Fox Host Credits Gender Wage Gap With Helping Women Keep Their Jobs

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/04/09/fox-host-credits-gender-wage-gap-with-helping-w/198819

and now for our first wing nut of today Fox's own Melisa Frances who encourages women to stay under paid.

Fox Business host Melissa Francis attempted to justify the gender wage gap by claiming that women fared better than men during the recession because they make less money, allowing them to hold onto their jobs.

President Obama marked Equal Pay Day on April 8 by signing two executive orders to help narrow the gender pay gap. Obama also urged the Senate to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, which was eventually blocked by Senate Republicans on April 9. Currently, women make 77 cents for every dollar earned by men working full-time. 

Francis appeared on the April 9 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom to debate the President's push on the gender wage gap with Alan Colmes. During the discussion, Francis claimed that the reason more women than men were able to keep their jobs during and after the recession is because women make less money:

FRANCIS: I would also point out that men lost jobs at two and a half times the rate as women in this last recession. I know plenty of families where the man is now out of work and the woman is the one who's working full time. Probably because she makes a little less, so she was able to keep her job.

do they teach a dunce class on self degradation and self worthlessness?  they shouldn't hire any of those who tutored republicans on how to talk to women, and other humans, that failed big time.  what she has said is the thing that will keep women in a subservient box for men to exploit and Fox wants or expects them to look forward to a low wage life, with over inflated insurance vouchers ala Lyin' Paul Ryan. now is the time to bring back stoning /s.  thought they were denying a wage gap wqell somebody screwed up the taliking point.
