Andrea Tantaros: Feminist moms don’t have husbands because they ‘give it up freely’...

Um what?!?


Fox News host Andrea Tantaros asserted on Wednesday that marriage was in decline because feminism had encouraged women to “freely” have “sex like a man.”

Medical contributor Dr. Manny Alvarez explained to the hosts of Outnumbered that one reason more couples were having children out of wedlock was because immigrants did not respect the institution of marriage.

“A lot of times, it’s cultural,” Alvarez said. “There are many people coming to this country where that is a norm, where people meet, they get together, they want to have a baby. And bingo, they come back here and they don’t think about the marriage thing.”

“This new philosophy sometimes is the way people were brought up, but it’s also because, in my opinion, the whole concept of marriage, whether it is heterosexual marriage or homosexual marriage, whatever the case may be, is really something that people are not paying attention,” he continued. “The concept of fidelity is something that’s being lost.”

*snip*

“I mean this is a term that been dubbed by [conservative website] Breitbart as the sexodus,” she said.

If men were freely having sex and pre-feminist women weren't having sex, who were the men having sex with?

Of course, this woman could be a blithering idiot, which seems more likely.

Upright family men have been using the lower classes as their brothel at least as far back as anybody bothered to write down who was fucking who.

Is the vegenaise on the inside of the gumby costume, or on the outside?

Sometimes I just don't understand men.

who can honestly say it would have been a good idea to marry the first person you had sex with?

What kind of fucking idiot thinks that way. Rather than "saving sex for marriage", far better for people to "save marriage" for the person they're compatible with, including sexually, IF marriage is something they even want to commit to in the first place.

The Fox News host clarified: "It's like a song you love, but don't really know the lyrics. Just the general sound, and maybe the refrain."

Knew I'd marry him in the first 30 seconds after we met.

Of course he'd had multiple partners before we hooked up, as had I, so we knew what we wanted immediately. Coming up on 30 years anniversary. ..

Experience matters.

child care, food stamps, reduced income federal housing = these things are not enough to turn some single girl into a mother, but the most important thing they have is independence from, in some cases, a domineering husband, and some married women will take the benefits and leave the bums.

we don't have husbands because we don't need fucked up lives.

I've had a husband. I don't care to go there again.

I have a SO. We are both happy with the non-marriage shit.

Can they make a calendar to let me know which days I'm what? That way I can plan my outfits accordingly.
