Erick Erickson, CNN's newest contributor believes feminists are "too ugly to get a date", according to his Twitter account. Yes, this person got hired as a journalist.
As a professional journalist, Erickson should try harder to keep his stupidity to himself. My issue, however, is with CNN. What were they thinking? His illiterate comments should be enough to get him kicked out. Most likely he'll end up with his own show, lose all his corporate sponsorships and then get hired at FOX News.
But lets' talk about where Erickson got these preconceived ideas about feminists. Just from his Twitter account, he believes feminists are: "Feminazi's, too ugly to get a date (in addition all ugly feminists should return to the kitchen); also, his reaction to Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize: "I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it” . Where do these stereotypes come from? (FYI: Feminazis's were women in Germany during the 1930's who had at least 8 boys to contribute to the Hitler Youth. They were given certificates.

Ah, responsible journalism! Reporting prejudiced stereotypes of women's rights workers as fact.
Most of my readers do not identify as feminists and have criticized me extensively for being one. Do I fall into these stereotypes? Please put all comments and your ideas in the post section below. I think you have to click where it says 0 comments.
I don't think you are ugly. And obviously you can get a date...and I would be afraid if you were in the kitchen cooking all the time (this opinion comes from living with you for a year...please don't take offense, perhaps you have become a kitchen fanatic in the last 3 years)
ReplyDeleteNo way! Eric cooks.
