Fox News Host, Tucker Carlson, Outraged Over Loss Of Manliness

Yet again a Fox News host has illustrated how out of touch conservatives are with the world as we know it. In an embarrassing display of misogynistic absurdity, Tucker Carlson, host of Fox's 'Outnumbered,' went on a tirade about his belief that the 'manliness' of men is under attack.

“Part of it is somebody told boys when they were little, ‘Be sensitive, be thoughtful.’ And some of that’s fine, too much of it makes you pretty unattractive to women. And this is one of the reasons, because it suggests weakness.”

Of course it should come as no surprise that Fox's female cohost agreed, and then blamed it on the 'feminist movement.'

“I blame it on the feminist movement,” 

Katie Pavlich said. She continued with:

 “Because the feminist movement for decades has told men not to embraces their manliness, that is part of the patriarchy of our society. And that being a man is a bad thing. And that you should downgrade your manliness. And saying ‘man up’ is not acceptable because manning up is not based on gender. They have all these things where they take the man part out of being a man, and then we wonder why men don’t act like men anymore.”

Carlson went on to deride men and women for daring to decide without his help, who should pay for dinner.

“Men, who on the second date, let their date pay for dinner, I’m sorry that’s disgusting, and I don’t care. The new norms are — he shouldn’t allow it. Period.”

The Faux Christian gender stereotype is a lie.

It's past time that women put right wing Christian men in their place. I've been looking for a good reason to do just that. While these men seek to use religion and culture to subjugate women, their misogynistic views actually have nothing to do with the Bible. Sadly, older women and Christian women have swallowed the lie that rigid gender roles are 'what God intended.' 

The New Testament makes it very clear that gender roles and stereotypes based on skin color, culture or economic class are not even close to what the Christian God had in mind. In fact, the idea of equality is presented in no uncertain terms in the New Testament. 

The book of Galatians, chapter 3, verse 28 says:

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (NIV)

Does it get any more clear than that? 

Contrary to right wing lies, the Christian Bible provides a very strong foundation for the elimination of gender roles. Of course nut jobs like Carlson or this minister who said the United States should ban women from voting, would never quote Galatians 3:28. That's simply because it doesn't serve the purpose of helping to keep women subservient and preserving the male power structure within society. 

But if seeking to eliminate gender roles and stereotypes in society is evil, then the Christian God must be evil, since the concept is clearly spelled out in the Bible. The real evil is in the male power structure, in combination with the right wing agenda, that would lead to the virtual enslavement of every other person, to the white male faux Christian. 

These are people who try to use religion as means of exalting themselves, gaining and maintaining power, controlling other people and promoting themselves at the expense of others. In their egotism,they really believe that God placed them on some pedestal above all of the other people on earth, especially women. 

If anyone has been ensnared by the devil, it's the right wing Christians, who have thrown out the idea of humility and servitude, in exchange for the idea that what Christians are supposed to do is force others to submit to their will.
