Quote of the Day: “Men used to marry to have sex” so they no longer have an incentive

Suzanne Venker is back at Fox News doing what she does best: blaming feminism for something everything. This time, it’s feminism’s fault that men supposedly don’t want to get married anymore. Why? Because there’s exactly “nothing in it for them.”

Quote of the Day: “Men–the new second class citizens”

Regular readers of the blog probably know by now that I have a weakness for Suzanne Venker’s trolling.

Suzanne Venker responds to criticism of “The war on men”
