Megyn Kelly had Lou Dobbs and Erick Erickson on America Live today, to hold them accountable for yesterday’s bizarre and hysterical panel on the rise of female breadwinners, from which women were conspicuously absent. Unfortunately, her follow-up kind of takes the fun out of it. Dobbs calls Kelly “Oh Dominant One,” and accuses her of calling on Erickson (whose biological defense of traditional gender roles Kelly capably debunks) because “he’s more fun.” Is this what TV people mean by "chemistry"? Is it supposed to make your flesh crawl? Meanwhile, Kelly’s lovely point about the historical role of so-called scientific evidence in discrimination against biracial couples goes basically unacknowledged. Free Megyn!

Watch Fox News Panic Over the Rise of Female Breadwinners
Ugh. Who told Fox News that 40% of primary breadwinners in families with children are now women? This kind of stuff terrifies Lou Dobbs and his male colleagues, leaving them panicked and histrionic, free-associating apocalyptic clichés.
Weighing on the Pew Research Poll last night, Juan Williams said the rise of female breadwinners means there’s “something going terribly wrong in American society and it’s hurting our children.”
“Those are the children who survive,” Dobbs replied. “54 million abortions since Roe v. Wade. What has been the impact? What does it say about our society? High school drop outs...”
Next, Erik Erickson said that encouraging female breadwinners is like denying climate change:
Doug Schoen concluded: “We’re losing a generation. Bottom line, it could undermine our social order.”
At least Fox spared itself the hypocrisy of including one of its many, popular female anchors and correspondents in the debate.
