Don't Take Marriage Advice From Fox News

Fox News is offering you marriage advice...from 1956. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you why you shouldn’t follow their advice. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“In what perhaps is one of Fox News’ most sexist segments ever to air, Phyllis Schlafly's niece Suzanne Venker argued that women ought to be “more compliant and less dictatorial” in their marriages, because it is the “natural state” for men to be the “alpha” and women to be the “beta.” Venker claimed that “the relationship deteriorates” when women start “micromanaging everything,” become an “alpha” wife, and are “nagging, perfectionist, [and tell] him what he’s doing wrong.” Venker concluded, “Men are so simple to love. All they want is sex, companionship and respect.” At one point, co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked Venker to “please” “give us some tips” on how women should behave in marriages.

This segment continued a long history of sexism from both Fox & Friends and Venker. Fox & Friends hosted a panel of men in 2015 debating whether women should be allowed to wear leggings. Co-host Brian Kilmeade has a track record of degrading women on air, and former co-host Gretchen Carlson, who repeatedly experienced sexism from her two male co-hosts, named Steve Doocy in a lawsuit alleging that he regularly treated her “in a sexist and condescending way.” Venker has previously written that feminism has eliminated all of men’s incentives to marry.”
