Erick Erickson said something offensive and stupid, which is usually not the kind of thing I’m inclined to write about, because no one much will be surprised to hear I find the sentiments of a southern reactionary contemptible. But for the sake of setting the table, here he is, dropping science:
I’m so used to liberals telling conservatives that they’re anti-science. But liberals who defend this and say it is not a bad thing are very anti-science. When you look at biology — when you look at the natural world — the roles of a male and a female in society and in other animals, the male typically is the dominant role. The female, it’s not antithesis, or it’s not competing, it’s a complimentary role.
The stupid kind of stands on its own, but for further context: this happened during a roundtable discussion (of which there were no women members) on Lou Dobbs’ Fox Business show. Lou and the gang were freaking out over a recent Pew report finding that around 40 percent of households have a woman as the sole or primary source of income; this, apparently, was a sign that America is not only on the Road to Serfdom but is also on the Road to Matriarchy, which would be bad because science.
