Marc Rudov on O'Reilly Factor: "Men are depressed ... because men are allowing women to take over the world"
Summary: Author Marc Rudov asserted on Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor that "[m]en are depressed, and it's their own fault, because men are allowing women to take over the world." He also told guest host Laura Ingraham: "I don't have a problem with women, Laura. I have a problem with little girls occupying adult female bodies. And any women who feel entitled to wining and dining and jewelry and free vacations are not adults."

"When a woman wants to marry a man who's uglier than she is, she's doing it because she wants power and control. She wants a man who's going to do double backflips over her, so she can keep him under control so then she can cheat on him and get her sex with the hot men outside the home, Laura."
Speaking from experience, Marc?

So what does he think about men who marry "uglier" women? Oh, they're doing it out of love and compassion? Equal, reciprocal love?

Repressed homosexual or just straight up misogynist - you be the judge.
And bless you (NO, NO, NO DAMN YOU) MMFA for reminding me that Ingraham is occassionally lucid.

I think Juliajayne has a little crush on him.It's pretty obvious. "Who him? He's gross! I hate him!" (Dear Diary, Mark threw a rock at me today...OMG!I think he wants me to pay for a date!)
Anyway, his "women in control" angle just doesn't play in my manly world.I denounce and reject him.

Julia,
In part, you said...."Really, who would want to be with him? He's ugly inside and out."
This alone might certainly explain Rudov's being asked by BillO to be on his pathetic little show!
Small ugly (inside and out) impish minds think alike.......

Did you notice she said
"Do you pay for dates, Marc?"
When asked to repeat, she said
"Do you pay on dates, Marc?"
...which is a very different thing.
I suspect it was A freudian slip on Laura's part, but she was asking, shall we say, the Elliott Spitzer question?

Ingraham ridiculing a knuckle-dragging "women are inferior" Neanderthal.
Probably the last time she works on Fox... ;0)

A man of quality is NOT threatened by a woman's Equality.
And what would Laura Ingraham know about marriage?
I love how these winger females like Ingraham and Coulter have so much to say about traditional relationships, etc. but I don't see any of them with husbands and/or kids!

LMAO...
One of the funniest posts I've read in awhile... Why do I get the idea that the only relationships this guy's ever had came at $1.99 a minute or $500 a night??
What a putz.

"Real" men like George W, his Darkness, Dick Cheney, Bill, Rush and Glenn.
No wonder the rest if us feel inadequate.

i don't get the impression it's a real radio program, notice it's on the internet. i'm sure "......he possesses a vast informal education in relationships with women.", but does getting turned down by every woman you've ever approached really qualify you in a good way?
myself, i don't blame him at all. if there's enough stupid people out there willing to pay money to listen to/read him, can you blame him for taking advantage of that? nope, not at all.
"the fault dear brutus, lies not within our stars, but within ourselves."

Anyone here know what a misandrist is? Well, at least 8 commenters have called Marc a misogynist - the oldest trick in the book. Grow up. Gender equality is not just about women's equality issues. It is about those pertaining to women AND men also - the usufruct privileges women enjoy at men's expense are being challenged by Marc, which is why men want to listen to him, and buy his books.
Marc is a person with feelings, and the way y'all have just reacted, with extreme hostility to his call for equality, in effect, attempting to marginalize, and dehumanize him for a LEGITIMATE BEEF, speaks volumes about this website. I am a liberal, but I am not one of you. Goodbye.

"Men are depressed, and it's their own fault, because men are allowing women to take over the world. You know, female happiness is an oxymoron."
Wow, as a white male and therefore de facto one of the rulers of the world by following backwards Rudov's logic and general preception, I feel entitled to address this statement. First let me say I will be adding the line one of the ruling junta to my resume as I have overlooked a valuable experience set for my next job search. A job search that will begin immediately as I am more than willing to give the job whose description is "to take over the world" to whoever wants it -- truthfully, running the world has been terribly stressful with incredibly long hours and I am looking forward to opening some doors to other opportunities, taking an extended vacation, and sending some time with the family. Although, my wife at that time will be a member of the ruling class -- so no plan is perfect, maybe we can catch some time during the power transition. Back to the point I have "had this job" for going on 30 years and whoever wants it -- it is yours.
Now on the subject of oxymorons or more correctly moron's I think Rudov has that covered. So I'll end here.

He has a problem with "little girls occupying adult female bodies". So do a lot of child molesters. What is he trying to say about himself?
This humanoid should be cut open and examined...by women scientists naturally.

"Marc Rudov is an investment banker and business consultant residing in Silicon Valley (Bay Area), California. Although formally educated in engineering and business, he possesses a vast informal education in relationships with women."
His "vast informal education in relationships with women" probably consists of countless numbers of women turning down his advances in singles bars. This guy seems to be displaying an awful lot of anger towards women....

Personally I'm depressed that knuckle dragging neanderthals like Marc Rudov not only still exsist but they they are repeatedly given a venue to speak from and apparently have some semblence of an audience. His viewpoints, and the fact that they still play well to ANYONE is what depressess me.
It's not surprising though - Conservative marginalize intelligent women all the time, so his view are probably based only on what he knows: Whatever's left after intelligent, tlented and edictaed women are brushed aside. (IOW - most of the women in the Fox News lineup.) Men like him are vermin. Vermin that give REAL men a bad name, while marginizing REAL WOMEN and denigrating those that are left. Would that I could live long enough to see humanity free from the influences and opinions of such low-lifes.
