Tucker Carlson: White Men’s Rights Activist

He continued with some nonsense about how criticizing the sort of bullshit he regularly says is leading to the “death of creativity,” the end of serious science, and a “new dark age.”

Weird, I always assumed ‘a “new dark age”’ was somewhere in Fox News’s mission statement…

In the grand tradition of MRAs living off of women even as they claim that we’re lazy and horrible and men are superior, Tucker is wealthy and connected enough to have gotten on TV in the first place because his mother is the Swanson foods heiress.

@WWTH: I’ve read that Tucker has mommy issues. I don’t want to run afoul of the blog rules, so I won’t say any more than that.

He’s an aggressively stupid-looking human being, in my opinion.

“Valor, courage, chivalry, heroism and war [are] uniquely male”

Which means that from this moment, he can never acknowledge or recognize heroism or courage or valor or chivalry in any woman…not in a woman who risks her life to bear a child or in a woman who sacrifices her self-respect to spare a man’s feelings or in a woman who shoulders a solid load of insult which would crush a man like Carlson to the earth in order to break into the kind of field from which he’d like to bar her. All these women are destitute of courage and are strangers to chivalry and never can be brave. That’s his story; he picked it voluntarily; nobody held a gun to his head and forced him to take up this particular line of guff.

So, since he picked his story and since he had his choice, let him stick to his decision from now on. Let him never ever change his mind. Amen.

(As for Brett Kavanaugh, no man has acted that guilty since John Wilkes Booth yelled “Death to tyrants” — or words to that effect — and jumped onto the stage.)

@weirwoodtreehugger: chief manatee

It reminds me of a story that showed that one of biggest predictor of sexim amongst men was being of low status and feeling of inferiorities, especially toward women. I don’t think Carlson is attacking women because he hates them (not that this cannot also be the case) so much as he’s trying to reassure himself and his audience of their status. It’s a bit like a bullied kid who says he could so kick his bully’s ass so easily if he wanted to when the bully isn’t around to hear it and despite all evidence to the contrary.

“Tonight he doubled-down & went a step further calling modern society the “dark ages” and crediting women with killing science, art & comedy.”

Translation; people have stopped laughing at his racist and sexist jokes.

So how many of these guys who exalt war as the fruition of masculine virtue have personally served in the military, much less seen combat?

To me Carlson’s expression always screams ‘I just shat myself!!!’ to me.

“Valor, courage, chivalry, heroism and war [are] uniquely male”

Oh dear lord so much wrong in such a small space –
1 -courage – so say Joan of Arc and Rosa Parks to name two were really men? Interesting Tucker – do go on.

2 – Chivalry – First the rules of Chivalry as they were first laid down applied only the members of their own class – peasants infidels and heretics could and were killed tortured and raped at will. And of course it didn’t really work = that the Morte de Arthur written at the end of the middle ages had to include in it’s list of the vows of Chivalry a promise not to rape women. One would assume a knight wouldn’t need to say that out loud no?

3 – war Jesus you’re claiming this as a good thing? War may be a necessary choice but it’s never a good one. It’s a brutal horrible thing that does damage to everyone involved even the winners – only a cosseted fop like Carlson would celebrate it.

” If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.”

Dulce et Decorum Est
– Wilfred Owen.

Is Little Tuck not aware that his contentions make men appear to be feckless morons who are incapable of looking after themselves?

Oh no, lower wages for men lead to higher rates of incarceration and drug abuse? If only there were some way to mandate higher wages. We could set some kind of minimum amount that people could be paid, maybe. I’m sure Tucker, who is so concerned about these issues, wouldn’t fly into a frothing rage at the mere suggestion.

I keep saying, don’t trust white men.

He’s such a stupid little shit. It warms my heart to know that his tombstone will read “got his ass kicked by Jon Stewart on live national television.”
