Female Fox news pundit states young women shouldn't vote

[Jhhnn]

Could we get a little more Duh-version?

In Faux News parlance, the fact that women will work for less just means they're all too dumb to vote, right?

 

[trenchfoot]

My daughter's educational creds and street smart creds speak for themselves. She's in her early twenties, bright as a magnesium flare, got ambition and knows how to use it. There are millions and millions of other young American women just like her who vote.

So yeah, I can see all of those cantankerous old male codgers steeped in the traditions of the GOP being silently afraid of women like these. They must have nightmares that these young women represent the future of our nation.

These intelligent ambitious women hear about the kind of demeaning trash talk about them coming out of FOX. Guess what? FOX just turned a whole lot more of these ladies against the GOP.....like FOREVER.

Great job FOX! Alienating more and more folks away from the GOP seems to be a congenital habit for you. lol

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

More short sighted, offensive inanities from Fox. Whoop-dee-fucking-doo.

 

[Balt]

She's got nice legs, though, so I'm pretty sure her opinion is valid.

And a lot of them will be voting, I'm sure.

Maybe some of you dim bulbs can find somebody to read this to you but do so only if you're interested in something other than links with zero substance that the OP seems to prefer. The ease with which you're manipulated is telling. Please, don't vote. Please.

I'm sorry, how does your link discredit my post. I was merely pointing out the reaction to that vacuous talking head's drivel about how young women should stay away from voting because 'they don't get it'. (read, they don't think like I do so let's keep them away from the voting booths)

You didn't really address the point there. You're the one trying to make a diversion.

I'll give it a shot. You were trying to show that income inequality was just as prevalent under the Obama administration as it was under any other. Now, how does that relate to the OP? Specifically when a 'fair and balanced' news pundit suggests that young women aren't mature enough to vote and should stay home.
I fail to see how they are related, other than both topics are showing that women still battle to have the same rights and respect as men, both in the workplace and in the voting booth.

Does that about cover it?

I agree, that nifty graph and the OP are entirely unrelated.

See you next Tuesday!

It doesn't discredit your post it gives context to your post. George Soros' Media Matters manufactured the headline and the story first, from there it went to HuffPoop and then it got circulated and further watered down to more obscure sites such as the one you linked to. Her comment was a sarcastic afterthought made within the context of the prior discussion.

But I get it, the left takes everything purely at face value. Nuance is lost on them. Sarcasm is not something to chuckle at and appreciate for its basis in truth, it's to be seized upon in a quest to confirm one's intelligence. It is a much easier way to go through life. All reactions are knee-jerk reactions that are forgotten when the next shiny object comes into view.

As for her being a 'vacuous talking head', I fully understand your position towards her as it's a typical one from the left towards successful women they don't agree with politically. But I for one, would be thrilled to have accomplished even half of what she has at her age. She's a highly successful woman and mother.

My apologies. I called her vacuous, and she is far from it. She graduated magna cum laude from University of California, Davis. And got her Juris Doctor, and was a celebrated and awarded lawyer.
However, I stand by my statement that her comments were thoughtless and demeaning to women, whether it was 'tongue in cheek' or not. I wonder how she would have felt if 25 years ago someone told her to stay home, keep MTV on and don't bother to vote because she 'just doesn't get it'

 

[Mursilis]

Somebody's watching all those stupid reality TV shows and clicking on TMZ.com.

I doubt she would have listened which, by the way, is the answer to this current 'problem'.

Puh-leeze. The issue, the topic, is voting, not equal pay.

If we had 100% voter turnout this country would be openly socialist within a decade. No republican senator or president would ever win again.

OR, how bout they import thousands, and thousands of unskilled, barely educated young people. Which in turn, will require the import of at least 2 of their unskilled, barely educated family members. They then, give them voting rights, as well as to the millions already here. No need for 100% voter turnout, to achieve the socialist utopia. Might take awhile, but a brilliant plan!!!!
Wish I'd thought it up. :sneaky:

Interesting, so that means most of the country wants socialist policies.

Meh. This is much to do about nothing, if it wasn't for the fact it's a Fox pundit no one would give a damn.

Most young people don't vote and it looks like this year the turnout for youth voters will be lower than the last midterm election.

Millennials are not getting much love from politicians this year.

The big reason for that is low expectations for turnout among young voters.

Back in 2010, the last midterm election, fewer than a quarter of voters ages 18 to 29 showed up at the polls. This year, it's looking even worse: 23 percent of voters under 30 are expected to vote. That's according to Eva Guidarini of the Harvard Institute of Politics, which studies young voters.

Of course the masses do. The masses always do. Everyone knows that's how things would go if there were 100% voter turnout. That's why they have elaborate gerrymandering, voter ID laws and all sorts of other efforts to make sure only the right ones vote.

 

[runzwithsizorz]

No, it means the government of this country wants socialist policies.

Out of my 1500 facebook friends, only 2 of them are saying anything about elections and\or voting.

 

[brycejones]

That's a lame attempt at diverting from the subject of the OP. Its also a dishonest graph since it is comparing median pay and not comparing salaries for men and women performing the same job.

 

[piasabird]

I think this article makes a point. There have been studies that seem to indicate that Young Men and probably young women also don't start to fully develop their logical reasoning capabilities till they are at least 25 years old. They just have not lived long enough to experience what it mean to be an adult. I think we expect young people to grow up too fast. The world is a harsh and cruel place that you will not fully understand until you are done with formal schooling and try to face it on your own. High School kids are not well equipped to make adult decisions. Maybe the voting age should be about 30. That way they would have had a few years to work on their own and see what the world is really like.

Maybe the better question is who will make the money to pay your parents and grand parent's SS? The answer is always the next generation. The purpose of family should be to produce a healthy and thriving next generation and Same Sex Marriage does not do that. It still takes sperm to procreate a new human life.

Topical. Cogent. Well-stated. Tell us more.
