Quote:Yet Heritage’s problems are hardly limited to its handling of Fuentes. The think tank’s recent decision to hire Scott Yenor, a family-policy scholar, to lead the Foundation’s B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies poses serious questions about the institution’s beliefs concerning the equality of women in the workplace and perhaps even as citizens.

Quote:Yenor believes that employers should be legally permitted to discriminate against women in the workplace, and has advocated for legal changes that would allow businesses “to support traditional family life by hiring only male heads of households, or by paying a family wage”—that is, denying women jobs solely on the basis of their sex or paying men more for performing the same job as women. He also believes that “governments should be allowed to prepare men for leadership and responsible provision, while preparing women for domestic management and family care.”

Quote:Marriage, Yenor argues, should be the formation of a natural community that can “reconcile what men and what women want.” In his view, the two sexes are formed by nature to be fully complementary. Women bear children, are more tender and attached to their offspring, and prefer to focus on the home. Men father children, are more attached to achievement and competition, and prefer to focus on matters outside the home. Traditional marriage brings these two worldviews together by making men responsible for supporting and protecting women as they achieve their goals, and by making women the primary support for men as they achieve theirs.

Quote:He recently called this noble effort “a feat of social engineering,” and said in a 2024 debate that “what we’ve really learned in both the last 60 years, and maybe even in the last 220 years,” is that there’s nothing automatic about “the engines that seem to drive men and women toward marriage.” Those engines are “part of a large social project” that needs legal support, and the legal changes wrought since first-wave feminism appear to Yenor to have weakened “the scaffolding of that project.”

So we naturally only want to have babies, to be stuck in the home and live solely through some mediocre-at-best man but also it's NOT automatic and there needs to be extensive societal scaffolding otherwise we forget what we truly want because we got distracted by such silly things as actually living our own lives (and being quarrelsome, of course).

He's doing a really good job showcasing how men are the "logical" sex here.

And the article never points it out, but he's also a massive hypocrite. His wikipedia page tells me his wife is an events coordinator, which sounds suspiciously like a job 🤔

Yup, the classic "Women want nothing more than to have ALL the babies, but also we have to pressure and legally force them to have babies because otherwise they won't have babies". I guess we can chalk it down to us just being soooo hard to understand when we don't want what men claim we should want.

Just more demonstration that evopsych is horseshit that seeks to hold women back. It's the new religion of bigots.
