you know, i haven t seen a lot of polling that says let s wage a war on men. i do think just like you were talking earlier, it s good to know people have these biases in advance. any man out there who thinks who s going to complain if his wife gets equal pay, he doesn t want his wife to get paid more for the hours she works doesn t deserve to have a wife. there should be a question on match.com that says do you think there s a war on men? any guy who says yes should automatically does not find anybody. the market would then sort itself out. alex, you know, we re making fun of it. in all seriousness, one of the things we saw this year that as margie points out, some of those biases can actually have an impact on serious policy. like, you know, toronto s wall street journal op-ed talking about military sexual assault and sort of putting blame on women. which in our rape culture, that tends to happen.
benefited from centuries of white male privilege. now suddenly somebody is coming along and saying we want some of that. we want to make things equal. and the quality and traditional generals are just fundamentally imcompatible. to them it feels like a war. it feels like they re under attack because suddenly they want women to be equal? that s outrageous. it s not a zero sum game. hold on, margie. there s two more points in this ridiculous article i want to it was a great article by media matters. the whole assertion is a little silly. i want to get to it. one is some conservatives are saying actually the fact that we don t have physical education in schools and boys can t run around and be rough and tumble and we re actually feminizing school because you have to follow instructions and sit and be quiet, that that is part of the war on men rather than, margie, acknowledging the fact that we have budget cuts. that s why there s no more p.e. and no more art classes. right. exactl
socially taboo. you shouldn t be doing it. you think everybody is noticing you doing it and condemning you in their mind. you walk up to the woman, say, will you please ask your breasts to stop staring at my eyes? margie, it is all your fault. you and those boobs. i m telling you. i hard to know what to say. the thought of rush limbaugh, you know, and the male gaze of rush limbaugh is just too much to take. of course we should be not to blame. everybody knows that. and he s become a laughing stock. he just has to keep getting crazier and crazier in order to get cover elsewhere. for people to pay attention. here s my question to you, though. is there any polling anywhere that suggests that women are aware that this is a problem? because maybe we just need to let more women in on the secret. yeah.
a tough cross to bear, right? but the numbers don t lie. women still earn less and we still work more hours. now we re actually being told we can t be trusted to make critical life decisions like, i don t know, what medicines to take. but i digress. here to help me take a look at this so-called war on men, margie o hara and political correspondent for the nation alex sykes wald. i m going to start with you, margie. apparently, the attack on marriage was cultural. it s part of our fault, rush would say of course. of course. in part because we have boobs. and it s natural for them to look at our boobs. let s take a listen. the first suggestion the first way to deal with this that came into my mind, you find yourself staring, looking at, casually glancing at a woman. but you know that it s now
