Princeton Mom: ‘Antagonistic Feminists’ Embolden Women to Ignore Husbands

Susan Patton, aka the Princeton Mom, told Fox & Friends Monday morning that women needed to be more respectful of their husbands, advising women to do such simple tasks as asking their husbands if they’d like a drink or what they want for dinner.

“They’re not doing that anymore,” Patton said. “We have overcorrected.”
“Is this feminism?” Steve Doocy wondered.

“It is,” Patton agreed. “There was a time, and for a good long while, when women’s perspectives and considerations were just not even on anybody’s radar. We have overcorrected now, to the point that we are so all about women’s priorities and women balancing. Men are doing all the same things, the only difference now is women have become so emboldened by these antagonistic feminists that they have lost sight of the fact that this is the man you married.”

Because if they wait until after they graduate they'll be old and ugly and dried up and infertile and nobody will ever love them because they'll have to compete with all those pretty young college girls coming up behind them.

and needs to mind her own damned business for a while. My guess is that her business needs a lot more minding than she is giving it.

...because Antagonistic Feminist!

I will have my Martini dry/ rocks and tell your mom to stop calling me Darwood.

On another note, for women, do you feel betrayal at conservative women who express this?

Does she even know that male feminists exist, for one thing?

Before you jump all over me, let me explain. I was staying w/ my Sister and her husband (who is very right wing and turns on Fox the minute he gets up in the am. The minute he left, I switched it to MSNBC, not much better, but still.) I wanted throw a brick at the television but I couldn't turn it off while he was there and I love my sister so I didn't want to make waves.

I have never seen such a self-hating woman in my life. She had no concept of mutual respect. It was one extreme or the other. I would really like to know what her personal life looks like. I can't believe that anyone gives this idiot airtime. She is a disgrace to women everywhere.
