Moore: “Call Me A Sexist, But I Hold Women To Higher Standards Of Conduct Than Men.” According to Moore in Fox News, “The marchers seemed to believe that resorting to vulgarity is a measure of women’s empowerment. They seemed to be saying: Look at me. I can cuss like a sailor. The chains are off. We are liberated, because we can be as profane as the men. Call me a sexist, but I hold women to higher standards of conduct than men.” [Fox News – Stephen Moore, 1/23/17]
Moore Stated That Men, Not Women, Needed To Be The Breadwinner Of The Family. According to CNN, “In an appearance on C-SPAN in 2000, first reported by The New York Times, Moore argued that self-sufficient women were leading to a decline in the American family and said men needed to be the breadwinners of the family. ‘It’s not a good thing that black women are making more than black men today. In fact, the male needs to be the breadwinner of the family, and one of the reasons I think you’ve seen the decline of the family, not just in the black community, but also it’s happening now in the white community as well, is because women are more economically self-sufficient,’ he said. ‘So, I would like to see an increase in black earnings because black men have not closed the gap as much as black women have.’” [CNN, 4/30/19]
