Do other conservatives out there agree with National Review's "Real Men Don't Have Daughters" idea?

[ck4829]

I think it's worth asking, it's a major vein of conservative thought, so do conservative icons and legislators agree with National Review when it says "Real Men Don't Have Daughters"?

[Ken Burch]

1. Do they drown them in the river at birth?

Or is NR coming out in favor of abortion for gender selection purposes?

[gollygee]

2. Do you have a link?

Is this because Obama has daughters? Huh? It's pretty random . . .

Odd

(Signed, a mom of two daughters, with a husband whom I believe is a 'real man')

3. Here. 4th paragraph

12. Ok well that's all kinds of crazy

I am going out on a limb and guessing that Republicans and Democrats have the same general ratio of sons to daughters.

4. Do you have a link to the article? nt

[ck4829]

11. Thanks, a google search for the phrase didn't work for me. nt

5. Is this a joke? really is it? Cause if it isn't boy is the republican party of the wrong track of

life. Remember fellas behind every great man is a woman pushing him to be great. Damn give her credit. But then again why in the hell would any woman want to be with thinkers like that if it is true.

8. They are 100% serious

Cover article of their latest edition.

20. OMG how sick. I wonder what are they going to do if they have a daughter? Kill them like

they do in some foreign countries? Just wondering. I would love to know what kind of mothers gave birth to this cancerous idiots.

[hifiguy]

7. I guess ole Chimpy ain't no real man then

Two daughters. No sons.

Same goes for LBJ and Nixon. Two daughters each.

[broiles]

18. Same for Cheney

[southernyankeebelle]

21. Hell Cheney is no man in the first place. He is a chicken. When he was called to duty he made

sure he didn't go. He is nothing more then a chicken hawk.

9. What's the point of having 5 strapping young lads if...

None of them are willing to fight in the wars that you're party is so willing to wage

[JaneQPublic]

10. Dubya, Dick Cheney, Richard Nixon, John McCain -- all son-less. (nt)

[abelenkpe]

13. I doubt it

Sounds like the idiotic ramblings of a right wing fool paid to fill a page with misogynist/bigoted anti Obama baloney channeling the mideval ages probably due to watching too many reruns of game of thrones.

[LadyHawkAZ]

14. The idea that real men only produce boys

is about as old as the discovery that the really fun boinky thing Ugg did with Ooma was what made her belly swell up. Since (R)s get most of their sex ed from that era anyway, this sort of came along for the ride.

[ismnotwasm]

15. Ew

I don't know but it explains why they want to treat women as automatic fetus incubators.

[hughee99]

16. John Wayne had 4 daughters,

Raygun had 3 daughters, Glen Beck has a couple, and Paul Ryan has one as well. Is anyone repuke going to suggest that they aren't "real men"?

That's going to be a tough argument to make, since many conservatives have daughters.

[SoCalDem]

17. Here's an interesting scientific article about this

Chromosomes Are So 20th Century - Male Genes Really Determine Baby Gender, Says Study

By News Staff | December 14th 2008 01:00 AM | Print | E-mail | Track


Men determine the sex of a baby depending on whether their sperm is carrying an X or Y chromosome. An X chromosome combines with the mother's X chromosome to make a baby girl (XX) and a Y chromosome will combine with the mother's to make a boy (XY).

A Newcastle University study suggests that an as-yet undiscovered gene controls whether a man's sperm contains more X or more Y chromosomes, which affects the sex of his children. On a larger scale, the number of men with more X sperm compared to the number of men with more Y sperm affects the sex ratio of children born each year

19. You couldn't be more Liberal than the Mr.and me...No daughters...

I've always wondered if I might have been a good mother to a daughter.
what she might have looked like,
I, also, had no sisters.
Sons Rock but so do Daughters.
