RUSH: UK Daily Mail. This story ran on the 3rd of April, so it\u2019s about two weeks ago old. I found it yesterday. Before I give you the headline here, can I remind you of Undeniable Truth of Life Number 24? These are the 35 Undeniable Truths of Life, written by me in the eighties, \u201986 or \u201987. I was in Sacramento. I had a weekly column at a local paper, and one day I was under deadline, and I was having writer\u2019s block. I couldn\u2019t think of anything to write. So I just started writing down single-sentence, single-thought ideas trying to spark an idea. And after a while I said, “You know what? I\u2019ve got a column right here. Every one of these things undeniably true.”<\/p>\n
And, of course, remember it was written back in 1987, which was just 18-or-so years from the birth of the modern era of feminism, which I trace to 1969 or \u201970. The modern era. Not the suffragette gang and all, but the modern era can be traced to the late sixties, 1970. It was then that if you open a car door for a woman it was a bad move. “I can do it myself, thank you.” To comment favorably on a woman\u2019s appearance was a bad move because it was “objectifying” the woman and denying her mental acuity and so forth. These were touchy times.<\/p>\n
It was touch-and-go with virtually everything one said or did with a woman back then, especially the young women who were all caught up in this, who believed it like it was the new Bible. It was tough going. And so at the time, 1987, the truth was: “Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.” If you go back to those days and look at the leaders, you\u2019ll see what inspired that. I know it\u2019s controversial, but truth often is. So keep that in mind and here\u2019s the story here from the UK Daily Mail, about two weeks ago.<\/p>\n
“Do Girls Only Want a Career Because They Can\u2019t Attract a Man? Provocative Study Casts High Fliers in a New Light — Forget ambition, financial security and that first-class degree. A controversial study has concluded that the real reason women pursue careers is because they fear they are too unattractive to get married.” (interruption) We\u2019ll get to the pretty ones in a second. That\u2019s not who this is about. This story… (interruption) That\u2019s the whole point, Dawn. This story is not about the, quote, unquote, “pretty ones.” Ah, look.<\/p>\n
See, Dawn has been here for years and even she\u2019s getting mad now. You can\u2019t avoid it. It\u2019s one of those things. It\u2019s a real risk to bring this stuff up because people have knee-jerk emotional reactions to it. They don\u2019t want to think about this. Everybody\u2019s primed to be offended every day, looking for reasons to be. It doesn\u2019t take much to offend anybody these days. But I didn\u2019t write the story, and I didn\u2019t do the study. The author of the story is a woman, Fiona Macrae. (interruption) Yeah, that Fiona Macrae. The Fiona Macrae, exactly right. <\/p>\n
“A controversial study has concluded that the real reason women pursue careers is because they fear they are too unattractive to get married.” So are we to conclude, then, that the job market is the place unattractive women go to access men? Back in your young teenage, early twenties, thirties, when everybody wants to meet Mr. or Ms. Right, there were books written about how to do it. The Sensual Woman, Sensuous Woman, all kinds of books about it. The best advice I ever got on where to meet a woman was to go out and buy all the magazines that women are reading about where to meet men, find out where you\u2019re supposed to be, and go there. It wasn\u2019t museums. It was work. It was bars. It was social places. <\/p>\n
So a controversial study\u2019s concluded that the real reason women pursue careers, is because they fear they are too unattractive to get married. So we might conclude here that the job market is the place unattractive women who think they\u2019re unattractive — and this is the key, too — I mean, who\u2019s to define “unattractive”? Potter Stewart, when asked to define pornography, said, “I can\u2019t, but I know it when I see it.” The same thing here. The key here is not what everybody else thinks, but what the particular woman thinks. If she thinks she\u2019s unattractive, this study says she\u2019s gonna go find a career. So the job market is the place, according to the study, that unattractive women, or women who think they\u2019re unattractive, go to access men. <\/p>\n
Is this the real reason liberal women insist on working? I\u2019m just asking questions based on the study. I didn\u2019t do any of this. I\u2019m just reacting to it as America\u2019s Real Anchorman. “The research team, made up of three women and two men, said that when men are thin on the ground, ‘women are more likely to choose briefcase over baby\u2019.” “Thin on the ground” meaning not very many of \u2019em, not physique, just not very many of \u2019em. So women are more likely to choose briefcase over baby at that point. The plainer a woman is, they claim, the more she\u2019s driven to succeed in the workplace. I give you Undeniable Truth of Life Number 24 here, folks. I mean, people often ask me, “Does it ever get boring being right?” And I always say no. It\u2019s like when I play golf with a golfer. “Does it ever get boring hitting it straight right where you intend to?” “Nope. It\u2019s the most fun thing in the world.” Well, it\u2019s the same thing about being right; you never get tired of it. You just don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: By the way, this story from the UK Daily Mail is a survey of American women. I should have pointed that out. “Central to their argument was the idea that women have evolved to become homemakers and men, providers.” They evolved and that\u2019s central to the argument, and that\u2019s the baseline from which everything else is judged and measured, if you will. “They said this means that when men are scarce in a particular area, women, and particularly less attractive ladies, may decide they need to provide for themselves with a well-paid career.” And they\u2019re out there. <\/p>\n
