To which Holder replied: “Why am I here?”

“You would be much happier at home with a husband and children,” McInnes responded, provoking what can only be described as a WTF face from Holder.

because they're waking up a lot of right wing women as to what the Republicans are really all about.

And I'm speaking as a woman who did stay home with my kids, loved it, glad I did it. But there are so many reasons women work outside the home.

Not to mention, women are at least half of our workforce, and our economy would come to a screeching halt if they all suddenly stayed home, even just the ones with kids.

To be able to stay home and not be a "moocher" off the government, you'll have to marry. But you'll have to marry rich because an average-income earning man will mean you'll have to work, and then you'll be miserable.

What do they call women who marry for money?
