I was more interested in the tweet.

Dads statistically doing less housework AND childcare. Women, on the other hand, are the ones doing both paid and unpaid labor. Imagine having to lie just to say nice things about a large swath of fathers lol

Average hours per day parents spent caring for and helping household children as their main activity

8 facts about American dads

Douthat, a conservative, can never really bring himself to indict capitalism for the "one-income/two-income" trap, or for wealth inequality. Instead he settles for sexist tropes about women preferring to work part time.

If you look at expressed female desires in our society, there is both a substantial unmet maternal preference for part-time work over full-time work and a general desire for more children than American women are currently having.

And as is the case every Father's Day, there's the sudden annual rush to credit men with changing a diaper.

this is something

 

I'd also be interested to hear why Christians can't vote for a Democrat.

 

Vigorous jacking-off gestures

 

There’s a substantial unmet paternal preference for part-time work too. Nobody wants to work 40 (or more). They do it because that’s the requirement of their employer and because we celebrate people who put in long hours.

 

What is a “financial statement” anyway? Does a billionnaire not know there are more than one?

On another note, I found it odd that GS was standing over Trump in the interview, and not sitting down. Surprised Trump was OK with that.

 

Dangerous.

 

Well, sure. It’s not like he knows how to hold a screwdriver.

 

I'm totally fine with being skeptical of the intelligence community. But Trump isn't doing so based on anything other than his intuition and the last strongman who flattered him. And when the IC pushes back or someone questions him, he says "WMDs" and thinks that justifies any crackpot opinion which he has.

 

Sarcasm? It’s tool early on a Monday around here for me to figure out?
