Fox News Guest: Feminists Aren’t Being ‘What God Designed Them To Be’

A group of conservative women told Fox News on Tuesday that feminism was dangerous because it had “sexualized” women and made them “afraid to be stay-at-home moms.” In an appearance on Fox & Friends to promote their new book, “What Women Really Want,” hosts of the Internet video show Politichicks explained to host Anna Kooiman that liberal women were “intolerant.”

“They claim they’re feminists, but what they actually are, they are sexualists,” Politichicks Editor in Chief Ann-Marie Murrell opined. “It has nothing to do with empowering women anymore.” “We earned the right to vote, we have equality in the workplace,” she continued. “If we don’t, we can fight that on a one-on-one basis. But everything they’re about now is kind of about from the head down. It has nothing to do with women’s brains or their hearts.”

Kooiman suggested that “the left was tolerant as long as you agreed with them 100 percent.” “Women don’t want to be objectified, and what the feminist movement has successfully done, is really, sexualized women instead of feminizing women,” Politichicks host Dr. Gina Loudon asserted. “So, we’re here with a new brand of feminism, saying drop the shackles of the old feminism. It’s time for women who really want to be women, who want to be feminine, who want to be what God designed them to be.” “We want no more of this feminists politicizing our bodies, and what happens in our bedrooms,” Loudon concluded. “That’s all that the feminist movement has successfully done. And we’re here to battle back, and say we know what women really want.”

“They claim that we put women back into the 50s where women stayed home and took care of their children,” Murrell added. “I say that what they’re doing, they are like cave women waiting for a caveman to bonk them on the head and drag them into the cave by the hair. That’s who they are. They’re the ones putting us back into the stone ages.” Politichicks host Morgan Brittany argued that feminists had created a stigma that made women ashamed to stay at home with their children. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/09/02/fox-news-guest-feminists-arent-being-what-god-designed-them-to-be/

This is the biggest crock I have ever read. When men made good wages the mothers could stay home and raise the kids but with the rise of Reaganism in the 1980's when he let wall street go on the merger and acquisitions rage and destroyed unions starting with PATCO. He is the one who set in motion the reason why women had to work not wanted to work.

And not all women want to get married, have children and be under the thumb of a man. I was raised that marriage is an equal partnership and the woman also had to contribute to the bank account.

Well educated person that is reduced to sounding like a complete nut job. She appears to have little grasp of what feminism is, was or even what young woman that consider themselves feminist want out of life. Surrounded by the echo chamber that is fox news people think they sound like a genius when really they sink further and further into the self induced stupidity. Claims like the left being tolerant are so profoundly empty it makes you want to laugh. I think most 5 year olds grasp people seeking 100% tolerance need to become pod people or they will be disappointed. On Fox it sounds like everyone in the world agrees only because no other view point (even conservative view point) is allowed. Highly educated people are not immune. Do not watch fox and do not vote Republican. It is the only cure.
