IN RESPONSE TO NBC'S "A WOMAN'S NATION"

This week, NBC News and cable news channel MSNBC are airing a week-long campaign called "A Woman's Nation" with special guest editor Maria "Mrs. Terminator" Shriver. Yesterday, Ms. Shriver kicked off her weeklong male-bashing and feminist praise with an Sunday appearance on Meet The Press with David Gregory.

Let me start things off by saying this:
The feminization of the American man has officially begun.

There is no such thing as a gender wage gap. It's a long-running lie. Women don't earn as much as men simply because they either don't work as hard or because they don't know how to negotiate for a higher pay rate. Rather than encouraging women to become more competent in the workforce, the feminists (Maria Shriver and Valerie Jarrett included) wish to institute entitlements which ensure that women don't have to work as hard as men to receive equal pay as men, based simply on the fact that they are women.

Ms. Shriver's rhetoric promotes divisiveness between the genders, which is something that we do not need as a nation. California's First Lady is clearly pandering to neo-feminists for more gender entitlements and unconstitutional privileges. The polls given on Sunday's Meet The Press were clearly inaccurate. I'm sure that the 80% of men who were supposedly okay with this being a "woman's nation" were not completely aware of how they were being screwed over (and how they are ABOUT to be screwed, but that's another topic). Quite frankly, I'm disappointed in NBC Universal for giving this sort of sexism a platform.

Frankly, I'm also disappointed in President Obama. In the midst of a bad economy, a deepening national deficit, almost 10% unemployment, major opposition to health care reform, and a war in the Middle East, he SOMEHOW found the time to create an unconstitutional Council For Women & Girls (but not one for men and boys). It's an even bigger slap in the face to men everywhere that the chair of this Council For Women happens to also be Obama's Senior White House Advisor, Valerie Jarrett. Obama might as well have made the National Organization for Women a government department. With a high-ranking government official also heading a department made specifically for women, and also with a woman known for her reverse-sexist practices appointed to the Supreme Court (I'm talking about Sonia Sotomayor, of course), why shouldn't men expect way more unfair legislation similar to (and most likely worse than) alimony, spousal support, and child support? These are three of the biggest examples of wasteful, socialistic government spending - and it's another example of how women receive unfair entitlements, privileges, and rewards simply for being women. Is this the type of message we need to be giving our men? If we are going to have a women's council, then we need to be fair to BOTH genders and create one for men. Oh, that's sexist? Well then, this week-long "A Woman's Nation" campaign is also sexist. That also goes for anything that is gender-specific with the exclusion of public restrooms and health products.

Lastly, if this truly is "A Woman's Nation" and women are capable of everything that men are capable of, then we need to do away with the institutions of child support and alimony.

All these entitlements and special handicaps for women only hinder them in the long run. That's not what "A Woman's Nation" should be all about. Because in reality, this is not a woman's nation; nor is it a man's. It's EVERYONE'S nation.

To David Gregory, a man for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration, I offer these words of advice - the advice given to you by Comedy Central's Jon Stewart: MAN UP.
