Conservative Columnist Ross Douthat: 'We Need to Slut Shame Women More'

[Triana]

Boy, the wingnuts just keep getting loonier and loonier...I think they need some Midol. Here's another one of "The American Taliban".

According to the 5 millionth study released on the subject just this week, American women are afflicted with a deep-seated dissatisfaction ... or unhappiness ... or malaise ... you know, a "problem with no name", just like that other problem Betty Friedan wrote about. Except that this time around, everyone can blame feminism!

That’s what Ross Douthat does in a New York Times op-ed, (very loosely based on the study) that the NYT chose to highlight with a slot on their online front page.

On some fronts — graduation rates, life expectancy and even job security — men look increasingly like the second sex. But all the achievements of the feminist era may have delivered women to greater unhappiness.

Douthat also chalks up the crushing dissatisfaction plaguing women to another terrible development: the "advance" of single motherhood:

3. He has Low esteem of himself...became a Women Hater...prolly abused as a child

4. So Ross is launching a campaign to ostracize Newt and Rush?

No reason, of course, save the fact that contemporary America doesn’t seem willing to accept sexual stigma, period. We simply don’t have the stomach for permanently ostracizing the sexually irresponsible — be they a pregnant starlet, a thrice-divorced tycoon, or even a prostitute-hiring politician.

...Like Rush and Newt, Ross?

I'll pay attention to Douthat when he actually does that.

[Triana]

9. LOL! Seems so. Heh. n/t

[FLAprogressive]

6. More like Russ Douchebag or Russ Asshat. or maybe Russ Douchehat. nt

[devilgrrl]

8. What's the point in doing that? How are guys going to get laid?

I never got that kind of attitude... girls having to "behave" but guys don't. If all girls "behave" what are men going to do to get off????

Makes no sense. :crazy:

12. I hope he knows that it costs an extra thousand.

Just leave it on the dresser. If I'm going to be relegated to being a slut, it's going to cost him, but fair warning, I prefer to be the dominatrix.

[Triana]

13. you know, he'd probably take you up on that.

kick his ass...
