Yes, The Blaze is an independent news and entertainment television network and website founded by Glenn Beck.  He calls it an alternative to "mainstream media outlets" which he believes are "distorting facts to fit rigid agendas."[/quote]

My god. Fox News really does breed some incredible a-holes.  I love that the message here is "Men are losing something. Women may have gained something in the past three decades (not true, BTW -- overall stats on progress are abysmal). Therefore, it stands to reason (because I have one brain cell, and it's steeped in Glenn Beck/Fox drivel) that the women may have taken the things men used to have.  And therefore, women are taking from men.

There are various forces at work here, people.  Are you having a hard time earning money for the family as a single income earner for the family?  There's some reasons for that.  Are you having a hard time earning money for the family as one of two income earners for the family?  There are some reasons for that?  Is child care a challenge, especially with two income earners for the family?  Again, reasons.  Have you been unemployed for months, maybe even years?  Again, reasons.

There are plenty of folks who'd be THRILLED that people in the middle class, struggling to maintain -- or even attain -- the successes of their own parents turn to the people next to them (women, immigrants, people of a different color, "liberals") and blame them for their challenges.  I am here to tell you that they are not the sources of your problems.  The sources of your problems are more likely silent, invisible forces that you can't see, because they do not live next to you.  But if you pay attention to the clues like a scientist/social scientist does, you can piece together the evidence and find out what's really going on.

Go now, and be smart about this.

PS: Global warming is caused in large part by human activity.  And evolution isn't just a silly scientific religious belief.  Oh, I have so much more to tell you.
