All-Male Fox Panel Freaks Out About Female Breadwinners
"When you look at biology, look at the natural world, the roles of a male and a female in society, and other animals, the male typically is the dominant role.

But that being said, and speaking as someone who knows far from everything, here's my one piece of advice for the Fox Business panel, y'know, just between us blokes:

On behalf of science-lovers everywhere, please please don't say the word Science when your Ideology is talking. It makes you look like an idiot.
