Fox News Contributor Says Working Moms Hate Themselves [View all]

When CNN contributor Hilary Rosen said that Ann Romney “never worked a day in her life,” the Republican Party quickly branded it as the Democratic Party ‘war on moms.’ On the same day, that new talking point soon crumbled as right-wing groups such as the Catholic League criticized Rosen for being a lesbian mother. The RNC Communications Director, Sean Spicer, then defended Rosen before walking back that defense. And now, a Fox News contributor has attacked working moms, declaring that they despise themselves for not staying home with their children.

Fox News contributor Keith Ablow wrote a column attacking working women like Hilary Rosen and others who raise kids and hold down a job at the same time. He wrote that working women despise themselves for not being stay at home moms. Here’s a portion of the column.:

“These “anti-gender” women have it in for anyone who embraces her femininity, maternal instincts and capacity to nurture as their highest priority — postponing or passing up other laudable opportunities to work at, say, a law firm or as a marketing executive. They despise the notion that some women may indeed be drawn — instinctively and happily — toward creating special and loving environments in which to raise their children, while spending all their available time sustaining and enriching those environments and those children.
