Joe Biden Drinking Out Of Misandrist 'MALE TEARS' Mug In Child Tax Credit Speech
This is what a feminist looks like.
When Tyrant Joe Biden began his speech todayannouncing most American families with kids under 18 would be getting their first installment of the paid-monthly expanded Child Tax Credit, a baby in the audience started to wail, from being in the presence of tyranny, probably. "It's okay," Joe Biden snarled, snarlingly, "Let 'im cry."

Probably so he could drink his MALE TEARS! And not just that, but with only one hand.
OH HOHOHOH everything is stupid.
On the real, though, "it's okay, let him cry, or her, whatever" is a feminist — not misandrist — act. I'm having a (false?) memory of Ann Richards or Molly Ivins talking about how women with kids couldn't really go to political events, because the baby might start crying. Until someone did, and whoever was talking said, "It's okay, let him cry." Googling does not confirm this memory, and tweeting at Ann Richards's daughter Cecile Richards hasn't confirmed anything either. (Journalism!) But it's too good a story not to be true, and it's too true a story not to be good.
Anyway, if it was anybody, it seems like it'd be them. Unless it was Dolores Huerta. Or oooooh, maybe it was Nancy Pelosi and her healthy passel of kids.
"Let him cry, or her, whatever." How many women are still cut off from public spaces because their babies might disturb people? We sentimentalize "motherhood: the hardest job in the world." Republicans cry great tears about our (white) birthrate, and how Millennials need to take out their IUDs and hand over their uteruses for the good of the state. But we don't actually do anything as a society to either make mothering easier, or encourage young people to get their babymakers out. Now that I think about it, "it's okay, let him cry" could very well have been Elizabeth Warren, still waiting for her Aunt Bee.
The child tax credit, expanded both in how much it gives ($3000 to $3600 instead of $2000) and to whom (it will now go to people who were too poor to receive it before), is about to lift millions of children out of poverty with just one simple trick: a $250 or $300 a month check. Well-paid child care, hopefully, is on the way. Parenting will get just a bit easier for most people, and a LOT easier for those who need it most.
It's a happy day. And even happier with those male tears.
Hooray. BFD.
When I was a young warthog .... in HR, my favourite memory is a symposium held on retaining top talent by addressing stress in the workplace. The speaker called BS on the cries of stress from C-suiters, because funny thing: they're not that stressed. They will say there are, and claim to be the hardest working people, but when you quantify the facts: they have more time off, more money, access to first class travel, maid service, all of that, and then compare it the lives of those who work below them, it doesn't add up. Their talk of stress from working hard is just .... class kibitzing. Hoo boy my VP boss was mad.
TL;DR turns out money CAN buy happiness, it's just these top-tier poseurs gotta front about grinding so they look good for the puff piece and the board review.
