"When you look at all these women that have marched -- something like 2 million women -- Donald Trump has probably gotten more obese woman off the couch and in the streets, working out, than Michelle Obama did in eight years," he said on an episode reviewed by CNN.
He even has challenged mainstream orthodoxy on subjects like violence against women.
In the early 2000s, Elder maintained a page on his personal website on "women and domestic violence statistics," citing three articles that alleged a narrative that violence against women was exaggerated for political gain of feminists.

Another asked, "Why does our culture refuse to hold women as well as men accountable for their participation in domestic violence?"
In his books, Elder endorsed pregnancy discrimination, according to a report from Media Matters, suggesting that working mothers aren't "dedicated" and available for an "all-hands-on-deck commitment" to work
