Tucker Carlson says women making more money than men leads to “more drug and alcohol abuse, higher incarceration rates, fewer families formed for the next generation” pic.twitter.com/gpAKgy0snV

On his Fox News show Wednesday, Tucker Carlson was back on one of his favorite subjects: how the world is conspiring against men. With a chyron under him reading “Men in decline as ruling class looks away,” he explains how it all went wrong. Spoiler: It’s women’s fault.

Over the last few years, he says, “Male wages declined. Manufacturing, a male-dominated industry all but disappeared over the course of a generation. All that remained in many places were the schools and the hospitals, and both of them are traditional employers of women. In many areas, women suddenly made more than men.”

He says not to “applaud that as a victory for feminism,” even though what he’s describing has nothing to do with progress for women, but a detriment to men, which, despite what men like Carlson believe, are not the same thing.

Instead, he asks us to “consider some of the effects.” He then explains what “study after study has shown,” though he doesn’t actually cite any existing studies, “when men make less than women, women generally don’t want to marry them.”

“Maybe they should want to marry them, but they don’t,” he continues, apparently seeing himself as qualified to tell women what we should want in our personal relationships. Carlson seems to think that if we listened to him and his advice on romance and careers, all the world’s problems would disappear. He’s like a misogynistic Cassandra.

He continues, “Over big populations, this causes a drop in marriage, a spike in out-of-wedlock births and all the familiar disasters that inevitably follow. More drug and alcohol abuse, higher incarceration rates, fewer families formed in the next generation. This is not speculation, it’s not propaganda from the evangelicals. It’s social science. We know it’s true. Rich people know it best of all, that’s why they get married before they have kids. That model works.”

Instead of following the model of “rich people,” though, “rural America now looks a lot like Detroit,” where “decades of badly designed social programs had driven fathers from the home.”

Carlson’s entire argument seems to be that immigrants and “foreign workers” are taking jobs from “native-born Americans,” and women are keeping their jobs and choosing them over men, meaning women and POC are responsible for white men’s unemployment, substance abuse, incarceration, and basically every other problem in their lives. Rather than ask how any of these things, including fathers being “driven … from the home” also affect women, he blames women, as well as society at large for these problems.

For someone that has accused women of “playing the victim,” he sure doesn’t seem to think men have a lot of agency in making their own decisions.

Of course, we’d expect nothing less from a man who has previously called belief in a patriarchy “a sign of mental illness,” agreed heartily with a guest who accused feminists of “trying to disappear males,”  and once encouraged male victims of domestic violence in straight relationships not to come forward because getting abused by a woman is “embarrassing.”

What I’m saying is the man’s opinions, they’re garbage.

New Year, new you! Need help getting it all together? Florida A&M graduate Shelby Tinsley created iShallBe, an app that delivers daily motivational affirmations straight to your mobile device. The platform sends you quotes, inspirational videos, and affirmations once a day in an effort to encourage you to get motivated.

“I do have faith that iShallBe will motivate other people,” stated Tinsley.

There are several apps currently like this on the market, including Thinkup, Motivate, and Shine, so what makes this different? For starters, it was created by an African-American founder and the backdrop is interfaced with African Americans connecting it back to the community. Additionally, the content and community showcases tons of African American users.

This is great for the culture as there are so many negative images and messages in social media currently being unearthed that it gives the multicultural community a place where they can go to embrace positivity.

“iShallBe was created with the strong desire to encourage others to get through all trials and tribulations, and remind you that there will be victory at the end of all troubles,” states the site. “iShallBe will supply nourishment to both mind and soul. However, it is up to you to remain faithful and speak nothing but love, joy, and positivity in your life. For if you speak it, it shall be.”
