New feminist meme: "What's good for women is what's good for men"

What is this, trickle-down gender rights?

Men need flexible hours. Men need sick days, because they're going to be caring for parents, as well. Men need all of the things that these women need. These are smart family policies that we're talking about in this report.

I don't mind these kinds of things because they are father friendly and can help men, despite all of the weaseling in Coontz article she did actually show care for the state of men and that's something to reward. For example:

Most of the wage gap between women and men is no longer a result of blatant male favoritism in pay and promotion. Much of it stems from general wage inequality in society at large.

That's a pretty positive thing to hear someone say.

The United States actually has a higher proportion of skilled and highly paid female workers than countries like Sweden and Norway.

That's kind of amazing?!

Obviously though at some point you know all of the "put women first" equality does not in fact, trickle down very much. One thing I think is surprising is the idea of both parents working but cheaper childcare. Is there any economic efficiency to this model or is it just fantasy? Certainly doesn't seem the best for the kids.

Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah -

"What's good for the rich people is good for everyone else."

Something that most feminists (who are generally economically left wing, like myself) are staunchly against.

As always, feminists seek to derail any talk of men's issues, and turn it back to being all about them.

Nevertheless, the fact that they increasingly need to do this is an indication of our own growing presence. They can't just ignore us any more.

I'm sure it will sound good clanging on the walls of their massive echo chamber as it bounces around.

Today, however, becoming a “never-never” employee is increasingly a gender-neutral fate.

No it's not. Men take fewer sick days and are more likely to die on the job than women. Men are the "never-never" employees.

Given the increasing insecurity of many American men, they have good reason to back feminist policies.

We should back the deranged whales who think we're all rapists. What's next, are you going to ask the NAACP to come out in favor of David Duke?

Too bad misogyny is treating a woman as you'd treat a man.

The article quotes Shriver as saying:

I think women are at the center of our country. They're at the center, as I said, in electing our political leaders. They're at the center of the economy. They're in the center of the family.

But somehow that pesky patriarchy keeps oppressing women.

New? Hasn't this meme been around for a while now?

The hypocrisy being lefty femicunts reel in disgust at the idea of trickle down economics, but trickle down equality is okay.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, and what's good for the gander is patriarchy :)

Beer and sex? It's good for men. Feminisms is sounding better already!

I think history has shown what's good for white women has never been good for black men.

What's good for women may or may not be good for men, but it's not good enough.

Not nearly good enough. When taking care of women's needs reduces the worksite deathrate disparties, the child custody award disaparities and the incarceration rate disparities, we'll talk.

Until then have the good sense not to say obviously stupid things like this, Althouse.

If women are the center of the economy, they new to get back in the kitchen and make apology sandwiches for the state it's in. /s
